    Funny enough the whole "new deal shitlib" shit Larouchites stan is basically the "new deal socialism" and "bill of rights socialism" CPUSA stans as well.

      The fucking Lincoln bust they put up at a conference to mirror the old CPUSA is based on the post-psyop CPUSA that tried and failed to appeal to American patriotism

        Well if we're gonna be accurate, the failure od CPUSA to appeal to American patriotism occured due to the onset of the cold war and the second Red Scare. A lot of the membership of CPUSA that had joined over the course of the war were from the intelligentsia and the petite bougeoise, whom at the whiff of the threat of legal persecution by the Feds would flee the party and disavow their association all-together. These folks were generally the folks that were attracted by the browderite era agitprop as it was historically up to that point that communists were the greatest fighters and allies against the fascist menace.

        Logically, you would look at the contemporary rise of fascism and say the old browderite agitprop might be a strategy to utilize again today, but the problem is that only works if your country is fighting against fascism and not the one actively feeding it. The strategy for that is revolutionary defeatism and/or partisan work a la peoples war etc.

        Tl:Dr larouchshite clowns are choosing a poor strategy that has historically failed in the face of federal soft-power repression.
