This reveals, I think, that joining the CPUSA to agitate within the org is not a viable strategy. They’ll just liquidate you.
Not even the AFL-CIA liquidates union locals for standing with Palestinians. Imagine being worse than the labor aristocracy!
Cpusa has been feds top to bottom for a while
Not even the AFL-CIA
It matters not whether the AFL-CIA acronym was intentional or a typo, that is just too perfect a comment.
Up until now i had always operated under the impression that CPUSA is like the unions: bad leadership, good rank and file and worth for revolutionaries to work inside as Lenin advised. But as you point out even unions don’t go this far in enforcing pro-liberal discipline so i’m beginning to question the usefulness of staying in the party if it means you have to bend the knee to these horrendous lines that the party has adopted. At this point why not just go over to PSL or one of the other smaller but more genuinely revolutionary, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist groups.
Lol seeing CPUSA members on Twitter retweeting Kamala and the fucking Lincoln Project for Christ’s sake. They’re never beating the allegations.
Also seeing them dismiss this entire thing because the liquidated chapter had no black members. Which is a fair criticism, but is hilarious that they avoid all the other valid points. I’ve seen this a lot from CPUSA people on Twitter when there’s any criticism of the party. It’s always the form of the critique that makes the substance not worth addressing. Doesn’t really instill confidence in your partyDemocratic centralism is only a good thing when your party can reliably make the correct decisions.
And is actually democratic.
Most times I’ve seen Western leftists try out demcent it immediately collapses into an insular central committee (sometimes with another name) that decides it now has virtually dictatorial power because they were elected by membership and it turns out there are no real rules and nobody is organized enough to fight them.
This is probably because western leftists lack organizational experience (given how much previous successful western left-wing orgs were destroyed or coopted)
Lmfao read Settlers 🗣️
Read Black Bolshevik this is nothing new out of them.
Is Resolution 5 really about voting for Biden?
Is there somewhere CPUSA defines their “broad front”?I live outside the US so I’m not up to date on American politics?
I can’t believe what I’m reading. I knew these American communist parties had issues, I don’t pay much attention to them but I don’t realise there was support for Joe fucking Biden and the Dems. What the fuck!?
CPUSA has been doing it for a while now. They did the same with Hillary Clinton.
Wow. I’m really at a loss for words. CPUSA really thinks that posting these reasons for expelling them makes them look good? I would be ashamed to be a member.
CPUSA out here making the Communist Party of Japan look good, so thanks for that I guess…?
I haven’t kept up with them and knew they had some soc-dem trends, but I didn’t think they had sunk so low, honestly. At what point did they just get assimilated into the establishment party? I don’t recall them always being this reactionary.
I can’t remember, isn’t this the chapter that JT is a member of? I wonder if we’ll see anything about it from him
If his horrendous Ukraine video is any indication, he won’t say anything with teeth.
He’s in Dallas-Ft Worth IIRC
Austin is definitely the more left of the two cities, but that’s not really a good thing in this context
Oh yeah. I’ve never been to Austin, but I’ve been to DFW, and I fucking hate it there.
I’m trying really hard not to paint them with an overly broad brush and am open to nuance on it, but if this is the kind of shit they can pull at the leadership level, then I don’t see much hope for them as an org. It comes across to me like the majority leadership views it as a vehicle for accruing dem votes that is meant to actually block anything further than that, rather than anything resembling a revolutionary org.
grill all grackers
can someone think of our israeli comrades 😫
Cuck Pit USA
Is there a statement from CPUSA on the matter?
I’ve talked to loyal CPUSAists. They’re as cringe as this makes it out to be.
No. It’s a statement by the dissolved Austin chapter.
Yes, it’s in response to an action taken by the CPUSA. I’m asking if the CPUSA put out a statement when they announced their action. There’s no link to one on the page.
This seems damning at first blush, but most stories do when you only get one side. Hearing from both sides before reaching a conclusion is fair.
My bad. I misunderstood. I tried looking for it but haven’t found anything yet.
