    Joe Sims (the current CPUSA National Committee co-chair who posted this Blog) seemed to agree with "socialist patriotism" in America in 2014

      CPUSA is obviously an OP, but even Joe Sims recognizes that effusive jingoism is a concept too alienating for half the working class in a post-trump era. I don't think I'm erring here when I say that what changed is literally just Trump being president.

          that's what peter coffin claims, for CPUSA I think it was at least an opportunity to sober up and distance themselves from exhalted patriotism

            it's just "socialist patriotism" which is essentially the same thing as "Bill of Rights socialism" as Joe Sims invoked the term just last year

            "But let’s remember what we’re up against: January 6th and Trump’s attempt to overthrow the government. And let’s also recall that they’re organizing: 10,000 Trump supporters rallied in Wellington, Ohio, in June; 15,000 in Perry, Georgia, in September; and several thousands more last weekend at the Des Moines County Fairgrounds."
