In other words, a socialist organization aimed specifically at the American diaspora. Perhaps as an overseas wing of a pre-existing communist party in the USA, or perhaps as its own wholly separate party/organization maintaining good ties with the better stateside socialist organizations.
The purpose of such an organization would be to provide analysis and address issues affecting the American diaspora in particular, to agitate for socialist ideas and against the two-party system in the American diaspora, to provide visibility for overseas Americans fighting against imperialism and colonialism, and to explore how overseas Americans can better utilize their status to this end. Things like this, at least. I think it could maybe be a nice thing, could be a little niche to fill.
But anyways, yeah, you were saying that a leftist organization specifically for Americans living outside of the USA, would be good for building an American left in general? I don’t disagree, necessarily, I would just like to confirm that that was what you meant and that there was no miscommunication.
yes. i feel that american leftists have a mostly warped understanding of leftist ideals/theory because of the american indoctrination that we have to unlearn to understand those ideals is a self-paced & unguided effort with very effective detraction from the majority; i think that an organization of americans who are closer to realizing those ideals because they’re in friendlier environments can serve as a support anchor to help keep the leftists group from going down the unproductive paths that i experienced in the few collectivists groups that i joined in my past.
(this entirely anecdotal btw and, as i said before, lemmy has taught me that i’m barely getting started in my understanding despite being in this sphere of influence for almost five decades)
Yeah, this is part of my thinking, too.
