Yeah, I'm not a member of my country's communist party (bc I'm lazy and I've only listened to like a half dozen communist audiobooks) but I am in that "sympathizer" territory

    And that's perfectly fine and normal. We need as many sympathizers as we can get. You play a very important role.

    I don't think I can be a member of mine because of socially reactionary tendencies.

    It's up to you where you draw your red line. I would usually say that an imperfect communist party is still better than no party. And things can always improve over time, maybe with the help of progressive minded people like yourself slowly pushing them in that direction.

    But obviously everyone has a limit to how much they can tolerate, and if the things that the other party members do or say make it really impossible for you to be around them, then that party is not for you.

    Some people will be organized members of the party. But even if you are not formally organized, if already follow what your local party is doing and join them in events or demonstrations, you are indirectly organized.
