They have seen a meteoric rise in recent years. Their sister/front organisations like ANSWER, Codepink, People’s Forum, BTnews have all become household names. When I look at protests in the U.S., it seems so many of them are organised directly, or indirectly, by them. In comparison, organisations like the CPUSA or the DSA are lacking behind.

How and why?

    Are they that big? I’m not sure if they’re household names yet, are they? I hear about them on spaces like this, but not in wider, more liberal spaces yet (like Reddit, YouTube, mainstream media).

    EDIT: But accepting the premise of the post, I bet it’s democratic centralism. I think it’s one marked difference between them and DSA, which is bigger but as I understand it each chapter is a lot more independent.
