They have seen a meteoric rise in recent years. Their sister/front organisations like ANSWER, Codepink, People’s Forum, BTnews have all become household names. When I look at protests in the U.S., it seems so many of them are organised directly, or indirectly, by them. In comparison, organisations like the CPUSA or the DSA are lacking behind.

How and why?

    I’d love to see some evidence of PSL chapters supporting a union drive, or pressuring a local government to pass some policy, or some sponsoring some mutual aid effort, or any sort of direct action.

    This is all stuff that obviously happens, even materially probably, whether they succeed is a different question

      Maybe branches are just as subject to regional differences as the DSA. All I see from the local branch is tailism, but I’m not plugged into literally every movement in the city.
