John Bachtell, former national committee chairperson of CPUSA, continues the party's decades long tradition of making shit up to discredit the left's greatest accomplishments. Liberals hate that Stalin and the greater communist movement destroyed the independence of Ukraine's ruling class and brought an end to the centuries of antisemitic violence they used to preserve their power.

SMDH my dickhead.

    Also, yeah, John Bachtell was ousted from leadership due to stuff like this.

    We kinda hate him in the CPUSA, though I know a friend that likes him personally and knows him.

    But yeah, I'm glad that Joe Sims replaced 'em.

      Interesting. I've met him before. He is a nice guy. I haven't learned anything about Joe Sims yet. If you've got the time, could you post a link to any writing by him, or a video that you think is good?

        I enjoyed the writing he did where he lays out his opinions on the dictatorship of the proletariat, Marxism-Leninism, and his opinion on Soviet legality.

              This is barely different than talking about communism with my boomer dad. If he doesn't already know what you're talking about he just assumes whatever you said is completely insane. In my dad's defense, he's never read anything about communism. I'm gonna hold Sims to a higher standard.

              Edit: I thought you were serious when you said you liked his writing. Good god.

                I'd rather be caught naked in times square than try and reconciliate my beliefs with those held by that bidencrat and his cronies

                Side note, I just remembered we've actually had a similar conversation about these folks like two years back, where you mentioned meeting Mr. and Ms. Bachtell for lunch. You even cracked a joke about being a big cheese in the revisionist world because of it lmao

                  Wait, are you talking about John Bachtell?

                  'Cause I like Joe Sims and Rosanna Cambron compared to him; in fact, I really like Joe Sims especially.

          I did like that. I think it's cool that CPUSA is engaging with Chinese communists despite the political environment here. He might be a little optimistic about the existence of a broad antifascist alliance that includes both CPUSA and the democratic party. I still forsee a plea to vote for dems.
