Please ask me questions, or maybe even @Alaskaball about the party. I will answer to the best of my ability, or will refer to the party for question I do not. We need to build the base of cadre who will help lead the proletariat. It took the Bolsheviks years to develop, and we must start doing the same if there is any hope for the oppressed peoples of the world.

Passion for our Ideology, and compassion for our comrades!

    I applied, again, to PSL, and have yet to, again, hear from them, so I was planning on joining PCUSA if I didn't hear back from them this week.

    I'd like to know, though, if there's a stance on LGBTQ+ issues, I didn't see any on their site. I'm cis-het myself but would not feel comfortable in a place that didn't acknowledge the oppression of our Trans comrades and such and was not working to fight alongside them in their struggles. I support AES and the states that attempted to build communism in the 20th century, but obviously their record in that regard was not good, for the most part. Being that this is a party in the 21st century in the US I can't see this being a leader in the fight without embracing that.

      I applied to PSL when I was first looking for a party and never heard a single thing at all. So I feel you comrade.

      We fully support the struggle for comrades in the LGTBQ community. We even have a LGTBQ+ Commission where comrades who identify as one of those meet and discuss things like what should the party be doing to help their struggle, what should the party say regarding their line/stance, and figure ways to best organize others. They too are oppressed under capitalism, even more so in some regards. In my club we have comrades who identify as trans, and we make sure to use proper pronouns or gender neutral language.
