For whatever it means for you comrades, my former branch is absolutely falling apart. Leadership has had to be constantly engaged with comrades 1:1 to get them to stay or to not leave for other projects or lifeboat groups who're trying to keep party members; and it means a ton of people who wanted to do other things are just burning out like flies. My local branch has, I think, tipped right overboard into some extremely inexcusable tactics and behavior; and my disappointment is immeasurable.

I understand I'm posting about this a lot, so, Mods or Admins feel free to tell me to stop, I just want this to be on people's radars so bad. This hasn't really hit the mainstream "left" yet, I haven't seen people even locally who've taken an anti-party stance for a long time (correct or not) talking about this.

I was surprised to see you post these articles because last time I was in a PSL struggle session I remember you being very committed to the org. (To be clear the struggle sesh had nothing to do with SA, I forget what it was but it was pretty benign) I'm so sorry you've had to deal with such shitty treatment too cuddle

    Thanks comrade, I don't know what it was but yeah, I was putting my everything into it. I was always told that starting a branch was the hardest thing one could do and I took a lot of pride in all the work I did and the groundwork I'd laid hoping it would blossom into something truly wonderful; but now I'm just seeing that be completely squandered by a distant self-interested leadership and a local incompetent one.
