/orgs/

Are you a burger? WWP and PSL are the only relevant orgs who do this. There are unfortunately no militantly pro Stalin groups that are relevant in burgerland.

The local CLP I have back home (I am at uni) is made up of good eggs who believe in a better world: they aren't explicitly marxist whatsoever but like the ideals in general. A kind of impious but righteous christian but in socialist form.

I was also at the Manchester March, which i met quite a few groups. The various CLP representatives there were much the same as I said, the trade unionists were just looking out for the workers, there was a org called "The Communist League" who were v interesting to talk to but kept on trying to sell me their paper (they split from a trot org, so ofc), the pro-Rojava lot were cool to talk to, there were two independent choirs that were a hoot to sing along with, the SWP were pretty cringy ngl and the ☭TANKIE☭s were fucking insufferable. I mean you are at a march about ending austerity cuts and supporting Corbyn and you chant about defending Venezuela and marching with DPRK flags.

Aus here. Which org should I join? SAlt are a bunch of petit bourg idpol-cucked liberals, so I've been turned off of them pretty hard. I saw a bunch of CPA youth members at the marriage equality rally, but idk enough about them to make a judgement.

I would remove them because they're not really left-wing and the CPUSA because historically it's been a complete FBI honeypot and nowadays it's basically a wing of the Democratic party.

In general, disappointing as fuck.

Brazil has plenty of left-wing radical parties but, for the most part, they're not really major players. The Communist Party split in the early 60s over precisely how much they should suck Moscows' dick, but two years later both were forced underground by the military government so it didn't matter. After re-democratization, the party that was formed after the split became junior patners in a coalition with the Worker's Party in the Lula period, where they became mostly known for having a senator that thinks Global Warming is an american plot to stop developing countries from challenging them in terms of industry and economics.

PSOL (Socialism and Liberty) is the college-y party that undergrads and grad students float towards because they're harmless enough to not put their careers into risk and because they talk a lot about gender and all that shit. They praised the "people's revolution" in Syria, they praised the "people's revolution" in Ukraine, and they're currently praising the anti-Maduro "people's revolution" in Venezuela.

PSTU and PCO, together with the orthodox Communist party, are the generic jurassic Left with lots of ☭TANKIE☭s that consistently say dumb shit and alienate the masses of leftists and progressive-minded people with their "all bourgeois parties are the same, maaaaan" shit at every election and at every political crisis, which no one buys because we're still terrified that one of the major right-wing parties will launch a coup so we don't want to just stay idle.

Among the most moderate (and popular) ones, you have PDT and the Worker's Party, two vaguely social-democratic parties with different tones of leftism within their own ranks. The Worker's Party's policies, corruption scandals and their stubborn Lula cult are really bothersome so I'm pretty much done with them, and the PDT is kind of a blank page who has just welcomed a major Social-Democratic nominee for 2018 named Ciro Gomes. Because he's the only guy who discusses social-democracy in terms of economic rearrangements and not populism inside the current arrangement, because he's the only mainstream respectable figure who talks U.S. imperialism without sounding whacky and nationalistic, and because he has a long record of attacking and being sued by the right people, that's the party I'm currently supporting and about to join, even though I'm much further to their Left.

Socialist Alliance seem pretty based though they are socdems.

The Green Party USA are left wing. Their new constitution is anti-capitalist.

I'm not. I would assume defending Stalin or the DPRK would be a way to completely ostracize yourself politically in the USA. In Europe it is similar, but as long as you can argue properly, your arguments are usually taken seriously, while I would imagine any argument pro-Stalin would outright be surpressed in the USA no matter the content.

For Holla Forums, Europe is a much more hostile enviroment than the US which is fortunate I guess. You can argue in defense of Marxism-Leninism all you want as long as you do it honestly, on the other hand Holocaust denial is cracked down upon extremly hard. Sadly, this is mostly because the authorities view communist parties as an historical oddity and not a threat, whereas the eternal burger gets constantly triggered and feels entitled to shout opinions down that are fundamentally "anti-American". Burgers don't know about the Streisand effect, I would love if the authorities would try to restrict the freedom of assembly and speech of my party because that would expose us to press coverage and social media drama.

The brazilian left is a joke, they are either SJWs or Trots, there is quite a few MLs but they are literally just SJWs with some economical knowledge
Most big political partys have lost all their power or influence over decades of infighting, and have no poular support due to the left being restrained to university students circles and all the race/gender bullshit they try so much to put down everyone's throats
The most promising leftist is a socdem that grabbed my attention with his views on foreign corporations slowy taking over the country, and promises of bigger economical independence and nationalism
I think he has a good chance, and while its not the ideal, its the better choice

Does this bloke have a chance of beating Mr "The Junta did nothing wrong Rossa deserved to be tortured" bloke?

I'm not sure of what you're trying to say.
