    Preparr for a lot of liberalism and (white) baby's first steps into leftism. If you can get past that, it's great for pipelining and is often the largest org in town, so if you can get people to do things you care about you can have a larger impact than in a small org with better politics.

    You can also, 100%, dual card. Can be a good way to give your commufying comrades a path to a more commie org.

      they'll expel you real fast if you dual card with a demcent org and they find out. they're terrified of entryism, as much as the org exists to do entryism.

        It's safe to dual card with a non party org, so like, the IWW or any anarchist org.

          yeah, there's one anarchist org (I'm forgetting the name, something Rose) that has a demcent-like policy that might catch flak, but the others are safe.
