What has the PSL done differently than other leftist organisations in the U.S. ,and the west more generally, that has allowed them to be so successful? (lemmygrad.ml)

They have seen a meteoric rise in recent years. Their sister/front organisations like ANSWER, Codepink, People's Forum, BTnews have all become household names. When I look at protests in the U.S., it seems so many of them are organised directly, or indirectly, by them. In comparison, organisations like the CPUSA or the DSA are lacking behind.

How and why?

Yeah ik, I'm still in the process of joining but late at night sometimes doom and get scared. But I also know that what you say is true.

And, if they are going to be black bagging random idiots like me, I'm already screwed for posting here and for liking/sharing pro Palestine stuff and PSL stuff on Instagram.
