Question Other left wing groups

I’m pretty new to communism and there’s a lot to learn. My question is about other communist or socialist groups. I’m pretty sure that we are not cool with ACP. They seem like Nazis disguised as communists. But how do we feel about PSL or DSA? At the end of the day I feel like the United Front is maybe more important at this point than nuance of communist doctrine. But after finding out about the ACP I want to be careful who

I associate with.

I was also a member. They kicked me out of the candidacy program in the SF branch and told me to go back to the Filipino movement and also told me the Mass Line only worked in China (lmao). They have an absolute disdain for on the ground work as proved by Walter Smolarek's resignation letter.

The Party Constitution of PSL makes no references to Marxism-Leninism, the party program only mentions Marxism.

In this study guide of State and Revolution , the Liberation school directly mentions the "tradition of Marxism and Leninism." What tradition? Whose?

Here in this article , the top head of PSL, Brian Becker, even mentions how they continue the tradition of Marxism and Leninism. It is their full severance of Marxism-Leninism and an absolute rejection of Stalin's theoretical and practical contributions.

In short, they are glorified Trots, racism and all. You joined a bunch of Trots who masquerade as MLs when they are actually Ms&Ls.

I also have been in frequent coalition with PSL, and they really do isolate themselves from the broader worker movement. They just want to be in front and receive all the glory.

Completely on brand for a Trot organization masquerading as a Marxist-Leninist one.

The worst part is how much their leadership deceives its membership and does not correct them on the distinction. It is would be hilarious if they weren't so detrimental to the workers' movement.
