I’ve been trying to join a political party for awhile (PSL & FRSO) but i found my self in a bunch of swarming concerns like: -not being able to join either party due to both not having an -hearing about the bad things about both parties -the PSL’s use of google forms -seeing the comment about how the upper leadership in the FRSO are a bunch of feds. -and the $20 annual fee in the FRSO.
yeah, the intrusive thoughts are messing with me very hard.
due to both not having an
an?
bad things about both parties
there are plenty of malicious claims about communist parties; try to determine whether these are real issues (e.g. if they’re reformist, if they ignore settler colonialism and/or imperialism, if they denounce AES countries, etc.)
PSL’s use of google forms
you can talk to one of the PSL members here about this
I made a typo on the “due to both not having an”. I meant to say neither party are active in my city
OP, you said:
seeing the comment about how the upper leadership in the FRSO are a bunch of feds
Source?
That’s hear-say. I’d caution parroting claims like this without evidence. That’s what the feds would want, tarnishing and pitting revolutionaries against one another. I asked that person for their source or evidence.
PSL had an annual fee of one paycheck per year last time I talked with them. Is that different now?
It’s based on income, and how much you can give. If you’re a low income worker, student, or are generally struggling, they can waive the fee. They’re responsive to the base’s needs, and also won’t hound you or kick you out if you’re having trouble paying.
That seems like a lot
If now is not the time, develop your skills and build networks yourself. And integrate with the right body at the right time. There is always work we can do.
PSL. Listen to the socialist program. Brian Becker founding dude and legit AF
Maybe there’s an alternative to the google forms; ask them directly.
You’ll always hear bad things about different parties. I think PSL is great, and they’re growing all the time.
