Is joining a party in the USA pointless since none of them are a vanguard party and they all have revisionist and or opportunistic tendencies? (lemmygrad.ml)

spending time in a party that does nothing of value will only waste your own time

Of course. I assumed we were talking about a real party that does real work, not some do-nothing larp and debate group. The question that was originally asked was whether it's worth joining a communist party in the US, and my impression is that there are at least one or two out there that are not completely useless.

Yeah, just wanted to throw that out there that joining an org, any org, isn't always a good use of time. Though for a charismatic or knowledgeable enough individual, they could probably turn a LARPing group around into a decent org. Unfortunately I am not that person.
