I'm involved in direct action mutual aid and community organizing as an "ML" (I more just consider myself a communist, but most leftists would probably consider me an ML), but most of the public face of the work is anarchist. A lot of people might be squeamish about working with revolutionary Marxists or even engaging with them in public, so that might be part of the reason Anarchists, particularly in the vague sense, seem more represented in direct action. I'm considering bringing some literature to distribute in my activities, but I probably wouldn't make it Lenin or Mao for this reason.

Mutua Laid
Yeah, I noticed this too. Local socialist groups are wary of associating themselves with ML states.
When you do mutual aid, you get mutually laid :comfy-cool: :anarcho-bottom:
