As of the last few months, I've been looking into nearby Marxist orgs, and now I'm finding the most developed one in my region is affiliated directly with the IMT (Trotskyist). I'm curious as to anyone's experiences with the IMT (do not doxx yourself) and whether it is worth organizing in.

    Honestly PSL is over-rated, mostly they are protest hoppers and have alot of SA scandals.

    I know some people don't like this advice but you're best off in a smaller ML org like the one you've joined or the CPUSA. Even though the latter's politics are flawed theres nothing wrong with being in an org of thousands

      I was really considering CPUSA, but I have comrades that were already in ACB so they were quick to interview and accept me. Honestly, it's nice to be valued, I've gotten nothing but good feedback from them and already have responsibilities.

      You may see some of them on here or on Lemmygrad more often soon.

      I just want to be able to help a party in a material way, and ACB offers the best avenue to that for me personally. The people in it I've talked to so far are great, I like where things are going, and my contributions are being lauded in a comradely way - not without criticisms, but plenty of positive feedback and offers to constructively work on them together. Have an editorial session tomorrow for an essay I wrote months ago and contributed to the site on a whim. Feels good.

        Yeah honestly I support your decision. While I do think that people need to work within the larger groups like the DSA and CPUSA, at the same time these groups can collapse due to internal divisions so we need people to build the infrastructure for the next communist party if it's needed.

        In an idea world people could be duel members but in practice who has the time for that, amirite?
