I've been reading a bit about it, I know there had been a lot of schisms between the republican factions and more aid sent to the Nationalists by the Axis, but didn't the Republicans control a majority of the Navy, had aid provided by the Soviets & held the industrial regions like Catalonia?

I feel this could cover a question people in other countries pose:

I've seen people keep telling others to organize, join local parties, but how do you organize if there is little activity or any real movement in the groups in your country?

(it was hard to even find information on these groups)

The main non-electoral groups are either pretty bureaucratic, inactive and suffered several splits, almost entirely inactive, have under 100 members and largely just sell newspapers, or are mainly an activist / protest group.

Electorally, the largest group is a coalition of 4 demsoc / socialist parties who rarely poll above 3%.

Is there any advise on how to organize in countries like this?

I've been trying to read up on why the Stagnation happened compared to the large industrialization of the earlier periods, but a lot of people just say "it's because planned economies don't work" or that they should've instituted market reforms akin to Gorbachev but more slowly

I've seen fingers being pointed at Khruschev, Brezhnev etc. but was there any underlying reason besides just one man?

How do you cope with feelings that it won't get better?

one of PSL's leadership spoke about how the party is focusing more on spying on their members than anything else

Stalin's mainstream legacy is not a good one to say the least, but considering he is the average persons' first thought when they hear of communism or socialism, how are communist groups meant to confront his legacy while trying to gather support?

Following a series of surprising defeats against the ARVN, an offensive campaign which the North Vietnamese thought would take over a year to enter its second phase, was completed within 4 months as the ARVN was decimated and PAVN tanks rolled into Saigon.
