I've been reading theory, grinding my ML points, lenin-shining and now I want to Get Organized and Serve the People. landlord-sus

I know this is largely a regional choice, but among the major Marxist-Leninist orgs, which are doing the best work, in your opinion? Not asking anyone to dox what org they are in!

I've seen FRSO and PSL , but wanted to know people's general opinions on them, or other orgs I should check out. I have a firm belief that proper theory and practice leads to better results, so it's important that theory and practice are both good. Additionally, the international struggle must be paramount, since this is amerikkka

the top end of your orgs are absolutely dismal

I think at least part of DSA leadership isn’t bad. They unendorsed AOC for her positions on Palestine which I honestly wasn’t expecting.

I kinda expected airing my grievances with the DSA and the CPUSA might open up an arena for infighting but I genuinely don't want this to happen.

There's plenty to be discussed about the DSA leadership but I think I'd only really do this face to face with people because the internet really doesn't need yet-another unproductive slapfight.

At the end of the day there's a lot of comrades and even just progressive libs in the DSA who are putting a lot of energy into fighting for a better world. I might not always agree with their strategies or the DSA leadership but this is where critical support isn't some trope for me but it's a very real thing; I largely support the DSA's efforts, I have criticisms of the DSA (especially the leadership) but I would rather direct my energy against capitalism/imperialism/colonialism/the bourgeoisie and the DotB than putting it into attacking the DSA. Especially in a space like this one.
