CPUSA does not classify as any Marxist party
They have no international solidarity and I've met multiple prominent CPUSA members who vocally support reformism and the police state
What type of party is it when leaders can say stuff like this and not get purged?
At least DSA doesn't pretend to be anything they're not and still accomplish more material good than CPUSA lol
This is why I moved to build a PSL branch in my area instead of a CPUSA branch
We don't have "branches;" we have districts.
Actually, the CPUSA has met several times with the Communist Party of China.
Also, we support prison and police abolition.
If CPUSA is an ML party and presumably, practices democratic centralism, can I ask why those CPUSA members in local branch has not been purged?
I'm not going to doxx them but their local branch only has ~4 members (and thus, have a complete control over that branch...) but it's in a cultural major and very politically engaged metropolitan US city so I assume they should be aware of their existence
CPUSA chapters being small, doing semi-random things, and supporting Dems is definitely a thing. They seem to vary wildly across chapters.
We don't expel members based on hearsay.
Yes, we practice DemCent.
Yes, CPUSA is an ML org.
No, we do not have "branches." We have districts and then clubs and sometimes even smaller collectives.
Hmmmmm
Please specify your edits or otherwise you may come off as "edit trolling."
I just changed pronouns for more anonymity
Well, it seems that the message is bigger, but fine, I will take your word for it, I suppose.
Right, and more details on how important the city that their district/club/collective are in is but the main substance is exactly the same
Well, we have several clubs in the Five Boroughs in NYC and we have maybe two for each of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. We have a couple places where we have clubs in cities.
California is a wasteland for us.
We're growing by leaps and bounds in the Mid-west and South (albeit too spread apart) but not so much in the West Coast.
For the record, the organization order is district > club > collective (I think there's a specific name for this but I forgot because it's not often used).
I can't help you here, but I trust that the things will turn out alright, but you can't always be sure, and I can't vouch for every single person in the org.
That makes sense then. The annoying part is that these members are in a bunch of other orgs mostly to network and make connections for their own events/actions but they'll also spread pro-cop rhetoric to the point where they're well known in the organizing scene for that here
We've posted several pro-abolition articles in cpusa.org and even the PW, to a degree.
Like I said, I can't vouch for every member, and I've seen some real bad ones get kicked out.
Not saying that you shouldn't trust your lying eyes, but I can't always vouch for each and every person in the org.
We do mutual aid in my district.
Also, CPUSA delegations have met with the Communist Party of Cuba and have had no incidents.
DSA has had these incidents though.
Actually, CPUSA is a Marxist-Leninist party, per its constitution, party program, and several documents.
Not necessarily attacking the CPUSA, but documents are meaningless without enforcing them. According the multiple documents the US should be doing a LOT of things different.
We enforce them and even teach Marxism-Leninism.
