Yea we get it, they have good opinions and what not

But is constantly just barging into government buildings and offices with 1-5 people and screaming at politicians doing anything?

Also does anybody know what they spend their money on? They're by far the most well funded org, to the tune of millions, because the co-founder's husband sold his tech company for 1 billion dollars but from the little I know about them, they don't seem to use much money

I don't really see them doing much education either, unlike PSL which also mostly does protests but also a lot of educational events

I haven't heard much about them in reality and I can't answer any of your questions but just looking at their website it looks like a fantastic template of what Communists should be doing. A great example of organising, presented coherently for a modern audience.

Sure they have more of a critical mass to engage with but we're growing too and I think this is a great example to follow.
