In other words, a socialist organization aimed specifically at the American diaspora. Perhaps as an overseas wing of a pre-existing communist party in the USA, or perhaps as its own wholly separate party/organization maintaining good ties with the better stateside socialist organizations.
The purpose of such an organization would be to provide analysis and address issues affecting the American diaspora in particular, to agitate for socialist ideas and against the two-party system in the American diaspora, to provide visibility for overseas Americans fighting against imperialism and colonialism, and to explore how overseas Americans can better utilize their status to this end. Things like this, at least. I think it could maybe be a nice thing, could be a little niche to fill.
i’m skeptical too because of my own efforts in the past in joining to leftist-collectivist groups; i learned that some are SIGNIFICANTLY better than others and the good ones tend to go bad eventually like you’ve described.
it goes back to my previous comment that leftists of all stripes (excluding liberals) are rare in this country; the indoctrination we get as americans helps ensure that we become liberal instead of any other sort of leftist (if not moderate or conservative). it takes effort to educate yourself on reality and to overcome the programming that you’ve been spoon fed since birth and both guarantee that an overwhelming majority of americans will never bother. add to that the money and efforts by our government to neuter leftist organizational strength and you end up with a country where an active-genocide-enabler gets more votes than all of the people who want to end a genocide, combined.
Exactly, exactly, well said. This is really a problem in a lot of countries, but it’s maybe most pronounced in the USA.
this jives with my experience as well; the latin american groups that i encountered all seemed to have the same hallmarks of the good leftists groups that i joined
