Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I don't want to be affiliated with my uni's IMT/Socialist Appeal club because I've heard they can be revisionist, and most, if not all of the UK "socialist" parties are v. transphobic. I also don't know what I can do/will be allowed to do as an international student, but just wanted to ask if there are any places where organizing will be possible. Thanku!

Idk, but you could try to join your local environmental or queer activist group and radicalize them.

Maybe the YCL if you're in the right age range.

Here was my breakdown when I was looking for myself:

  • CPGB: the original "Tankie"; they dissolved and it looks like they're going nowhere at the moment. They were considered reformists by some members before those members form the CPB.
  • CPB: Perhaps considered the official communist party. But they are TERFs. Mind that the YCL is their youth wing. I don't know how independent they are.
  • Socialist Appeal: Trotskyites, left communists, ultras, whatever you call it.

The rest aren't ML, or heavily revisionist. Most of these things are just book-club type orgs.
