Please ask me questions, or maybe even @Alaskaball about the party. I will answer to the best of my ability, or will refer to the party for question I do not. We need to build the base of cadre who will help lead the proletariat. It took the Bolsheviks years to develop, and we must start doing the same if there is any hope for the oppressed peoples of the world.
Passion for our Ideology, and compassion for our comrades!
We are an explicit Marxist-Leninist party. We also do not shy away from comrade Stalin or the USSR. PSL for example is what we would consider very Trotskyist. Anti-revolutionary and do not uphold communism even in wording, as it “drives away the youth.”
From my understanding, APL is a dogmatic ultra-Left party that’s more inwardly focused than outwardly focused. I’d have to ask a member of our east coast branch that was a part of it for more details but I remember them joking about how it’s like 8 people circlejerking about ideological purity.
I mean our PSL chapter is pretty openly M/L. But we also try not to be sectarian because at this point in the revolution fighting about the (relatively) smaller differences in organizing strategy is counterproductive. We can figure it out once the capitalists are in minecraft
We practice Democratic centralism. While chapters or districts may be doing their own local organizing, we are disciplined and follow the Party line. There is no factionalism. We will and have allied ourselves with other mass organizations, but the Party is explicit in its ML and revolutionary in its theory. As another comrade mention in this post, our main goal right now is party building and education to make knowledgeable and disciplined cadre.
