I've been reading theory, grinding my ML points, lenin-shining and now I want to Get Organized and Serve the People. landlord-sus

I know this is largely a regional choice, but among the major Marxist-Leninist orgs, which are doing the best work, in your opinion? Not asking anyone to dox what org they are in!

I've seen FRSO and PSL , but wanted to know people's general opinions on them, or other orgs I should check out. I have a firm belief that proper theory and practice leads to better results, so it's important that theory and practice are both good. Additionally, the international struggle must be paramount, since this is amerikkka

I'm in the PSL. I think it's a great organization and, at least in my area, they are the only explicitly political Socialist party that is doing real work towards advancing Socialism in America.

I think what a lot of people misunderstand about Socialist orgs in general is that, even in a DemCent org, individual branches have a lot of autonomy. 90% of the quality of your experience with a Socialist org will be because of the 5-20 people in your local (especially the leadership), not the national.

In Northeast Ohio, we are incredibly privileged to have a group of dedicated comrades who are both politically literate and active. National both supports us and keeps us accountable. They have the correct line on practically every important issue and on top of that, lack a party position on what I consider boutique or fringe issues. They are more active and more organized than any other Socialist party locally. They are the only real option.
