    If the MLs tried to form their own group it’d just be another random book club communist party of 20 nebbish weirdos who get fucked with by the FBI constantly till some LaRouche-esk dude takes over.

      maybe, but the alternative suggests that paying dues to a liberal anticommunist org protects them from federal attention. as an organization dedicated to collectively advancing proletarian class politics, ineffectiveness is the only surefire protection from federal attention.

        I mean I think that’s the basic idea, by squatting in a liberal group the Feds don’t pay them as much attention and they can do organizing in the background. Idk how effective it is though.

        I mean really there can’t be a communist movement in the imperial core so all this is moot.
