Yeah I get what you mean, where I live you only have a racist electoral "communist" party, and a bunch of trots orgs, so I totally get why MLs aren't the ones getting things done. But I also think that right now, being a principled ML puts you at odd with everything, so there's no room for a decent ML party.

Imo the west will burn to ashes before meeting the conditions for a revolution so I guess anarchists are doing the job by burning stuff ^/s^

    Being a principled ML in the USA also gets you on a watchlist and raided by cops if you're amassing enough power to do something. I don't think anarchist orgs have had the same level of state scrutiny, but I don't mean to say anarchists have had it easy. I work with a mostly anarchist org (Food not Bombs) and we get citations from cops nearly every week.
