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?

PSL coordinates with MORENA??? This is the first time I’ve heard that, extremely based

Yeah, at least the ones around where I live do that. I live in a very Latino large city.

PSL branches have a bunch of local autonomy and I'm not totally sure how they agree on who to coordinate with, but they do talk and plan stuff with other groups. Like one PSL member I used to know around here was also a Brown Beret (Chicano movement) and another was some kind of student group leader

Oh I’m sure there was brown beret integration where I tried to join, San Diego, I just didn’t know they were international. Insanely based though

PSL send a delegation to a Pan-Africanist conference in Niger. They definitely have international connections.
