Just saw the new Bad Mouse vid about voting. He had this kind of aside about not voting PSL (along with another one against MLs which just seemed needlessly sectarian).
I was really surprised, so I tried looking further, and he linked some aggregate in the comments which leads to a podcast and a huge google doc with a bunch of links to different criticisms and summaries of problems from late 2020 or so. Covering up sexual abuse scandals and apparently even La Riva going on a transphobic rant in some meeting. And generally a very intransigent leadership culture.
Anyways, I was just wondering what the Hexbear take is here. Deep pandemic madness? Just a problem with the Philadelphia branch? I was considering trying to join when I'm back in the states, but maybe it would be too much of a headache.

I'll reserve a spot here since I haven't watched the vid nor do I really have time at this moment to do so or review the links, but off the top of my head I'm more disappointed in the fellas ultra-Left turn for the worse and his willingness to use unprincipled and unserious sources of evidence such as "fash"busters
I gave the video a quick look. I don't think Bad Mouse posted them, I think it came from libs in the comments. Although I do agree with you that the ultra-left turn is sad and disappointing. The guy brought me to the leftist I am today.
Oh even worse. But such is the fate of "ultra-Left" phrasemongers. Their phrases are Leftist, but in practice it turns out that they are aiding the enemies of the working class. You go in on the Left and come out on the Right. -Stalin
