Frso also has a similar goal. My understanding of these parties, PSL has a Trotskyist origin and it continues to struggle against that, where FRSO was found by Maoists.
~~I am likely to join which ever org is closest to me.~~
Edit:
FRSO Has some chauvinistic tendencies regarding indigenous people and land back in the United States. See the comment chain below.
Really, it seems like PSL might be the best communist org to join after some cursory research.
Hard to tell without spending a lot of time reading the party material
While it's true PSL was founded by former members of a Marcyite Trostkyist party, nothing about how the party operates or what its line is has ever really been Trotskyist in any meaningful way. We have neither the tactical/strategic/structural orientation of Trots nor the geopolitical/historical/anti-imperialist political analysis of Trots.
I appreciate the updated info, Comrade, and I will keep this in mind as I talk about these orgs in the future
FRSO basically doesn't exist in comparison to size of PSL.
They also hold a strong western chauvinist line about colonialism and the national sovereignty of Indigenous people in North America.
which is especially wild given their center of operations is in Minneapolis, one of the most native urban areas in the country
they HUH
Can you substantiate this?

Holy crap, this is worse than I thought. They literally ignore years and years of indigenous history.
It reads like a high schooler trying to excuse settler colonialism in the United States as "Ancient history"
Thank you for highlighting this. I did not know about this with the FRSO.
Here's a thread from when article first came out : https://hexbear.net/post/4043628
Wow, I did not know that. I will definitely keep that in mind as I'm looking at membership for these orgs in the future.
Yes if there's literally no other options I would look into starting something local or starting a chapter of something like PSL
