not to be like Dont organize w psl (also why would u listen to me about that) but is it true that they still maintain china is revisionist/capitalist? prolewiki says this view was reaffirmed in 2023 (among other information about PSL failures on ground with things like sexual abuses :/ ) i still have a primarily positive view of them and organizing with them, i’m simply curious
that is not correct. PSL maintains that China is socialist. I think the prolewiki article is a bit of a misrepresentation
that’s good!
Main issue with orgs related to or following the same strategy as PSL is the form of their organizing, not necessarily the stances they take ideologically. They’re NGOs doing recruitment drives, not mass movements. There is a reason why they ultimately try to form a coalition with democrats! They’re rebranded progressives/US Green Partiers
I haven’t seen the PSL form a coalition with Democrats. Do you have references?
Two easy-to-explain crossovers here are the event where Jill Stein, Cornell West, and Claudia de la Riva all did a joint “vote out fascism” drive, and the No Kings rallies.
Another issue with PSL I neglected to mention is their social media focus. It’s a requirement to post like it’s your job and have zero opsec!
