Honestly whatever you choose, any org in the US is going to be hamstrung by the fact that the US is an imperial power. Wins are incredibly hard to come by and that lack of forward momentum can lead to burnout and all kinds of insular tendencies.
That said, if you are clear eyed about those limitations I think the best org to develop your skills as an organizer would be DSA. It’s not demcent so there is room to advance ML politics.
Also one of DSA’s national cochairs is actually in an ML caucus called Red Star. They put out a piece recently about why communist should join DSA which I think is fairly convincing.
