    Citation: Jay Lovestone was a former prominent figure in CPUSA during the time of Comrade Forester who argued that, during the 20s right before the great depression, that America was too wealthy, rich, and had such a strongly entrenched bougeoise that it was impossible for the Communist movement to gain any ground.

    J.Stalin told Lovestone that he's full of shit and a right-opportunist who thinks that America is uniquely exempt from historical materialism and said he should either correct his anti-communist perspective or leave the Party.

    And then the great depression happened, Lovestone and his people formed a faction and split from the party, and down the road Jay Lovestone joined the fucking CIA as an anti-communist expert.

      The lesson Kayla here is pointing out, is much like how Comrade Stalin looked upon the past and drew the conclusion that "History shows that there are no invincible armies." When the Nazi machine was portraying itself as an unstoppable juggernaut, we should understand that History shows us there are no immortal empires.

      America is not exceptional. And America will one day fall. How that happens is up to whoever seizes the vanguard role to guide the people towards the future.
