    Is Resolution 5 really about voting for Biden?
    Is there somewhere CPUSA defines their “broad front”?

    I live outside the US so I’m not up to date on American politics?

    Wow. I’m really at a loss for words. CPUSA really thinks that posting these reasons for expelling them makes them look good? I would be ashamed to be a member.

    CPUSA out here making the Communist Party of Japan look good, so thanks for that I guess…?

    I haven’t kept up with them and knew they had some soc-dem trends, but I didn’t think they had sunk so low, honestly. At what point did they just get assimilated into the establishment party? I don’t recall them always being this reactionary.

    Lol seeing CPUSA members on Twitter retweeting Kamala and the fucking Lincoln Project for Christ’s sake. They’re never beating the allegations.
    Also seeing them dismiss this entire thing because the liquidated chapter had no black members. Which is a fair criticism, but is hilarious that they avoid all the other valid points. I’ve seen this a lot from CPUSA people on Twitter when there’s any criticism of the party. It’s always the form of the critique that makes the substance not worth addressing. Doesn’t really instill confidence in your party

    I’m trying really hard not to paint them with an overly broad brush and am open to nuance on it, but if this is the kind of shit they can pull at the leadership level, then I don’t see much hope for them as an org. It comes across to me like the majority leadership views it as a vehicle for accruing dem votes that is meant to actually block anything further than that, rather than anything resembling a revolutionary org.

        Yes, it’s in response to an action taken by the CPUSA. I’m asking if the CPUSA put out a statement when they announced their action. There’s no link to one on the page.

        This seems damning at first blush, but most stories do when you only get one side. Hearing from both sides before reaching a conclusion is fair.

    The only reason I have a modicum of faith is that JT Chapman aka Second Thought is a member of the CPUSA and is attempting to go up the ranks of the party. They are THE official communist party and have so much history that it’s a shame to give up on it if possible. He’s proven many times that he’s not afraid to stick his neck out even if he risks everything by being so public about his beliefs.

      I think it’s something like 4-5 years until there will be any chance to kick out the old guard again. There was already a reform movement and they ate shit 1-2 months ago.

      I have no sense that JT can organize at all outside of creating media. I didn’t hear anything from him about the reform movement though I wasn’t paying that close of attention to his stuff around then.

    “Accused of Black Nationalism”.

    But I’m supposed to think CPUSA ISN’T worthy of top-to-bottom condemnation? I’m supposed to think these hard-c crackers have any chance of being any kind of allies? I said it once, I’ll say it again; I’ll say it until my teeth are broken, until my throat is shredded, until my lungs can’t push air anymore:

    Death. To. CPUSA.
