The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) was established on this day in 1919. CPUSA provided legal aid to the Scottsboro Boys, helped poor Southern farmers form sharecropper unions, and promoted communist ideas within the U.S.
The party was established after a split in the Socialist Party of America following the Russian Revolution, and initially operated underground due to the Palmer Raids, a series of anti-immigrant, anti-labor, and anti-communist raids conducted by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer.
CPUSA was an early opponent of segregation and racial discrimination, giving legal aid to the Scottsboro Boys and helping poor black farmers in the South organize sharecropper unions. Because of this, the party had a strong presence in Alabama in the 1930s. This history is detailed in "Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists during the Great Depression" by historian Robin D.G. Kelley.

Wife's old friend posted a deranged transphobic political cartoon on facebook and it made me log into the website for the first time in years and immediately get unfriended after arguing with someone in the comments for 5 minutes.
People like her are actively trying to make the world worse for my kid and I won't fucking stand for it. Before i had the baby I will be honest I'd let a lot of stuff slide because honestly I have the privilege of doing so and it was easier. Now it's like any little thing I don't push back on is affecting the world they'll grow up in.
Recently been worried that having a child would make me less useful to any communist cause but it appears it's already made me more useful
Agent 47 you can't wear a women's maid outfit as a disguise. You'll have to find a male outfit because for some reason they all fit perfectly on you. Even the shoes.
But the skirt feels so breezy, I feel my tactical awareness and natural instincts will be heightened. And no one will call me out because they'll be too afraid I'll accuse them of a hate crime.
That's brilliant, 47, keep up the good work!
so I decided to go against my better judgement and decided to lay down in the dirt just to look at the night sky for like 10-20 minutes. it was worth it
A pair of binoculars and a bean bag chair are worthwhile upgrades if you enjoy this
I don't know where to put this, please someone watch. Its a publicfreakout video of a road rage incident, while the recording driver is listening to a Second Thought video on alienation in the work place. I don't know which comm it belongs in. Someone help
https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/16739qw/road_raging_with_the_wrong_person/
the absolute timing on "like, what about all the other cogs?" omfg
this deserves mainposting
Actually this ought to be shared with second thought and deprogram circles too if it hasn't already
Someone in the comments called it art and they're right and I need to figure out how to save this video before it's gone.
truck shithead absolutely blown the fuck out lmao
Death to America
It's an amazing video. Surprisingly, a lot of redditors in the comments are praising the Second Thought video that's playing in the background. I think that normies are slowly getting more receptive to leftist ideas and theory, especially in the past 3 years.
Heard some pretty old school anti-asian racism as I got to the pub today to get dinner. :( I am visibly non-white and idk if it was in response to me. Just kinda shut it out. Just super weird to hear (if you want to know, it's the sucky sucky one)
Maybe I'm trying to distance myself from its prevalence, but I feel like you've either gotta be way too old or way too young to pull that one out these days?
Regardless, that's fucked. I'm sorrySome old tradies at the bar next to me. I don't even know if they were saying it in response to me arriving and taking off my headphones.
I vaguely remember it was in Southpark at some stage?
tradies at the bar
victim blaming aside, yeah it was pretty ubiquitous 10-20 years ago, probably from south park as you suggest. Trash show with trash cultural influence lol :s
I'm actually pretty sure it was solely responsible for a rise in anti-semitic language on the playground. Also being very libertarian "centrist" about everything.
definitely popularized "hating everyone equally", and id definitely never heard some of the antisemitic language before it.
"Mum, what's a *****?"
I've also experienced racism, though that was in school and at work.
Bit idea: trans guy who gets into Andrew Tate alpha masculinity influencers, claims to only have transitioned because he hates women that much
Gamers, what are your thoughts on Starfield? Most reviewers are saying that the game is a mile wide, but an inch deep. I think that Bethesda designed it like that on purpose.
They understand that the modders are the reason why people are still playing Skyrim over ten years after its release. So they opted to go for quantity instead of quality. Becauuse the modders can easily add content to the game but it's harder for them to add new systems. So Bethesda made a bunch of different systems, knowing that modders will fill them with content. Tbh I think they made the right decision.
The best way to play any Bethesda game is to buy it 2 years after release on a 50% sale and install 160 mods. I'm gonna play it like that and it's probably gonna be a blast.
Listening to a recent QAA episode and the conspiracy theorist they're focusing on expresses the view that
"Hitler was probably a very bad person, but he did stop pedophilia"
Never heard this before
