Joe Simps for the D biden-horror : CPUSA co-chair Sims: Fighting fascist threat a top priority Peoples world Article

Excerpts:

CHICAGO – “The battle lines are clear. We’re fighting a fascist danger at home and a genocidal war abroad. And to defeat the danger at home, we’ve got to defeat the war abroad.” CPUSA co-chair Joe Sims gave this warning on June 7, as he keynoted the 32nd National Convention of the Communist Party USA.

Sims also spoke of the “raw racism at the very heart of MAGA,” and added, “Immigrants are a special target.

“First, they tried the wall,” Sims said of Trump’s scheme to keep migrants from entering the U.S. across the Mexican border. “Then the Muslim ban, now they’re planning concentration camps. That’s right, we said it. And if they come for immigrants in the morning, they’re damn sure coming for us at noon.

But we’re not at fascism yet, of course, Sims said. And that moment of respite – for however long it lasts – means that for now, “There is room for struggle. Let us use that space to fight for a ceasefire in Gaza and for an end to the war in Ukraine. Let us use it to stop the expansion of NATO, end the blockade of Cuba, and bring the Cold War against China to a close.

He then turned to the historic question the Communist movement has always asked, “What, then, is to be done?”

you are not him dennis-stare

As Sims spoke to wild peals of applause, he said, “On the one side, there’s the ruling class forces of white supremacy and MAGA pulling the country apart. On the other, there’s the working-class forces of democracy pulling the country together.”

    Extremely well written link.

    This seems like a lot of effort when the people that aren't revisionists could simply migrate to another ML party that isn't clearly fucked up procedurally in so many ways. What's the point in spending one to three decades fighting this out and waiting for these people to die when people could simply move.

    All this agitation and trying to fight things out procedurally and for what? What's the outcome going to be? The outcome will be that these people stay in place until they're dead and they get to appoint whoever follows them so those people are almost certainly going to be exactly like they are.

    Fighting in CPUSA appears to be a dead end to me. The mechanisms are what matter here. Really lay out to yourselves how many decades this will take vs how immediate moving to another party would be. It's really fucking obvious what the correct path is.

      It seems like they're going to just appoint their failchildren at this point since the finances are entirely controlled by a few families.

        Yeah which is exactly why there is no point in fighting it. The problem can't be resolved without a mechanism and one simply does not exist. It's an organisational dead end.
