Prefix this with: not that this matters at all. There have been a number of recent instances of democrats moving to the Republican Party. From a procedural POV is there anything stopping a democrat from switching to the Green Party, PSL, or the like?

    Looks good so far based on that. I know the US has historically persecuted socialist groups with any level of success and their members to insane degrees: Does PSL have any countermeasures for that?

    I know there’s a degree of secrecy employed (like not releasing membership numbers) which is wise given historical precedent, but to anyone curious about joining such a group but also strongly aware of Amerikkka’s past and cautious for the safety of themselves and others around them how can historical pitfalls be avoided?

      A thorough membership vetting process and democratic centralism. We study the history of COINTELPRO and other forms of state disruption so we can recognize the signs of infiltrators and act against them. Strong internal discipline.
