Saw RCA tabling on campus today. Technically outside organizations aren't allowed to be at the spot where they were at without authorization.

I feel like they and other compatible left organizations in the imperial core do more harm than good so I'm leaning towards reporting them. What do you think?

Trots seriously aren’t THAT bad. They’re not Nazis, they’re just mislead and annoying. Leave them be, besides if they’re annoying enough, someone else will report them

    Although I don't like Trots usual line, you gain nothing by snitching them to your campus administration. And if you do, it will make things not just worse for them, but also for any other organization in campus. Don't spend your time thinking on how to make life hell for trots and other groups, think about how you advance the movement. If you want to do something productive, find out other students in your uni and create a cell to study ML texts, until you have a big enough team to do other kinds of political work.

    Honestly, I find the sectarian attitude of some comrades to be pretty disgusting. I'm not against using polemics to criticize a political line, but another thing is to sabotage other comrades out of pettiness. If that is your attitude I'll stop calling you comrade, and you will be my enemy instead.

    Although I may not like trots, I think snitching on them to campus administration isn't the correct move, as it just sorta makes you look like a Bootlicker and needlessly sectarian.

    Also, before completely rejecting them as undisciplined or revisionist, I recommend actually speaking with them. You will probably have some ideological disagreements, but if they can be put aside for the sake of organizing then I'd suggest that. It's more likely you'd be able to convince some of them into being Marxist-Leninists if you're organizing together towards a common goal.

    If they're not willing to organize with you due to sectarianism, then you can bring that forward when organizing with other student groups.

    Absolutely not! Unless they become physically violent, or engage in abusive or harassing behavior that threatens you or your comrades' personal safety, there is nothing to be gained from being a snitch against other leftists. Yes, even very hostile and misguided ones.

    Lenin had serious disagreements and even personal enmities with plenty of people and parties that claimed to be Marxist but were really leading people astray, and he engaged in ruthless ideological struggle against them, but he never denounced them to the Tsarist police.

    That is the quickest way to become reviled among the people you are trying to appeal to.
