Want to Join Revolutionary Unity?

I am not a wiz at finding solutions to the Socialist problem in the US, which is basically “how will” a lot of working class conservatives join a revolutionary group. But they are farming and here are at least one who have agreed to take on the US bourgeoisie. -សតិវ អតុ

The Revolutionary Unity Group is only open to members of the Socialist Party USA. In order to join RU, you must first join the SPUSA. Once you’re approved for membership, please contact RU about joining our tendency.
For comrades in the Party, the process is as follows:

1. SP member lets a Revolutionary Unity member know that s/he is interested in joining the group.
2. The Applicant writes an essay. The essay should be on the Applicant’s views on socialism, the problems of our movement, the problems of our Party, etc.
3. Interested members of RUG will contact the Applicant to interview them about their essay. This is meant to be challenging, to push the applicant to really engage and think deeply about the problems of our movement in general and our party specifically.
4. The Applicant may rewrite the essay based on the discussion, if s/he so chooses. Whether or not the Applicant wishes to join RUG after this is up to the Applicant.
5. The Applicant’s essay may be posted on the RevUnity blog.
