CPUSA and DSA have consistently been used to funnel leftists into the democrat party. There have been efforts to radicalize these orgs from the ground up but because of routine liquidations and undemocratic election of leadership they have failed and any attempt at using their resources for good fall flat. The general makeup of these orgs are also very liberal, with the occasional exception to the rule. I recall CPUSA liquidating a chapter through accusations of "black nationalism" and following the black panther playbook, the continual normalization of zionism within the DSA and gutting of anti-zionist resolutions, and the clockwork endorsement and aiding of the democratic party for both (as well as the pool of up and coming democrat "leftists" that DSA serves as). The way these orgs are setup, their connection to the state and the democratic party, it all reads as controlled opposition to me.

ACP is a bit of a different beast, but they have such a strange amount of money and Jackson Hinkle showing up on Chinese television, giving Maduro a brief interview on Venezualan TV, the speech he gave to the houthis, the day 1 ACP meeting with the CPRF, it's all incredibly sus. I can't help but see it as an attempt to make sure communist curious white men become fanatic yankee chauvinists, building this "anti-woke" communism that will be used to give communism a horrible face that plays into the stereotypes it already has and to bash actually existing attempts at building socialism. I could very well also see that they're being used by the state as a means to communicate with anti-US forces as the CPUSA was back in the day. It feels like an updated version of the CPUSA, with our current day's version of US nationalism and a (scary) youthful energy to the thing. They are the ultimate settler communist org, and I really, really hope they never become influential in any meaningful way.

Other than the CPUSA, DSA, and ACP you can't really say for sure controlled opposition, but suspiciously funded infantile orgs that do more harm than good run rampant. Something's definitely up with the RCP and their cult leader bob avikan and the millionaire founders of PSL are sus... these trotskyist/marcyite orgs may not be intentionally controlled opposition but they haven't done much past newspapers and podcasts as per the tradition. The vanguard party sure hasn't shown up yet at the very least and the prison system, drug trade, and surveillance state has done a phenomenal job putting potential revolutionaries trying to set one up behind bars.

I'm sorry for not posting sources sooner, but you need to understand this pops up continually and PSL doesn't get a free pass from criticism even if I'm just talking about the personal experiences from my comrades. PSL started as and has never not been a marcyist, trotskyist party that runs elections and polices protests to control revolutionary energy. Richard Becker and his wife Gloria La Riva have always had oversized control of the party failing to adhere to any sense of democratic in democratic centralism. Ben Becker and his wife Karina Garcia are also on the central committee, clearly through nepotism and/or just clear as day fed shit. And you can't say without being an SA apolgist that they have power structures in place to prevent it from taking place. They harbor and take the side of abusers time and time again and the only reason why Im so mad about it is because ppl rather deny it happens than acknowledge it and try and be better or hold leadership accountable

Sorry I confused the transphobe with the other transphobe.

You can't say PSL didn't post a "masking is a personal choice" video during the campaign that was so unpopular they took it down. You can't say claudia wears a mask at events. You can't say PSL isn't an unsafe space for disabled people for this exact reason, I'm sick of the constant "nuh uh" reasoning to excuse this shit. Own up to it, say it's a problem or say that you care more about PSL than disabled people. Condemn transphobic comments and work to make it a better org. It's just constant denial

The link they posted was broken, Im assuming they meant the piece in there that is an appeal to the US government to allow more soverignty for the natives through the following and amending of treaties. This is similar as to when hamas advocates for two state, it's not because it is the basis for their liberation, but by advocating for it and always ready to be working for it the hypocrisy and the untenable situation they are in becomes clear.

Socialist reconstruction is not an appeal to US imperialism and I judge to a different standard

By settlers I mean those with an explotative relationship with the land, receiving those goodies from imperialism and the other tendrils of white supremacist America, their existence legal and protected within our law. It's a spectrum, but importantly not ghettoized black people, not non-citizens, not natives. I'm talking about Brian Becker, his kid who he put on the top committee, Im talking about that TERF anti-masker claudia de la cruz.

The EFF is a great example of what we could have here, an organization advocating for and making active steps towards decolonization and land back in a socialist framework. Yes, settlers can join, and no, they are not the majority of the organization nor in great leadership positions.

Give me an example, ignoring the fact that the Becker's being the largest funding source of the party means they have defacto full control of it.

?? An appeal to the US government is extremely different than the plan for a revolutionary government to take its place. Why do white people think they can speak like this?

No. I am not a populist or a tailist, I recognize communism is extremely unpopular in america and will not be in the nations popular interest unless the vast majority of lazy white america one day feels like working the fields for the rest of their lives is a good idea as to give their grandchildren a life worth living. Until we smash imperialism these revolutionary circumstances will not arise, and as such I am a revolutionary defeatist in our context. We need to create the conditions.
