Can anyone give me the lowdown on these folks? I like that they're a Marxist-Leninist org, in theory.

What's their vibe, what's the leadership like, local chapters etc.

    I believe if you go back far enough, they're a split of a split of the SWP. They dropped the Trotskyism sometime in their evolution, early 2000s maybe? Or maybe earlier?Now I think they're ML basically.

        By the wiki summary it’s correct, but I’d bet less than 25% of current membership knows who the hell Sam Marcy was

        That sounds right. And I remember hearing some dispute around Marcy's tendancy/politics/legacy? I'm kind of halfway remembering all this second hand though. I've never lived where they're active so never dug into them too much.
