I used to meet with my local branch. They are a lovely bunch of comrades. Their newspaper is pretty decent. As far as being a party though… idk. I had a scheduling conflict with their candidacy class, so they wanted to just shortcut me into full membership without any real vetting. I was also repeatedly asked if I could leave the country for overseas events, with like no notice.

Every member I have met is a cool communist, but as an organization I found them really lacking.
