Around May Day, Alliance Marxist-Leninist (www.allianceml.com) set up group pages on Facebook and MySpace, two popular online social networking sites. The MySpace site is available to anyone at groups.myspace.com/allianceml, and the Facebook site is only available to registered users of www.facebook.com. The sites still need pictures (any suggestions?), etc., but they are basically done. The Facebook group already has some members, which was quicker than I expected and shows how well that site can bring people together.
Facebook has some liabilities as an organizing tool, but there are a lot of political groups there, and many communist groups, unfortunately I think mostly revisionist. I'm not sure how things stand on MySpace, but Alliance isn't the first red group there either.
The Triangle Socialist Forum is also on Facebook, but that page is pretty bare right now.

Wow, I didn't realize you were pro-Stalin ... didn't he kind of kill way too many people to be a hero?
How about finding some nicer people to embody your hopes?
