Can anyone give me the lowdown on these folks? I like that they're a Marxist-Leninist org, in theory.

What's their vibe, what's the leadership like, local chapters etc.

I think someone told me that they were Marcyites specifically? Not very well versed on Trot tendencies or how true that is

By the wiki summary it’s correct, but I’d bet less than 25% of current membership knows who the hell Sam Marcy was

That sounds right. And I remember hearing some dispute around Marcy's tendancy/politics/legacy? I'm kind of halfway remembering all this second hand though. I've never lived where they're active so never dug into them too much.
