Since certain individuals are allowed to openly attack communist parties whenever they want and not get banned for it, especially today when they make a post accusing an entire party of being antisemitic because they maliciously misinterpret a twitter boomer's posts about biden's puppet Zelensky the cocaine sniffing hot-air balloon that'd fit in better on the stage of the Grammys than on the stage with world leaders, let's follow their shining example and tear back the curtains on other parties as well. Every time they post a superficial attack of a communist party, so will I.

Obviously the mods aren't biased enough to remove this while letting the terminally online social chauvinists get off without even a warning like usual, right?

Right?

The initial internal criticism of the PSL’s public statement on the sexual assault in the Philadelphia branch.

Following three hours of emotional appeals by the Central Committee, circular rhetoric which refused to engage the document’s criticisms, browbeating and baseless accusations of racism (including PSL presidential candidate Gloria La Riva yelling that a trans woman referring to her as a cis woman was a manifestation of racism), the endorsers on the call tendered their resignations. Due to this treatment, we no longer feel compelled to keep these criticisms internal, as it has become obvious that Party leadership at both local and national levels rejects any criticism from below—an unscientific and undemocratic dogma that will only harm the Party.

The first of the deeper issues is the statement’s ableism, reflecting ableism more broadly in the Philly Steering Committee’s handling of the case and a lack of attention to disability issues in certain sectors of the PSL. The members of the Central Committee are not so politically underdeveloped as to be explicitly bigoted in their handling of mental illness, and one must therefore be aware of indicators—but a subtle undercurrent remains throughout the statement. Griselda's behavior is repeatedly portrayed as extreme and bizarre, without any disclosure of the Party's knowledge of her bipolar disorder. This is addressed both by Griselda herself repeatedly on Twitter and in her own public statement, and by Dakota in his resignation statement. The best reading of this use of the stigma associated with symptoms of mental illness is that it was an unconscious bias, while the worst is that it was a cynical and deliberate tactic. This author chooses to believe the first interpretation and pleads with the authors of the Central Committee statement to consider why they went out of their way to play up the “hysterical woman” stereotype in their portrayal of a woman who is quite open about living with bipolar disorder. The Philly Steering Committee handled this in an ableist manner by scrutinizing all of Griselda's statements for their veracity, except for threats to call law enforcement made during an acute episode, which they took at face value (as Dakota describes in his letter).

Most observers would understand this added context as an example of "date rape." Date rape is an instance of sexual assault or coercion wherein tactics such as repeated badgering and pleading are used as psychological attrition by a perpetrator against a victim who they have some type of intimate relationship with. This particular form of sexual abuse has been recognized in mainstream media since the late 1980s. That just over a dozen women in the PSL would be willing to sign their first names and last initials (while Griselda is fully named) on to a statement that asserts, in context, that date rape isn't real, is concerning enough—never mind that many of those women are branch Steering Committee and Central Committee members.

This shows a serious deficiency in understanding patriarchy, misogyny, and women's oppression—a deficiency which decimates the PSL’s credibility as a source of serious analysis when it publishes a supposedly feminist magazine whose editors unanimously signed on to this abysmal statement in defense of a single white man.
