MAGA Communists exist nearly entirely online, yet the ACP manages to infiltrate leftist subreddits and get invited to international events. We need to be wary and vigilant against them and all PatSocs.

I've seen these maga communists at the Uni in my town sadly. It would seem you can find them offline as well.

Oh really? I'm surprised! I've only seen ML and Trotskyist orgs (in addition to DSA, etc). Might be a Uni thing? I haven't seen them publicly.

To my understanding the group at the uni splintered off from another fringe communist org in the area and joined with ACP when they formed.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

What refusing to join a serious org results in, I suppose. Just join PSL, FRSO, or even some of the better DSA local branches, there's no need for people to join these odd splinter groups that get overtaken by PatSocs.

Sigh they've been at some local events

Ugh, they need to be sternly combatted in every instance. We cannot let the PatSocs overtake the Marxist-Leninist movement and steer people in a Strasserite direction.

Sure, but you also have to make sure aspiring Marxists don't get led astray. Organizing and building power means opposing resolutely opportunists and grifters like this.

Fuck the ACP, especially their leadership (I use that term loosely). They practice tailism at best, but their clear connections with the esoteric fascism of LaRouche and Dugin, and personal connections to Gabbard (through that loser Hinkle), makes me think they're more like what this image shows - fascist infiltrators that are grifting their way into prominence and fooling well-meaning people into funding and legitimizing their petit-bourgeois bullshit.

Not to mention their dismissal of queer and women's liberation - which are fundamental to any real socialist movement - and their admiration for US 'revolutionary' history (specifically 1776 and the 1950s) with no regard for the survivors of the settler-colony's genocide, slavery, and oppression, all which illuminate just how empty and meaningless their socialist aesthetics really are. These clowns and their ideas can't disappear fast enough.

Do people not known about the ACP (American "Communist" Party) branching off from the CPUSA and pushing for "patriotic socialism"? Do people agree with the ACP? Or is this getting downvotes because people don't care about leftist spaces?

The ACP are modern day Strasserites.
