I’ve seen it online and they’re Trotskyist. Are they revolutionary as they claimed or tailist?

      It really depends on what’s available around you, and what type of organizing you are looking to do. “International” does sound cool, but a lot of those, especially if you live in the imperial core, would be just maoists third-worldists roleplaying and doing self-flagellation about how the only revolutionaries are in the Global South. If you want to find a community of like-minded progressive people, I’d recommend you look into what’s available locally. Go and try volunteering anywhere - soup kitchens, homeless/animal shelters, mutual aid groups, ecological activists, refugee support orgs, etc. I guarantee that you will find some people who are pretty far on the left, and they could probably link you up with more politically oriented orgs in the area if that’s your specific interest. But going out and doing any meaningful work in your community already beats most of the hammer-and-sickle reading groups.
