I'm happy to concede this is a weak and vague suggestion, but if it all fails horribly it will at least be a novel kind of failure. One more first world Vanguard LARP party isn't going to succeed where all the hundreds of others have failed - even if it
was going to succeed it would depend, first and foremost, on the kind of practical, boring activity that a party is horribly suited to because it will always be tempting to discard the boring bit in favor of LARPing as the CPSU.
Every organization should identify a practical immediate need and then try to meet that need. Unions, however poorly, meet this test. Tenants unions, also good. Hell, even many charities and book clubs manage this. LARP parties, however, only ever meet the need of their central committees to feel powerful, to draft arrogant, grandiose statements of "demands" purportedly from the working class but ultimately on behalf of a rug merchant or sex-pest with no working class following to speak of and no serious expectation those demands will be met. The fetish for the party form is one of the worst diseases of the contemporary left - if the alternatives are underdeveloped, that just makes the case more strongly: a thousand dead vanguards, a thousand more waiting in the wings, and so little idea of what else we could try…
