Should I (or other Americans here) join any of these? Are there any past or current members here that want to share their thoughts?

Joining a trade union is always a good idea, it might as well be the IWW.

Dsa has some entryist radicals like the Libertarian Socialist Caucus and the Communist Caucus, but it's mostly socdems and will likely remain as such. IWW isn't what it used to be but they still organize labor and are more effective at it than most. There's two SRAs, one is allegedly run by a landlord and the other has little irl presence, I don't know which is which so join at your own risk. The PSL expects $300 minimum in dues and doesn't do much with it, they're also the source of some of the obnoxious twitter tanks.

What are the requirements to join the IWW?
Cooper Foster
Be a worker and pay dues. Maximum dues are $33 a month and less than half of what PSL asks for the same income.

An annual labour party membership is £60 a year, an annual union membership is £186, both cost £210.
I really don't see how you can justify a week's wages before tax for a membership, especially in America where working class people have less disposable income and there are lower business overheads.

These all seem like sham organizations to me.

Hold on what now.

I would not join the SRA, it's a liability that endangers any actual chance at arming the working class, in an already incredibly unlikely scenario where the government cracks down on leftist insurgency, the working class need not advertise their intentions.
If you want to actually organise and train yourselves in a lefty gun club, you need to do it off the books, invite people by word of mouth only and keep it to yourselves. Especially given how asymmetric such a potential confrontation would be between the US government and any leftist guerrilla cells, the fear of the unknown red army would be an even stronger factor than an infiltrated open club.

Yes it might surprise you but running even a local party campaigning for park manager is actually capital intensive, not as expensive as OP's figures would have you believe though.
