I feel there is no viable option, but I have seen people around me gaining interest in the PSL. I haven’t looked too deeply into them, but I know they’re one of the more visible socialist parties in the U.S. I want to understand their platform, their approach to organizing, and how they differ from other leftist groups.

What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? Are they genuinely building a movement, or are they more of a sectarian group? I’d love to hear from people who have experience with them, whether as members or as outsiders observing their work.

They’re almost perfect but I seem to remember reading something about them supporting the Chinese government to the extent of denying the events of the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened, so big red flag for me there.

Honestly though their position on domestic issues I support pretty much completely, and am not an expert on their platform. I just have no idea why they’d take that stance, and would love for someone to correct me if I’m wrong.
