There was a time where the aspiration would be a socialist international, warts and all.

All the usual suspects are in it
Chomsky, Sanders, Varoufakis, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, the Icelandic prime minister, former Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell, Naomi Klein, Arundhati Roy, and Rafael Correa, the former president of Ecuador.
In September, pandemic permitting, the council will convene for an inaugural summit in Reykjavik.
How about giving someone a trip to Iceland to leaflet the meeting with our own WSM International?

More support for PI
What a bunch of time-wasting reformists ! Luckily they are not calling themselves socialists.
Incidentally, Chomsky’s comment on the review if his book in this month’s Socialist Standard can be found in the Feedback section here;
That is what they are, a bunch of reformists including Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein, probably Andrew Killman is going to join the crowd
For this peoples reformism is like an incurable disease, it never goes away. It does show that you do not have to be an academic or an intellectual to understand socialism, and it contradicts Lenin concept of the vanguard party and whatever he wrote on What is to be done? They have read and written hundreds of books and articles and they never learn
These new international are growing like flowers in the wilderness, there is a new one that is going to be formed in Latin America conducted by a bunch of leftwing reformists followers of the so-called Bolivarian revolution and Twenty first century socialism
I think that the book written by Adam Buick The Alternative to capitalism does a much better job than Internationalism written by Noam Chomsky, without a post-capitalist society our problems will never be resolved. Without a class consciousness worldly working class a new society can be established, internationalism is not enough, and the USA is not the only society that exists around the world, the whole world must uproot the market system including the state-capitalist countries that he has supported
Arundhati Roy and Naomi Klein help launch a Global Green New Deal project to foster internationalism and visualize possibilities for a new and better world for people and the planet.
Another group of reformists trying to humanize capitalism. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was proposing something similar and now she has jumped in the wagon of Joe Biden. Internationalists and greeners are growing like flowers but none of them is advocating for a post-capitalist society
