Another escalation against the proletariat, although I think that Biden's administration is sanctifying a lot of what Trump did in his previous term, which only gives more ideological unity to increasingly fascistic policies.

    Is this in response to something new he's done? Because all i'm seeing is the basic "trump is a nazi" shit libs have spewed for the last 5 years.

      That is exactly it sadly. A bunch of phoney communists with an idealist conception of fascism and an antecedent lack of understanding of imperialism.

      I see that they 'republished' some liberal article from the Dialy Kos--so that spares them from the embarrassment of having wrote it, but it still begs the question as to why this was 'republished' in the first place? Its wrong at best, and actively harmful at worst. Does this article push forward the CPUSA line? Does the CPUSA even have a line? Reposting the whole thing verbatim sure makes it seem like they endorse every sentence. I'm just utterly baffled at this...

        I can tell you definitively as a former member that no, there is no line. There's some great people trying to keep things afloat, but fundamentally the leadership doesn't answer to anybody and there is no application of any sort of plan or line. At one time I believed that because CPUSA was so thoroughly infiltrated and destroyed by American intelligence agencies that meant that it's basic structure was so dangerous to the status quo that reviving it would do good; but I don't believe that anymore. Not only is the correct structure necessary, which goes without mentioning that CPUSA has completely abandoned any pretense of structure outside of maybe New York, but also the people at the helm matter too. I don't think we should be quick to dismiss any large socialist movement without good reason and a good fallback plan; but CPUSA is neither large nor are there any good reasons to justify it's current state when things are so bad and the conditions are so ripe.

            Without doxxing yourself, can you elaborate? This isn't an admonishment of PSL, just to have all the facts be available.

              Ultimately it isn't as bad as CPUSA is being made out to be here (not familiar enough to weigh in), I was quick on the draw with that post. But I worked with my local branch in a major US city for 9 months in attempts to become a full on member, and ultimately was never invited to much by my mentor, who ended up ghosting me. On top of that, the big projects they seemed to be involved in was attempting to get local officials elected in, which is fine, but i know a lot of people were burnt out and jaded by that.

                The that sounds like the most common problem I hear about them is their in-proccessing and on-boarding.

                That and their dues requirement - though I might want to double-check if what I remember about that part is true.
