All my local PSL does is go to protests and post gofundmes.

Seems a lot like the type of lackluster activism you accused me of

Sure the parent organization has a better message, but they seem generally ineffective. But I guess that's what the system is designed to do. No real change can occur without revolt. And that will be suppressed with extreme violence.

PSL does work behind the scenes with respect to labor organizing and whatnot, plus what they can actually do is impacted by how many members they have. If you feel they aren't doing much, you can ask them directly why that is or if there's more they are doing you don't know about.

You do make a good point. They could have more going on and maybe just have a weaker advertisement of it. I'll look deeper into my local chapter

Good! There are also likely other orgs you can check out in your area if PSL isn't a good fit.
