I’m an international student at a US university and was wondering what I can do to advance the Marxist-Leninist cause here?

I was thinking about creating a communist youth league on campus or something of the sort? Maybe an anti-fascist action? Any other ideas?

Is it possible for me to join any nation-wide socialist/communist organization?

    I would start by not getting dragged into discussions about Russia and Ukraine.

    Start a communist club if there isn’t one already, host weekly meetings and advertise at the club promotions. You’ll be building a brand and reputation, so put lots of effort in at the start, and likeminded individuals will join along.

      On the other hand, not having thorny discussions in the beginning is how groups splinter into a myriad pieces in a year or two.

    If your college has a good org, even it it’s a DSA chapter, join that. If your college doesn’t have a leftist org, start one or (even better) join a local org in the community your college is located it. The best thing you can do is contribute to building mutual aid networks, or really any project that uplifts working people. And whatever you do, and I’m sorry if this comes of rude, do not do or say anything extremely online. Don’t argue with people on Ukraine or Russia, the legacy of Stalin or the USSR, etc. Those are conversations best had 1-on-1 with people who you’ve already gauged as likely to be receptive. Also just have fun, university is a great time.
