Everyone's always talking about PSL, SRA, DSA, RR, CPUSA, and I'm just over here like "I just wanna grill for god sake!"

There's a million little random leftist organizations with slightly different goals and ideologies, but which one should someone looking to, in the words of Father Matt, 'log the fuck off' go to? Which ones are crank warehouses? Which are honeypots? Which are full of libs?

Bitch and complain about your least favorite orgs and shill for your favorites here. Reply to others telling them that their org is full of libs and FBI agents. Etc.

EDIT: also anyone with a specific recommendation in the Quad Cities area in Iowa/Illinois definitely drop me a line

        Food not Bombs is kinda perfect because, while illegal in places, it's a project that hardly anyone could disagree with, so libs will often pat you on the back when they hear you're feeding people for free. It's also easy and accessible to start with, can teach you cooking/serving skills, and will link you up with other local activists.

        I've been wary about them since they made it clear that they were willing to hold rallies with fash groups locally. they also seem to believe that they aren't political?? we've done some joint events with them and they're very strange - even the people who are part of both groups can't really explain it all in a way that makes any sense.

        SRA is cool as long as you remember the org is your local chapter and not the national. National is a fucking shitheap garbage fire.

      could you share a bit about PSL? I've been thinking about joining them as supposedly the local chapter is decent.
