They seem to be the only leftist org in my area that actually does much of anything, but they’ve come under fire for weird vague allegations, so idk.

My current party is being really really nice and understanding about the fact that I have missed every single candidate class and most meetings because of my work schedule.

Honestly, it's a turn-off. Feels disorganized. I consider myself a pretty principled communist but they have no way to hold me to a party line and I feel the calling to find a group that will.

But I'm sure there's reasons why everyone needs their different party. Maybe the American Party of Labor guys have some doctrinal differences about AES, and PSL seems to have a monopoly on the electoralism thing. Worker's World Party does a newspaper with neat comics, and shows up at events. CPUSA and PCUSA accuse each other of being liberals and patsocs... and then we have the local orgs that are trying to do something new altogether... but man I would love to have just one real good principled Communist Party that we could all roll with. It's frustrating.
