And now I'm seeing a bunch of videos of them getting absolutely whooped by the locals. Football hooligans sometimes do good things!

Chatgeepeetee please solve the halting problem for me.
Its a book-length series of articles but it certainly covers that subject here: https://kites-journal.org/2023/03/13/introduction/
Theres an appendix at the end too for further references.
First in the US Small Press Distributor went under (https://lithub.com/the-small-press-world-is-about-to-fall-apart-on-the-collapse-of-small-press-distribution)
And now in the UK United Independent Publishers is dead too. (https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/international/international-book-news/article/95541-marston-on-the-brink-of-administration-ipg-says.html)
Grim outlook for small presses of any kind. Not looking forward to an entirely monopolized publishing industry.
In terms of proper theory/practice I have some bad news and perhaps a suggestion for you. Unfortunately both revisionism and a broad anti-intellectual attituide are hegemonic today. From my experience theory, if it is even studied at all, is done in an ecltic, unfocused manner based purely off of personal interest rather than directed at understanding / strategizing about a particular problem--theory and practice are entirely separated.
PSL kind of indirectly enforces this by overemphasizing capital P Party (actually Procedural really) discipline among its members. With every comcievable task officially delegated, for instance, if there's an event a such-and-such person will be told they are responsible for bringing water, the other fliers, etc. Such explicit, granular control is fitting more of a boot-camp than a Communist Party in the sense that there is no way creative applications, or avant-garde developments can occur in such an environment. Not to mention the problem of dissent & censorship endemic among Trotskyite groups.
I'm being too detailed for what I want to get across in this comment. Although I don't necessarily agree with them 100% the Unity Prospectus by USU covers the lay of the land of the US left quite well:

I guess the advice I have for you is that while you should get involved in whatever is available, you should do so with a critical eye--never lose persoective on the ultimate goal of a Communist revolution; understand the difference between tactics-as-plan and tactics-as-process & don't get lost in the weeds. With that in mind, always strive to criticize incorrect ideas, no matter how unwelcome it may be; claim no false-unity either, divide what can be divided into two sides. Have a sense of separation and think of it as an investigation.
Can confirm it works on Linux
https://thecrusader.news/2024/06/14/the-black-national-question-and-the-black-belt-thesis/ does a good job summarizing it.
This is fundamentaly a liberal conception of the world, that the solution to everything is to just have the right people in charge. The constant regeneration of capitalism is not born out of some individuals conscious will. It is ideological, structural, etc.
Conceptually you've jettisoned the very idea of class struggle, you've interalized defeat to such a degree that revolution is preemptively liquidated, and in its place put forward the same blathe utopianism that has been repudiated for hundreds of years. I will give you things though, you are correct to not tail this or that power, but by no means are you a Communist.
To think that millions of people of this world bled, toiled, and dedicated their lives under the sky of a Communist horizon, in the name of revolution, could be swept away in just a few sentences in an internet comment is not just a horror of its inadequacy to capture the experience of the world proletarian revolutions of the past, but it is pure arrogance!!
IMT renamed itself
The logic of monopoly capital and imperialism as it operates in the global semiconductor business.
Some key takeaways:
"The great contradiction that they face is the fact that for every major chip firm, the Chinese semiconductor industry also constitutes a huge market, often a bigger customer than any other. Hence, Washington and the U.S. chip industry are caught between trying to limit the Chinese industry and maintaining trade relations."
And not surprisingly 
"U.S. strategists have been earnestly arguing for a scorched earth policy in Taiwan, meaning that the United States should seriously consider destroying TSMC plants in case of a credible threat from China, in order to prevent the Chinese from wresting control over production"
