What's the consensus on PSL? (The Party for Socialism and Liberation) (lemmygrad.ml)

Before discovering this community, I was in a different community that proudly calls itself leftist. I posted a documentary; Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang which was very eye-opening for me.

Anyway, posting that started to really upset people, saying that the documentary is PSL propaganda. That PSL is authoritarian, backed by a Chinese Maoist billionaire and that PSL is riddled with sex abuse scandals. That of course PSL would simp for DPRK because it's authoritarian. I was even called a holocaust denier for defending DPRK.

So is PSL bad? Where can I find better information on this? I've already tried looking into PSL and it all seems okay? The sex abuse scandals I am not sure about, is there more information on this? Am I being too critical on this?

I did not get the impression people were putting PSL on a pedestal in this thread, but maybe it comes across that way just from the hope of the US having any notable organization that is not shit on imperialism/AES/colonization. I guess the way I see it, the consequences of the Red Scare and the downfall of the Black Panther Party put the bar pretty low for not being shit.

Oh there are some people in this thread who even take the SRA quite seriously. Don't worry about that right now though!
