Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

As a USian, probably DSA (rad-lib), or CPUSA (leadership is revisionist, much of it’s probably based).

Leadership of CPUSA is not revisionist.

Comrade, what do you think about this article in particular?

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 2 years ago

It was meant to make fun of trends at the times regarding Marxism and Marxism-Leninism.

In truth, this was how many communists in the USA and in the West thought, even if they changed since then. People are taking an article that was made in jest and turning it into something that it isn't and it certainly doesn't reflect the co-chair's views now nor the National Committee of the party.

In truth, beyond that, I don't think much of it, I suppose.

PSL and WWP are much better than either CPUSA or the Democrat shills at DSA.

There’s also PCUSA and other more irrelevant, but based parties

No, I disagree with this as well; I find their constant attacks against my org to be annoying and, often, me and my comrades are essentially ignoring them while they focus on lobbing insults are way. I've often tried not to get involved in online arguments with them (well, except for one particular time that was a big exception), but they seem belligerent, even with other orgs, despite some very real issues that their org seems to have that they never even address when confronted about it. That's what makes their tiff with us annoying, honestly.

They’re pretty based for what I can tell, but they do have a bit of the grudge against CPUSA. I don’t know too much about it though. Have you heard of Gus Hall? All I know of the dispute is PCUSA says he was a leader in early CPUSA, and they don’t talk about him, and are forgetting their roots.

I do not like them because of the amount of PatSocs that tend to join the organization, never mind Chris Helali being in it.

To be honest, their grudge goes back to their founding in 2014, when admittedly the whole Sam Webb affair came to its climax and he was ousted from the party. Angelo D'Angelo obviously had had enough after that, but honestly, some of his and his members attacks against the party seem to either indite everyone or not taken into account the realities of the time, in my honest opinion.

Of course, the truth is, I wouldn't care about PCUSA either way and, in truth, did not back then when I eventually joined the CPUSA, but of course, I find their attacks against us annoying and so it seems I'm forced to sometimes contend with them online.
