I've wanted to join PSL for a while but I'm currently engaged in some unorthodox labor organizing work that I'm very committed to following through with (we're operating along more or less the same lines as the Southern Workers Assembly if you're familiar with that).
Do you think I would be able to conduct this work relatively independently from the party? Would I be expected to try and direct it into a more orthodox line?
I can't speak to how the party would handle a specific case. Your best move is to reach out and discuss upfront (as much as you feel comfortable) what you're working on and how you think it might fit or not with Party work.
No, I can say as a member of the party that you would not be micromanaged in some way where someone would force your hand in regards to any organizing. In fact, you already being an organizer and community leader by having the strength to put something like this together would be very impressive, and they'd likely just seek to help and get in dialogue w you and other organizers.
