Sup fellas.
I’m a Spanish guy who, for the past decade, has been getting increasingly radicalized. I’ve been mostly so far interested in reading because I wanted to have a solid theoretical background and learn more about the Ws and Ls of communism, from a theoretical and a historical perspective, and while I’m still very much into reading socialist literature, I want to take the step to organizing and activism locally. I was just wondering if anyone here has any resources for any Communist/Socialist/Marxist organisation in Spain or with presence in multiple western-european countries that anyone can recommend me to contact.
Thanks a bunch!
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.
