Welcome to this lonely club, comrade. The presence of socialists/communists depends a lot on your location, mostly in big urban areas like Madrid or Barcelona. Since their scope is almost always local, you're gonna have to find out by yourself (yeah I'm not being helpful at all here 🫠), through social media (twitter, insta) or IRL, like going to protests. In big cities, I've seen some housing unions, mutual aid, and BDS branches. If you're a student you can maybe look for the student union. Don't expect any revolutionaries. There's also Movimiento Socialista, which are trots iirc. Lastly, with regards to parties, I wouldn't join the PCE. Maybe the PCPE or PCTE, but they're completely irrevelant and I haven't heard a single thing they've done other than going to protests, making statements and having very niche podcast/radio shows.
Communism
Discussion Community for fellow Marxist-Leninists and other Marxists.
Rules for /c/communism
Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.
- No non-marxists
This subreddit is here to facilitate discussion between marxists.
There are other communities aimed at helping along new communists. This community isn't here to convert naysayers to marxism.
If you are a member of the police, armed forces, or any other part of the repressive state apparatus of capitalist nations, you will be banned.
- No oppressive language
Do not attempt to justify your use of oppressive language.
Doing this will almost assuredly result in a ban. Accept the criticism in a principled manner, edit your post or comment accordingly, and move on, learning from your mistake.
We believe that speech, like everything else, has a class character, and that some speech can be oppressive. This is why speech that is patriarchal, white supremacist, cissupremacist, homophobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive is banned.
TERF is not a slur.
- No low quality or off-topic posts
Posts that are low-effort or otherwise irrelevant will be removed.
This is not a place to engage in meta-drama or discuss random reactionaries on lemmy or anywhere else.
This includes memes and circlejerking.
This includes most images, such as random books or memorabilia you found.
We ask that amerikan posters refrain from posting about US bourgeois politics. The rest of the world really doesn’t care that much.
- No basic questions about marxism
Posts asking entry-level questions will be removed.
Questions like “What is Maoism?” or “Why do Stalinists believe what they do?” will be removed, as they are not the focus on this forum.
- No sectarianism
Marxists of all tendencies are welcome here.
Refrain from sectarianism, defined here as unprincipled criticism. Posts trash-talking a certain tendency or marxist figure will be removed. Circlejerking, throwing insults around, and other pettiness is unacceptable.
If criticisms must be made, make them in a principled manner, applying Marxist analysis.
The goal of this subreddit is the accretion of theory and knowledge and the promotion of quality discussion and criticism.

Not technically a student but I guess it's not a bad place to start, thank you! So far I've heard of the organization "Pan y Rosas" (bread and roses), a communist organization with a focus on feminism; and "Izquierda Revolucionaria" (revolutionary left), but they don't seem to be that active sadly, especially the latter, but the Sindicato de Estudiantes seems to be a good place to start with. Yeah, I know about the PCE being basically co-opted at this point, and the PCPE being mostly irrelevant, but they're both political parties and I'm not looking necessarily for an organization that believes change can be attained through progressive reformism (it's kinda anti-revolutionary imo). But your input is very welcome, thank you a lot for your comment! Best of luck!
If there aren't any Marxist organizations in your area, then be the first person to make one. That's how all Marxist groups are made, by people who got tired of there not being and Marxist organizations near them, so they just decided to make one themselves.
Sure, that's not a concern of mine, I just wanna be sure there are things around before I start "reinventing the wheel", precisely one of the problems of the radical left is the fragmentation.
Additionally, not having belonged to any association or organization, I'm absolutely lacking in organizational skills and mechanisms, and it's something important to learn to make a good community.
