NYC Anarchist/Marxist organisations?

Submitted by Paulappaul on October 11, 2015

Been moving around the states alot for the past few years, finally settling down in Brooklyn for a while and was wondering if there is any good folks/groups/organizations doing work in the area I could help with. In times past that I've been here the movement has seemed pretty bleak and unorganized from what I'm used to on the West Coast but maybe I'm just missing the picture.

Anyways looking for something to join in the broad range of left communism - anarchism of all types but also down with politically neutral solidarity networks, food not bombs and such. Hell could even sit in on a reading group.

Feel free to PM as well

I know some folks in NYC are down to start an rg in accord with points of unity of the Communist League of Tampa. Check on Facebook to maybe get connected with them. Out site is communistleaguetampa.org

Excerpt from POU:

We are internationalists. We oppose all forms of imperialism and refuse to side with our own nation-states in worldwide conflicts. In situations of imperialist war the only sensible position to take is revolutionary defeatism: to pursue transforming imperialist war into a revolutionary civil war against world capitalism. We also reject all forms of nationalism as an obstacle to revolution and reject political alliances with nationalists of all stripes. It is unprincipled to maintain anything other than strict organizational independence in relation to those who uphold the nation-state as a positive political force, whether it be those espousing patriotism for our own countries or “national self-determination” for oppressed groups. This includes rejecting “socialism in one country” or any other national road to socialism. Communist revolution must be international in scope or nothing. In logical continuity with our internationalist principles is also our conviction in the importance of upholding a pro-immigrant stance. This means support for the abolition of borders and maintaining an uncompromising position against all forms of xenophobia and national chauvinism. Anything less would mean departure from the basic ethic of working class solidarity.

I emailed and messaged on fb the black rose federation (very interested in getting involved !)

Pennoid can you send me the link to the communist league Facebook page ? Would definitely be into talking to these folks at least.

Thanks !

Internationalism (ICC USA) is indeed gone. Like Pennoid said, some of us are really making an effort towards a national org right now.
