I feel like making friends is ultimately an important part of being a socialist or whatever, just like it is with any organization. Plenty of people in orgs are normal people who have a good worldview. Even if the org isn't doing much, you can always still make connections (unless they do a bad job of that I guess).

That's actually very true. I am still very close, or feel very close, to friends I made through organizing a decade ago.
It's really the biggest reason I'd consider joining an org these days.
