@angxlthenerd @l_melo_h Thank you for your inquiry.
PSL is a cult.
Here are a few examples below.
When a member from the PSL Los Angeles branch quit and went public with criticisms in 2010 he was called crazy and a cop. I heard this myself from multiple leading PSL members.
"I have become deeply disturbed by the crystallization of trends which I previously hoped were marks of the organization's *newness*."
PSL split from WWP in 2004 (22 yrs ago). WWP has been around since 1959 (67). It had split from SWP, which was founded in 1938 (88).
"newness"
He was also one of the key PSL members in nearly driving a whistleblower to suicide.

If redemption is a goal, there is a LOT of work needed.
PSL members mobilized a brigade in the Philly PSL chapter to mass create twitter accounts and like tweets that cover up sexual assault and harassment of a former member
Walter Smolarek PSL resignation letter. He was a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation for a very long time, including when I was a member and I quit a long time ago, in late 2012.

Something else I bizarrely appreciate about my scooter accident - when I was in the hospital I heard that little jingle signifying a baby was born. I appreciated knowing life goes on.
After calling off work sick for a couple days and on my first day back, my boss joked with a coworker who sits next to me to keep an eye on me and then he joked back that he'll be on standby to administer CPR.
It did make me smile. It reminded me of when I did CPR on myself...
