I've been reading theory, grinding my ML points, lenin-shining and now I want to Get Organized and Serve the People. landlord-sus

I know this is largely a regional choice, but among the major Marxist-Leninist orgs, which are doing the best work, in your opinion? Not asking anyone to dox what org they are in!

I've seen FRSO and PSL , but wanted to know people's general opinions on them, or other orgs I should check out. I have a firm belief that proper theory and practice leads to better results, so it's important that theory and practice are both good. Additionally, the international struggle must be paramount, since this is amerikkka

I'm also a former DSA member. Like I was a member longer than our chapter here existed. I was at large and when they formed a founding member contacted me. We were active during the pandemic but outside of a few protests and marches, we didn't seem to really have any real direction. With that said, I'm completely washing my hands of the DSA after reading their commentary on reddit about them largely backing Harris as a "lesser of two evils" candidate. Kind of gave me the ick. They have the Marxist Unity Group that I was trying to get involved in but ended up not due to time constraints. I think they do mean well but I can also see them eventually fragmenting from the party.

If/when I can, I am probably gonna join the PSL because ,of all the parties I've looked into(DSA, CPUSA, PSL), they seem the most promising in our political environment in the States. Claudia de la Cruz is the first candidate since I've been involved politically that seems legitimately sincere. I'm writing her in as my vote in Texas where even voting for the Dem doesn't even matter here, let alone voting third party. I'm so down for what she is running for that I'm willing to go stand in line and "throw my vote away" just so she gets one extra vote in Texas.
