I'm searching for good(!) resources on how to outreach, recruit, organize people.
Looking for modern material i.e. "Social Media" and "Youtube" should be part of that.

I want to learn how to organize, not how to participate in already organized events.
Also I'm not sure why you dismiss modern tech so categorically. What are you gonna advise next? Want me to learn morse code so I can use 19th century teleprinter stations?

no because nobody uses morse code. I am telling to do things people actually do.

So you are going to make a new, better party?
Is having grouplet no.9003 really that appealing to you? If so think if it will be appealing to the public…

Yes to both.
Cause the current parties and groups suck.
Probably cause they are led by people like you.

Asinine. This is why you people get nothing done, anon.
All your energy will be diverted in to creating this new party and everything along with it such as the tremendous amount of time you will exert just trying to recruit members, let alone actual committed members, you will achieve nothing outside of your group.
Look around yourself to the other parties and groups you have been in or visited and ask yourself what is going to make people join you en masse compared to any of them.

Nobody is going to help you create a party to become king of your little petti fiefdom when you could just go and get involved with actual orgs and actions that actually exist. That you have no 'useful' replies speaks on you.

If you don't like the socialist orgs in your area, then go for single-issue organizations, and see what they do. Learn from the people who organized it. Learn their outreach methods. Help them achieve their goals. If something fails, help in the process of understanding why it failed. If you don't have any activism or left wing groups in your area at all, move somewhere that does if you can (not for them, but for you and your sanity).

Understand now that there's a difference between teamwork skills, political tactics, leadership skills, recruitment skills within the context of a specific functioning organization – and advertising, marketing, recruiting people into a non-existent or 1 person organization that doesnt do anything for lack of people, etc.

The first group is what will actually help with real world organization of the working class towards working class power, the second will only help you get internet no-lifes so give symbolic support (or if you're really good at it, you can fundraise and have a decent grift)

It is actually possible to do both. It is important that as communists that we make full use of democratic centralism as a method for which we make decisions concerning how we orient ourselves toward the struggle. Democratic centralism, compared to the so-called principle of "horizontalist concensus," enables the most organizationally advanced section of our class, in terms of development, to act quickly, to be able to turn on a dime and take off, starting off in strategized basegroups, and with clear vision of the objectives, and with coherent and developed understanding of the actuality of revolution, set out to intervene in the authentic struggles by the people, amidst the cascade of crises under this murderous system, the current material stage of imperialist capitalism. Our understanding of organization is that in order to that we may help make revolution, alongside the masses, providing them a platform from which they can act in their authentic crises, is that we have to be highly organized and purposeful: that there is absolutely a need for democratic decision making, and it must be a centralized fashion, where we have a debate within a set time frame, we have that necessary discussion time, and then we act, and do what the majority of us said we should do, and orient ourselves to unity of action, even if we might disagree.

Ok now that I've read it, it seems pretty good for any genuine Marxist organization to get shit done. It's meant to be read as a group and is a from an explicitly Maoist lens.

It outlines the baseline strategies and tactics for a Marxist org quite well. Tbf it's written by actual revolutionaries and not armchairs. Would love to see more takes on organization.
