Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
No need to name your country or the party or any personal information that would give away your location.
The PCE (Partido Comunista de España) has actually a seat in the government coalition but they haven't been communists since the 70s. There are a bunch of other communist parties but you have to sort your way through the patsocs, reactionaries cough Frente Obrero cough, transphobes and revisionists. As in most other imperial core countries, the left is in a very bad state
Are you spanish? Frente Obrero, i think, is a fascist element in tne MCE. We have to fight him in all the sites that are possible.
Totally agree with you, comrade. Thankfully the mods have purged most reactionaries from this site (although they rear their stupid head from time to time)
As a USian, probably DSA (rad-lib), or CPUSA (leadership is revisionist, much of it’s probably based).
PSL and WWP are much better than either CPUSA or the Democrat shills at DSA.
I am asking just purely of curiosity, what makes PSL and WWP better than the CPUSA? Not taking either side here, just curious your reasoning.
The main thing for me is that they do not cling to the delusion that helping democrats in their electoral politics is going to achieve anything. Any party that wastes its time campaigning for democrats or democrat-affiliated politicians is not a serious communist party. That being said, i am aware that there are many good comrades in the CPUSA, but the overall strategy of the party at the national level seems to me at this time to be erroneous.
There’s also PCUSA and other more irrelevant, but based parties
Leadership of CPUSA is not revisionist.
Just got weakened after Joma Sison died (rest in power).
Supporting Ukraine.
Doing okay-ish. Grew from 16k members in 2020 to 26k+ active members right now, which is pretty good for a party over here. Our party organizes in local groups that tackle local problems. We have like 10% of the votes I think. We keep growing and we're active in a lot of places, constantly mobilizing people.
We have 15 free healthcare clinics at the moment. The largest Union with 1.3 million members is starting to follow us on a lot of points. We have two municipalities in the country under our control, with good results.
But more needs to be done.
Where is this 😩
The Netherlands
Where?

Badly. Its ran by reformists and is extremely revisionist. Not to say much bad about the rank and file, a lot of them are based but that is also a huge issue with them, I'm willing to say the majority of the membership is quite based but they become succdems the closer to leadership they get. Indicates to me that something is structurally wrong with the party as the views of much of the rank and file are not reflected by its leadership. Took the democratic out of democratic centralism.
US btw.
I know you wrote this a week ago but if you're still interested in organizing, I would recommend the FRSO. Here's the link: https://frso.org/. If you want to join, read through the program. For membership, there are two tiers. General members are those who cannot fully commit to doing revolutionary work; they pay 20 dollars a year and agree to the program. Cadre are bound by demcen and they are actively working towards building a communist party. FRSO strictly abides by demcen, the application of which can be explained through: https://frso.org/main-documents/on-marxist-organization/. Also, FRSO utilizes mass line as explained by: https://frso.org/main-documents/some-points-on-the-mass-line/. Feel free to ask any questions that you have.
Barely even exist online, even less irl.
Hope it gets better! What do you think needs to be done to change that?
Absolutely no idea. Basic communist labour didn't worked.
