Lots of Ukraine and USA flags there. Liberals for sure. It was at best a popular front event. Agitate and recruit potentials to mass socialist organizations. That’s all.

Interesting timing with the cuts to USAID.
I totally get this. Same exact experience when I am back to birth place. I rarely return. Hehe
America: "First time?"
Replaced with “Podcast Subscription Europe” and “/r/TheShitpostsofAmerica”
These need tariffs!
But how are we going to fund welfare?
Who is the cutie to the right of Fidel in the photo?! 😍
Looking for historical examples of cadre in front orgs in previous or current AES states.
What a lovely photo of uncle Stalin.
Similarly, I don’t think the author appreciates the true value of front orgs, which is the protection of the cadre org from both external attack and as a way to pipeline liberals without needing to let them into your organization and fuck it up with their terrible opinions. DSA does the latter and that is why it is garbage despite having so many members (on paper).
I appreciate this new perspective on "front orgs." I was viewing them as deceptive and a bit anti-democratic or entryist before. This adds nuance.
You literally don’t have to read or do anything to join and MUG has similarly low standards.
I believe there is quite a bit of prior reading, study period and application process to join MUG, but I agree with your assessment of DSA at large. I am glad MUG and Red Star Caucus exist in so far as there is some opportunity for Marxist education and formation within the DSA, which I view more as a "mass org" than any party or Marxist-Leninist organization.
Approach to organizing in the USA
I have been considering the obvious organizations such as FRSO or PSL. However, an article really made some points that stood out to me:
https://cosmonautmag.com/2018/10/from-workers-party-to-workers-republic-2/
“What made the “Leninist party of a new type” different was not democratic centralism. Rather than simple centralism, Comintern parties had a form of ‘monolithism’ to use the phrase of Fernando Claudin.14 In other words, Comintern parties emphasized centralism over democracy or often just disregarded democratic norms entirely. While this wasn’t absent in the Second International, the Third was born as a sort of militarized civil war organization rather than a political party in the sense of a mass workers association as envisioned by Marx. While this may have been justified at a time when an actual global civil war against capitalism was on the table, this is not the case right now – we are not living in the same era of ‘Wars and Revolutions’ as the leaders of the Comintern
Really enjoying the videos by Red Pen. Thanks for the suggestion!
Starting to get involved in mass orgs locally, doing some applied theory, and it feels good!
Big thanks to everyone here, the Matrix server, and ProleWiki for time, patience, and shared knowledge.
But we need to use these Lockheed Martin hammers!
There is social unrest and its triggering action among the masses.
Who, if anyone, is being the "headlights" of the masses right now in Bangladesh?
Source that confirms the US government has all the keys to decrypt all Signal chats?
They don’t view themselves as a vanguard party, nor do they feel there is one in the USA yet. Their approach is focused on being the “headlights for the masses” by focusing on using the Mass Line within working class and national liberation movements or mass orgs, taking their needs and using Marxist-Leninism to address the immediate needs and tie it to the larger strategic goals of uniting the working class and national liberation movements towards revolution.
They focus on identifying the “advanced” within the masses who are the masses chosen leaders within unions, labor movements, and national liberation movements to help implement the above to reach the “intermediate” (vast majority of these movements) while protecting against the backwards, reactionary, or opportunists who move these movements away from liberators and revolutionary potential.
Recruit those among the advanced into Cadre and empower them with the tools of Marxism-Leninism.
Making communists.
I dig it.
Comparing Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL) and Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO)
Looking for input from actual people with knowledge and experience with FRSO and PSL. I asked ChatGPT to compare and contrast based on public data, and was curious if this summary was accurate?
FRSO and PSL are two different organizations with differing ideologies and approaches, primarily within the context of left-wing politics in the United States.
Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO): FRSO is a Marxist-Leninist organization formed in 1985 as the result of a merger between several smaller socialist groups. It advocates for revolutionary socialism and seeks to build a mass movement of the working class to overthrow capitalism and establish socialism. FRSO has a decentralized structure with several branches across the United States, each with its own priorities and strategies. It focuses on a broad range of issues including workers' rights, racial justice, gender equality, and anti-imperialism.
Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL): PSL is a Marxist-Leninis
There used to be a US Peoples’ Bank
The Postal Savings System offered depositors a US government-backed guarantee of security, but it was undone by for-profit private banks.
… before the bankers who are actually in power told them off. The liberal lefty FDR removed it.
Don’t trust a liberal. Two party system, one master - the bourgeoise.
