Can someone please give me the TL;DR for PSL? Are they a cult like the Avakian people?
They are a socialist party trying to bring about socialism in the USA.
Any idea what their stance is on the russia/ukraine war?
It appears they don't exactly condone Russia, but blame NATO for it. Kinda disappointing. I think they're the 2nd largest socialist org in the US.
To be clear, the stance of Marxists in general is that if NATO didn't exist, the conditions for the war would not exist either. You likely aren't going to find many Marxist-aligned orgs that are pro-NATO.
Ah, yeah that seems logical, the link is tankie.tube after all ...
Such a shame, them sucking up to a dictator, how is it that it always ends up like that?
PSL is taking the standard Marxist stance on NATO, in that it is a millitary alliance of Imperialists that puts pressure on enemies of its members to intimidate into concessions. It isn't about appealing to Putin, there's nothing to gain from that.
PSL are Marxist-Leninists. AFAIK, they are legit, but I'm more of an anarchist.
If we want to be annoyingly accurate, they are technically Marcyist, but overall are pretty much ML.
