I've recently been elected to a position of non-negligible power in a leftist organization. In my time in the org I've noticed a lot of little inefficiencies and communication breakdowns that I think could be solved with a more coherent structure. Are there any good texts on how revolutionary parties have been structured? I don't so much mean the theory of ML organization, but literally what the org chart of a party looks like. Who the officers are, what their responsibilities are, what kind of meetings and programs are being held, etc.

I recognize that what has worked historically might not work for my current situation, but I can't help feeling like we're probably reinventing the wheel over here and that most of our problems have probably been solved before. I also recognize that the most comprehensive answer is to study history, but I'm hoping for something a little more condensed.

Any reading recommendations or advice would be appreciated!
