We’re a multinational, multigenerational organization of working-class people fighting for socialist revolution here in the United States. We know that the only way to overcome the crises of war, climate catastrophe, and automation is to abolish capitalism and replace it with a system that prioritizes people and the planet.

Unfortunately, and I'm extremely sad to say this, I don't think so. Frankly, the PSL was an important place for me to be built as cadre, and I think I don't know how others outside the party would have gotten the skills and experience I did. You're going to be grinded up and used up, feel free to check out my other comment, but you will learn some skills that are really very valuable.

I'd say take it for what it is, honest to god. Don't replicate the widerremoved culture yourself; and do plenty of research beforehand on whether there is absolutely any alternative. I'm sorry to say but in my experience the FRSO simply does not exist, prior to the recent crisis the PSL really was your best shot. Some localities have communist leagues or other organizations like that, I'd take a look into those if you can, but if a local PSL branch is what you've got going on locally I'd honestly give it a look. You won't be safe, but you will learn a lot

I may look into a more local org then. There's a base building org in the city near me. I'd have to commute to the city to do anything with them, and my labor aristocratic background might make it hard for me to fit in, but I'm already deep in autistic burnout and only just now dealing with my egg cracking. I fear the extra stress would break me before any the skills or connections have a chance to stick.
