Thank you for pointing this out. I will go one step further and say that it would be a grave error in my view to go around banning comrades because of their association with communist parties whose line we do not, as a whole, approve of. We need to recognize that contradictions are a fact of life under capitalism and even an imperfect org is better than no org. And i am saying this as someone who has quite a negative view of CPUSA based on what i have learned about them so far. We don’t have the numbers to be able to afford to become this exclusionary, ever shrinking echo chamber of what we deem “acceptable” opinions.
