Its a book-length series of articles but it certainly covers that subject here: https://kites-journal.org/2023/03/13/introduction/
Theres an appendix at the end too for further references.
In terms of proper theory/practice I have some bad news and perhaps a suggestion for you. Unfortunately both revisionism and a broad anti-intellectual attituide are hegemonic today. From my experience theory, if it is even studied at all, is done in an ecltic, unfocused manner based purely off of personal interest rather than directed at understanding / strategizing about a particular problem--theory and practice are entirely separated.
PSL kind of indirectly enforces this by overemphasizing capital P Party (actually Procedural really) discipline among its members. With every comcievable task officially delegated, for instance, if there's an event a such-and-such person will be told they are responsible for bringing water, the other fliers, etc. Such explicit, granular control is fitting more of a boot-camp than a Communist Party in the sense that there is no way creative applications, or avant-garde developments can occur in such an environment. Not to mention the problem of dissent & censorship endemic among Trotskyite groups.
I'm being too detailed for what I want to get across in this comment. Although I don't necessarily agree with them 100% the Unity Prospectus by USU covers the lay of the land of the US left quite well:

I guess the advice I have for you is that while you should get involved in whatever is available, you should do so with a critical eye--never lose persoective on the ultimate goal of a Communist revolution; understand the difference between tactics-as-plan and tactics-as-process & don't get lost in the weeds. With that in mind, always strive to criticize incorrect ideas, no matter how unwelcome it may be; claim no false-unity either, divide what can be divided into two sides. Have a sense of separation and think of it as an investigation.

If you are on Android, you may download this official local version of the Telegram application to bypass restrictions on some resistance channels that have been banned by the Google Play and iOS App Stores. It will automatically update as Telegram releases new updates.
For those who don't speak Arabic, be sure to turn on translations: Settings -> Language"
So i guess you can bypass the censorship by getting the telegram apk from outside of the google play store (F-Droid for example)
The PKK released over 1 hour of footage recently of their operations from the last year or so, including the helmêt (hêlmet, or helmet? IDK) operation in which a fortified position of the Turkish army was completely overran.
An interesting things to note is the technology the PKK has gotten fairly recently. They have drones, IR night vision thingymajiggs, and more modern rifles instead of ancient surplus AKs. Yes they were capable of shooting down helicopters in the past, but to me it nevertheless looks like they have drastically increased their technological capacity.
Also mountainous combat looks like hell on earth. I have no idea how they do it.
So you think it's an invalid concept because of a moral judgement of the Bourgeois state's legal system? Does not your invokation of the 'black market' belie your point? That the criminal has an objectively different relation to production than the proletariate?
Also you know what concept could only be thought up by some educated German theorist? That the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle. What postmodern nonsense!
Beyond the particulars I think you need to go back to the very basics. What's class? Proletariate? What makes the proletariate a revolutionary class? What's meant by it having 'radical chains'? Finally, what's Marxism? Is it just a perscriptive lens?
Anemia of theory will be the death of us all...
"Those are hashed passwords. None of this is really immediately useful information as far as I can tell... The bulk of the data is automated stuff from WP plugins like spam filtering and such.
No. My criteria for for things happening is if everyone knows about it regardless of news reporting. A chatgpt generated headline summarizing a supreme court decision is not.
Isn't that the sentiment behind 'weeks where decades happen?' The momentous weeks that come out of nowhere, changing everything, and their seemingly innocuous build-up over the decades prior?
That's exactly what liberals are going to do if Biden gets couped by the DNC. They are going to pin everything on him.
Ole genocide joe did a genocide, but not us! We quitely resisted, untill we had to take such drastic actions after all else failed--we're heros really. Oh, you think [bad policy] is bad? Well that was all Biden actually. We wash our blood-soaked hands clean with the Great Man theory rag.

🟢 Hamas Political Bureau member Izzat Al-Rishq: — Netanyahu's request from America for "tools to finish the mission quickly" is an explicit admission of his failure to achieve anything so far.
After tens of thousands of tons of explosives, ammunition, and American spy planes, Biden has only one tool left to offer Netanyahu, known for his stinginess and corruption: the price of a plane ticket back to Poland.
There's a copy of it on internet archive but it's only accessible to American people with impaired sight it seems.
Huh didn't know that was a thing that the archive did. I'm both of those things (unfortunately) and could try registering if you don't need it right this second.
Why do you think a United Front strategy is valid for India? Unite with who? You do know it's an illegal party right? Nevermind the blatant opportunism of notion that the 'left needs to campaign better in elections.'
Chip War (Simon and Schuster, 2022) by Chris Miller is a detailed accounting of the U.S. efforts to retain control of the computer chip industry—an industry that has become vital to nearly all aspects…
The logic of monopoly capital and imperialism as it operates in the global semiconductor business. Some key takeaways:
"The great contradiction that they face is the fact that for every major chip firm, the Chinese semiconductor industry also constitutes a huge market, often a bigger customer than any other. Hence, Washington and the U.S. chip industry are caught between trying to limit the Chinese industry and maintaining trade relations."

"U.S. strategists have been earnestly arguing for a scorched earth policy in Taiwan, meaning that the United States should seriously consider destroying TSMC plants in case of a credible threat from China, in order to prevent the Chinese from wresting control over production"
