The Sparts do hold their own forums, usually in a series of lecture-
discussions on topics such as books by Marx and Lenin.  I've never been
to one, so have no idea what their forums are like.

I do think they spend MUCH more time heckling at other groups' forums
than they do at organizing their own.  As far as I know, they're the
only group on the left that openly tries to prosyletize off of other
groups--particularly youthful contacts.  They're parasites, for all
practical purposes.
