What's the consensus on PSL? (The Party for Socialism and Liberation) (lemmygrad.ml)

Before discovering this community, I was in a different community that proudly calls itself leftist. I posted a documentary; Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang which was very eye-opening for me.

Anyway, posting that started to really upset people, saying that the documentary is PSL propaganda. That PSL is authoritarian, backed by a Chinese Maoist billionaire and that PSL is riddled with sex abuse scandals. That of course PSL would simp for DPRK because it's authoritarian. I was even called a holocaust denier for defending DPRK.

So is PSL bad? Where can I find better information on this? I've already tried looking into PSL and it all seems okay? The sex abuse scandals I am not sure about, is there more information on this? Am I being too critical on this?

If you have researched and found nothing to back up any negative claims, there is a better than even chance it’s probably bot bullshit.

I agree. The reason why I still feel the need to ask this is because I don't know if I researched enough. I am extremely new to all of this, to ML-theory, to materialism.

I'm confident the the people deriding you are:

-50% bots

-25% class enemies acting in bad faith

-24% people who have gotten duped by the above

-1% Ted Danson

The people who were deriding me called the commenters in the documentary "russian bots" because they used the word "westoid".
