CPUSA is trapped in amber from the civil rights era of politics.

Except there were widespread riots in the civil rights era, violent unrest was a major factor behind the civil rights act. They’re trapped in the version of the civil rights era that we learn about in high school.

iirc there were still many orgs using the same sort of nonviolence rhetoric at the time. I wasn't saying the represent the entirety of the civil rights movement.
