Someone else mentioned that Bechtel is still president of the organization that published People's World. Are they not under direct control of the CPUSA?
Peoples world is a "privately held company" operated by members of CPUSA's central committee. Anyone saying that People's world isn't run by CPUSA because of a tissue paper's thickness worth of "plausible deniability" would be akin to denying that Washington Post is the mouthpiece of Jeff Bezos and his cohort because WAPO is owned by "Nash Holdings LLC"
Some things are bad there, but its not "just as bad".
Honestly in think condemning a statement that calls for an end of the occupation for not flaunting pointless bloodthirst and using a little disgression/moderation is fine. I know we're supposed to be dirtbags that dont care about tone here, but i think a national org is a different situation.
Yeah they need to get their shit togeather and eject all the old blood from positions of power. Like respect to those people who kept the party going through the bleak years, but my experience with the older leadership is that they are terminally libbrained and election focused. The younger members seemed really full of energy and focus on direct action and community organizing.
I'm not American so things could be different but I do think that a solution to having a reactionary Communist Party is to JOIN THAT PARTY and participate in party democracy, there's more than enough of us to bring about internal change instead of going full splitter mode. If the current party core is too dug in for this to work then they are no longer a communist party and that's when you split off. If you're an ML you should be a member of a communist party. It's part of the deal.
Probably worth sharing the top comment from the lemmygrad thread:

Good question, I couldn't find anything definitive. When People's World first went online in 2009, CPUSA was involved, though.
