Joe Simps for the D biden-horror : CPUSA co-chair Sims: Fighting fascist threat a top priority Peoples world Article

Excerpts:

CHICAGO – “The battle lines are clear. We’re fighting a fascist danger at home and a genocidal war abroad. And to defeat the danger at home, we’ve got to defeat the war abroad.” CPUSA co-chair Joe Sims gave this warning on June 7, as he keynoted the 32nd National Convention of the Communist Party USA.

Sims also spoke of the “raw racism at the very heart of MAGA,” and added, “Immigrants are a special target.

“First, they tried the wall,” Sims said of Trump’s scheme to keep migrants from entering the U.S. across the Mexican border. “Then the Muslim ban, now they’re planning concentration camps. That’s right, we said it. And if they come for immigrants in the morning, they’re damn sure coming for us at noon.

But we’re not at fascism yet, of course, Sims said. And that moment of respite – for however long it lasts – means that for now, “There is room for struggle. Let us use that space to fight for a ceasefire in Gaza and for an end to the war in Ukraine. Let us use it to stop the expansion of NATO, end the blockade of Cuba, and bring the Cold War against China to a close.

He then turned to the historic question the Communist movement has always asked, “What, then, is to be done?”

you are not him dennis-stare

As Sims spoke to wild peals of applause, he said, “On the one side, there’s the ruling class forces of white supremacy and MAGA pulling the country apart. On the other, there’s the working-class forces of democracy pulling the country together.”

In which the CPI blames Hamas for the Gaza war, denounces the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood (i guess palestinians just have to get used to dying) and washes the hands of the israeli state by claiming that its netanyahoo the problem and not the State of ISSael itself

I don't know why JT from Second Thought continues to associate himself with these people.

the local chapters are far far far more radical than the party leadership

If your ML party can't do democratic centralism what's the point

If your branch is far more radical than the leadership why are you in that org at all

Same situation in Communist Party Japan, and I assume a lot of places where the biggest Party is more or less captured.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 4 weeks ago

The local chapters need to leave the org though. There is no point if this can't be fixed, get into a real and fully working org instead.

Strange, he's def left of them and calls genocide Joe a fascist... I'd assume he'll break it off after this.
