I'm apart of CPUSA, though may leave.

No, we are not controlled opposition.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 5 months ago (2 children)

CPUSA has said they are unwilling to vanguard on there own website, called the PRC a naiton with 9 parties in congress a 1 party state and has implied that AES is not democratic in a few of there publications

lets also add to this that EVERY ELECTION they just suport the dems, no calls to withold votes, no trying to run a canidate of there own that while it may be bad electoraly would be able to show that not everyone suports the dems

they eject the only 2 chapters that opposed Isn'treal and invited an speaker from Isreal that spoke in favor of zionism to one of there confrences

they are either woefully incompetent, or they are controlled oposition, or both

Can you please add the sources for these? I would love to have them.

None of that is true. The CPUSA members know that the PRC is a nation with multiple parties and have said so. Never has it implied that AES is not democratic, judging by their works on Cuba and Laos and Vietnam. Also, in most elections, they don’t support the Dems and even had a schism over support of Democrats. They’ve run multiple candidates throughout the country recently.

Also, the whole organization opposes Israel and they ejected those two chapters because they were doxxing people, including a friend of mine, and the speaker was a communist who couldn’t say much about his actual politics who was later ejected from the Knesset.

They are not incompetent or controlled opposition. We’ve had several gains under Joe Sims compared to John Bachtell, such as the Amazon Workers Union.


^ This is my reply to the other person.

Why are you planning to leave to the CPUSA?

What do you mean? In which way?

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just hard to keep at it. I've been at it for 5 years and it gets tiresome after a while. It's best I bow out for now.

[–] SovietReporter@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wow, I didn't know that being in a communist party was such a big time and energy commitment.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago

It kinda is!

It depends how much you're doing and what's happening and what's happening in your life as well.

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why does CPUSA continuously advocate for voting democrat every election? We've had this conversation before and I linked direct articles from CPUSA dating all the way back to Obama where they repeatedly tell their members to vote democrat.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, during the Sam Webb years.

But things have been changing.

Even so, we already run our own candidates and try to be in good standing with Dems on the local level, for example, Dem-aligned groups and so on.
