Yeah I think entryism is a good strategy when you are doing activism at a small level in your local town and community. I use "in good faith" to mean that your intention is to openly become friends with the members as opposed to causing a split or undermining the organization. Additionally, as a small group of activists it can be a challenge to find something to do that isn't just book meetings. I'm not against the idea of a therory reading social club, but to me thats only the first step.
I support the social club then entryism followed by being your own independant thing. Additionally, this is within the context of a rural area where there isn't already some kind of Communist party. So the organization you are practicing entryism with is going to more than likely be a church or the local fire department.
Think of it as a labor pool for your projects. They should be people who are willing to do work for you, not necessarilly ones who agree with you.
Work such as - canvas this neighborhood, clean up trash for these homeless people, drive this homeless person to their hometown to get their birth certificate, go to this picket line, or anything else you can think of.
Start a social club where you do some sort of activity and they are all not liberals.
Find a local liberal or nonliberal activist group working on some sort of project. Join them in good faith and work circles around them along with your club.
Recruit members of the group into your social club also in good faith.
You now have a small activism group and an established ally.
Voting for a third party is basically the only way an average person has to influence policy. If the Republicans lose because half of them voted for JFK JR, then both parties are going to become more concerned about the aliens in the water
If America had a decent public transport system like North Korea we would all be safer. Capitalism killed rail in America. Capitalism created our drug problems. Capitalism starves the children of our enemies in Gaza, North Korea, and Afghanistan.
