Should I join my local communist party? (lemmy.ml)

I am from Turkey and I was wondering if I should or shouldn't join a communist party here, I'm 99% sure it's fully controlled and I would be logged if I ever actually joined but I don't know

There are two options for me:

  1. TIP (Turkey Worker's Party) is socially forward (pro-lgbtqi) but at the same time pro-west with Trotskyite tendencies, it also has 4 seats and 1.8% representation in parliament
  2. TKP (Turkey Communist Party) is a party in not fully sure about, but they call themselves socialist patriots (basically nationalists) and base themselves off of kemalism (red flags everywhere) and they're less prevalent and not pro-lgbt, though they support anti-imperialism (in the way Lenin has explained the term)

They lack a page in ProleWiki and I need to do more homework on it, but I thought it would be nice to have a second opinion on it because I can be very very dumb

I'm open to hearing more and especially from my Turkish comrades that can help me out further

My party PSL has a really good, close relationships with the TKP and speak highly of it, but I can't provide any specific info on it other than that.
