The article itself reads like a DNC political operatives campaign plan, and it openly states that the party officially abandons the class struggle in all forms - from assisting in organizing unionization efforts, educating local labor/tenants/unemployed people on collective action and the class struggle, or even agitating for the advancement of society towards socialism.

Sure one might say "you can do more than one thing" and undoubtedly various clubs will try to do the Communist cause proud, yet what is important here is that the whole party is orientating itself, to the best it can remotely follow democratic centralism, to put neoliberal electoral theatrics as its core goal for the next 3 years and will pour party resources wholeheartedly into reinforcing the entrenched bougeoise State.

Also side note, it's fucking embarrassing that the Communist Party is using official party, club, and organization accounts to have Twitter fights. Those are organization accounts belonging to the collective party, not your own fucking soapbox to complain about how you're getting ratioed for your shit takes

        Imagine being so irrelevant as a communist party that you endorse a Democrat and the Republicans don't even bother putting that in their attack ads.

            Mmm no not that I know, the party fell under the Communist International and was generally taking its guidance and ques from the CPSU all the way up to '91

            A lot of members used to have serious ties to Soviet officials. Being a dumbass aside, Browder was working with the KGB as leader and even afterwards. He was the guy to talk to if you have something urgent to inform the USSR of or wanted to defect

    Literally just uncritical support offered for the democratic party, which has repeatedly expressed a refusal to fight the existence of the republican party in any meaningful sense.

    Embarrassing is the kindest word for it.

    I have to hand it to the :fedposting: on this one, it's smart to a) redirect the energy of a would-be radical leftist org into electoralism while simultaneously b) giving Fucker Tarlson and co a neat headline for getting their chuds to :frothingfash: over anarcho-bidenists, which will c) convince "I'm as left as they come" libs that by :vote:ing for slaykween pelosi they are literally as left as they come

      Member dues and fund drives are still a portion of their funds. The party also owns properties, estates, stock portfolios, etc. Some of that comes from life-long dedicated partymembers bequeathing to the party their possessions when they pass away, some of that comes from investments of party funds.

        I'm not gonna tell an organization that labels itself communist how to run itself, but that all seems, as the kids say, pretty sus.

        P sus, if you will.

          I'd trust the party leadership of a communist party of the New Type with those kinds of resources and assets if they were communists.

          Key word: if

      Ward Churchill made a funny comment on the CPUSA a few years ago, the only dues paying members were Feds

    communism and liberalism are literally incompatible. US "leftist" political parties read any theory challenge (impossible)

      They do read theory. But much like v**sh, they use it to justify supporting the DNC and not much else.
