Ok she seems awesome, and I've heard the PSL endorsed by at least a few Marxists I trust, but what do yall think about them and their platform? Any weird gotchas in there or history of grossness from her or the organization?

~~They're trots so don't ask em about AES but~~ if they're on your ballot it's a virtual guarantee they're your best option.

PSL are not trots. PSL supports Cuba, Vietnam, China and the historical USSR.
PSL did branch from a trot organization, which might be why you think this. This is because most surviving leftist organizations in America post WW2 redscare were trot organizations.

Links to some random PSL publication articles to prove my point. https://www.liberationschool.org/category/china-2/

Ah thanks for that. I knew they descended from a trot org and a member I know had a pretty disgusting pro-NATO stance on something so I just assumed.

If a member of PSL was pro-NATO they are contradicting a fundamental, non-negotiable part of the party line and should be spoken to by local leadership

ah now I remember! they were both-sidesing balkanization, placing an emphasis on the bosnian genocide

PSL are Marcyites, who are Trots that accidentally stumbled into being MLs.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

That's historically accurate but doesn't in any way describe the politics or operation of the party today. We are straight up MLs who have very intentionally shed that trot shit a long time ago.
