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.

    That's not what this is about

    It's what the timing speaks to. Anyone cognizant of the current political climate would not publish this unless they were trying to sheepdog for Biden. The only question is whether it's intentional or whether it's incompetence.

    we don't support or endorse Democrats.

    CPUSA has an explicit unified front with libs strategy: https://cpusa.org/party_info/party-program/. Section V in particular. Any time CPUSA members mention "all people's front" it's a helpful indicator.

    The CPUSA chapter / whatever in my area explicitly canvassed for Biden.

    CPUSA ran constant anti-Trump, clearly pro-Biden campaigns in 2020. See the Vote Against Fascism campaign: https://www.cpusa.org/article/call-to-action-vote-against-fascism/

    People like me.

    Does that mean CPUSA members or...?

      Yes, CPUSA members. CPUSA did not do that during 2020. Also, that's not what the United Front is about.

        Yes, CPUSA members.

        So then it makes no sense. Something written for members that's published publicly and on Daily Kos first.

        CPUSA did not do that during 2020.

        It did and I've provided you with the examples.

        Also, that's not what the United Front is about.

        It obviously is.

          It was republished from Daily Kos for the benefit of CPUSA members; in other words, curated.

          "It obviously is."

          It's not.

            It feels condescending to explain this, but if it was published on Daily Kos first then its intended audience was not CPUSA members. While I disagree with the author, I do not think they're so incompetent that they think that is the way to communicate with membership and not, say, the largely SocDem/liberal audience of that website.

            "It obviously is."

            It's not.

            I've used CPUSA sources to explain how it is. Please feel free to engage with the substance of what I've said.

              "then its intended audience was not CPUSA members."

              That makes no sense, no offense; it was clearly curated.

              "the largely SocDem/liberal audience of that website."

              It's meant to also attrack audiences outside of the Marxist-Leninist rank-and-file; you're over-focusing on one article.

              "I've used CPUSA sources to explain how it is. Please feel free to engage with the substance of what I've said."

              You've used only a few at best.

                It doesn't make sense that no competent person would publish on a liberal blog in order to address communist party membership? Please explain.

                It's meant to also attrack audiences outside of the Marxist-Leninist rank-and-file; you're over-focusing on one article.

                It's obvious that this is the primary audience, yes. I assume the author isn't so incompetent as to think that publishing on Daily Kos is how you talk to CPUSA members.

                Not sure what you mean by over-focusing. The entire post is just this article.

                  I already said it was curated.

                  "It's obvious that this is the primary audience, yes."

                  It's not the only audience though.

                  "Not sure what you mean by over-focusing. The entire post is just this article."

                  Well, there you go.

                  "Please feel free to engage with the substance of what I've said."

                  I already have.

                    And?

                    It's not the only audience though.

                    That's implied by the qualifier "primary", yes.

                    Well, there you go.

                    ?

                    I already have.

                    Absolutely false.
