I’ve heard from various people that the SRA has a lot of problems, most prominently the lack of leadership from the national organisers, who defer virtually all branch affairs to local organisers, who are often absentees who deprive their membership of the opportunity to organise themselves. Are there any members here who’ve experienced these problems first hand, and if so, what are your thoughts on the organisation as it currently stands?

    Commies need a Communist Rifle Association where people are strictly communists/MLs. Anything short of that, a distraction and largely unproductive. A “CRA” could train on guerrilla tactics, mountaineering/hiking fitness, wilderness, reading, first aid, as well as mutual aid and agitprop.

    • IMO until US communists can find the language and the guts to address the existential problems facing them Im afraid stuff like this can only lead to disaster. The problem is much deeper than the terminology we use to describe ourselves, its our class character.
