What party are you a member of

[craigd89]

What party are you a member of?

[Broletariat]

The party of Broletariat, unfortunately, we're on our fourth split and the membership has hit an all time low.

[AnonymousOne]

US Pirate Party member. However I am a registered Republican, so I can troll their primaries.

[electro_fan]

lol i think your poll is quite flawed, why would anyone be in the republicans, or the american libertarian party, they're a bunch of far right nutters? unless there's some very strange "entryism" going on lol

i'm SP (UK) btw

[gendoikari]

National Organizing comitte people, only way we're going to get shit done.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

Union for the Recolonization of the Americas aka the "we're sorry Queeny, we'll be good now," party.

[The Douche]

I'm not in a party, but I am in a hella sick communist street gang.

[genstrike]

I'm a member of the Communist Party of genstrike. It may be small, but our internal debates are very lively

[Obs]

The best damn communist party Denmark ever had (and christfuck have we had a lot).

[gendoikari]

we really do need to unite all socialists under a single party so that we have poltical clout. Sure we disagree but the republicans disagree with other republicans all the time, and same with the democrats. at least we'd be looking out for the people.

[Bardo]

I support and occasionally vote for local SPUSA candidates, but I've registered with other parties like PSL, CPUSA, and the Greens (:lol: ).

[Reznov]

I love how the first posts are joke replies, just shows the current situation in the U.S. :laugh:

[Raubleaux]

Wow @ the joke replies. I guess this is all just a game for you guys.

I'm in PLP cause it's the only party around where I am. I like PSL.

[Mac]

I'm not old enough to vote, but spusa seems pretty good (although they're not far enough left for me). I would say green, but I don't know enough about them.

[TheGeekySocialist]

none, was in the SWP, but I moved to the Left, im now a Libertarian Socialist, I no longer belive in vanguardism or in top down democratic centralism. (UK btw)

[The Douche]

I'm not old enough to vote, but spusa seems pretty good (although they're not far enough left for me). I would say green, but I don't know enough about them.

The greens are to the right of the SP.

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

Wow @ the joke replies. I guess this is all just a game for you guys.

Not really however the majority of the parties listed in the poll are kind of ridiculous given the forum we are on aside from the RCP; the RCP is probably the only party in the poll that I would join or maybe the PSL. For a serious answer, I am not currently affiliated with any party, in the market, as it were.

[Rusty Shackleford]

I'm not old enough to vote, but spusa seems pretty good (although they're not far enough left for me). I would say green, but I don't know enough about them.
no need to be old enough to vote. most parties have youth wings in which you can still do work.


and since you are learning heres some basic info on parties.

socialist and communist parties are not just electoral(and really only a little effort goes into electoral politics, its not their main focus for most of them) ones but organizations of the working class. parties are supposed to do work in other areas like strike actions, demonstrations, mobilizations, and shit like that. ultimately, to make revolution. which, you cant really vote in a revolution. the bourgeoisie wouldnt allow that :lol:

[Agent Equality]

Parties are for chumps :D

[Red Future]

Sympathizer of the APL but not in any party at current.

[Mark V.]

Registered independent, as I am reluctant to dive into the murky world of far-left party politics. To be honest most of my extremely limited experiences with far-left parties have been negative.

[Crux]

Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna. We're not all USAians, you know.

[ev]

I chose republican.
Really though, who cares? A party serves only as a platform for careerists, and any other parties are too small to get anything done, I'll have no part in it.

[Teacher]

This thread is a perfect example of the cancer of individualism that is continually killing and stunting the left.

Your popmpous self-righteousness is lulzworthy. I am tempted to ask "how do you mean", but I am afraid your answer will just be more of the same. So, yeah, how so?

[Bandito]

I smell a cop.

[electro_fan]

huh? its interesting to see what parties people are in and how they came to have such a view, i would have thought we could all learn from each other that way, nothing individualistic about it at all !

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I'm in a group that throws awesome parties.

[Broletariat]

This thread is a perfect example of the cancer of individualism that is continually killing and stunting the left.
Is this a not-so-subtle sock puppet of The Teacher? >_>

[Le Socialiste]

None. Parties can't lead the proletariat to victory, only the people themselves can. Our role as revolutionary leftists should be that of guiding, focusing, and moving with the movements that arise. No vanguards, no parties, just the working masses joined in common struggle.

im sorry... but that is kind of what a party does.

[SHORAS]

I'm in the house party!

[Zav]

I'm a member of the United States Pirate Party.

[Prairie Fire]

As far as the USA goes, I am with the APL.

[RHIZOMES]

I'm not an American, and i'm not a member of any party.

I'm a member of a political quasi-collective on my campus, but that's as far as it goes at the moment.

[ZeroNowhere]

I am the Party.

[black magick hustla]

the party of all good gentlemen that die slowly through lung cancer and liver disfunction. i belong tothe night

[craigd89]

Yeah I'm a cop;)..actually I'm just curious as to what leftist parties are anywhere near being serious.

[Philosopher Jay]

I am sad to say that I am not a member of any party at this time. As a wage slave, most of my time is spent making capitalists wealthy. The pain and suffering I endure is only relieved by spending time with my wife and daughter and intellectual activities on the internet.
I hope that will change in the future. I hope to find a party that I may contribute to.

[wunderbar]

Peace and Freedom Party, though I'm not terribly active in it, I do most of my activism through IWW.


Registered independent

Do you mean you're a decline to state voter or registered with the "American Independent Party", which is a far-right party in CA?

[donnakss]

distressed registered democrat, cringe

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I am not sure if it is good or bad that there are more Republicans than PSLers here. I am in Socialist Alternative/CWI.

Liberation for Socialism and Parties sound cool. (LSP) Do they get much done?

[Os Cangaceiros]

The invisible party, the party in the broad historical sense, etc.

[Mark V.]

Peace and Freedom Party, though I'm not terribly active in it, I do most of my activism through IWW.

I checked the "Non-partisan" box, so I doubt that I am registered with that far-right group.

[Kamos]

I voted Republican in order to boycott the USA-centrism of this thread.

[socialist_n_TN]

Other. Workers Power.

[Coggeh]

I'm CWI so would be socialist alternative if i was in the US

[Raubleaux]

Your popmpous self-righteousness is lulzworthy. I am tempted to ask "how do you mean", but I am afraid your answer will just be more of the same. So, yeah, how so?

Someone makes a thread about what political organizations we belong to and the majority of the responses are jokes or sarcasm? It's just sad. Being a leftist is not supposed to be a video game you play sitting at your computer by yourself, but apparently for many people here it is.

[Jimmie Higgins]

Do you mean what electoral party? I don't think there are any radical parties on the US left right now - some group-lets who call themselves parties maybe.

I'm a member of the International Socialist Organization though and hope to help be a part of building a radical left in the US with real connections to and leadership by millions of working class people.


None. Parties can't lead the proletariat to victory, only the people themselves can. Our role as revolutionary leftists should be that of guiding, focusing, and moving with the movements that arise. No vanguards, no parties, just the working masses joined in common struggle.A vanguard in the real sense, not self-proclaimed leaders of the working class in tiny groups, are workers who are actively fighting in struggle to help the whole class replace capitalism with worker's rule of society. The idea of a vanguard party is not to artificially create or proclaim themselves "the vanguard" but merely to try and organize self-consciously radical workers to coordinate our efforts and struggles. There are radicals and parties who say they are the vanguard but unless you are in struggle with tons of workers, then these self-appointed vanguards are really just petty-generals without armies. And "general" is a good metaphor IMO since top-down politics seem to go hand in hand with this view of a vanguard.

In other words if there was an upsurge in struggle and millions of workers taking on the bosses, a lot of us would be part of that "vanguard" irregardless of calling it that or if we organized into a "party" or "syndicalist-union" or nothing at all.

[Aleenik]

No party. I think I prefer anarchist communism. I don't want a dictatorship of the proletariat, which I consider to simply be a dictatorship.

Your entire premise was abusrd, and so you recieved absurd answers.

You wanted to see which leftist parties in the US were "strongest" but you included the republican party, the libertarian party, the green party, and the democratic party. None of which are even left.

Also, you consider membership to somehow be representative of how effective these organizations are? Thats so false, so, so, so false. Many organizations on the left are filled with paper members.

You included no option for anarchists or left-communists, so of course they're going to give you snarky answers.

Lastly, you're coming off like a true pompous asshole. There are people on here who I can garuntee have been far more active for far longer than you, and if we want to make a joke on a damn internet message board, then we will.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I am the Party.
Wait, you're a Trot now?
Boom roasted.

[Madslatter]

Constitution party. They have the best party platfom: "one fascism under god".

But for real, I'm an an anarchist: no party for me!

[Mythbuster]

Proud member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation!

[Rafiq]

I'm in the Tea party.

I love drinking all sorts of Tea, so I figured if they had a party named after my favorite food, there could be nothing reactionary about that...

[LegendZ]

The Tea Baggers Party.


(no really)

[Prairie Fire]

I'm surprised not to see more APL here. I guess few of them post on revleft (anymore), but I know one APL comrade just signed up recently.

[Princess Luna]

I am regestered with the Democratic Party, I only did so because I thought at least were a little better than the republicans, 3 months later I learned my mistake and burned my voter I.D. card.

Yeah I did give an option for anarchists...NONE..I included all the political parties in the US get over it.

[o well this is ok I guess]

Yeah I did give an option for anarchists...NONE..I included all the political parties in the US get over it. Ok there is obviously some confusion here.

Cmoney has referred to you by accident. He is under the impression Raubleaux is the OP, and he is naturally upset with the comments of said individual.
He is not saying you are the one acting like a "pompous asshole".
