It would be the silliest timeline if CPUSA's liberal suck up strategy finally worked.

I'll genuinely retire into the deep alaskan wilderness and live an anprim lifestyle if that happens.

We should probably all do that anyway. Just, like, ignore the shit for a while.

There are enough computer people here that I'm pretty sure our commune will have great internet connectivity.

i mean they may as well tell their democrat audience to support CPUSA since CPUSA just tells everyone to vote democrat rather than actually trying to build any sort of communist party that actually does anything. they literally just take donations then funnel radical energy into democratic votes
i have some good things to say about cpusa and when i first moved back to the US and needed a leftist org to join i will say the way they reach out to their members and connect them with other local members is a good thing. but then they just tell you to vote democrat.

Using leftist infighting to make Mamdani more palatable to liberals is pretty funny

Carl [he/him] - 2mon
I didn't read this so much as supporting the CPUSA as supporting Mamdani by trying to draw a distinction between him and "actual communists".

I think this is meant to be a joke and not really showing respect for CPUSA, though mind you that's just because they have blanket disrespect for anything communist rather than even a specific opinion on the CPUSA. They may as well be interviewing a flat earther in their eyes, with the caveat that Sims is right about red-baiting (but they also didn't need a "communist's" input in order to be aware of that).

In hog logic terms its like going to Martin Kerr to ask if Jake Lang is a fascist or just proud J6 MAGA patriot.

I'm sort of ok with liberals adopting the "socialism" and "communism" since I can easily hold them to account. Yes I know radlib "anarchists" or soc dems are annoying online, but IRL (and sometimes online) I can easily out-smug them cause I have read a little bit of theory.
"Oh you're a communist because you think everybody should be paid the same wage? It sounds like you aren't up to speed on the concepts of idealism vs. materialism and the LTOV, let me explain..."
Or "THE US GOVERNMENT IS CAPITLAISM HQ, THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED, AND THERE IS NOTHING SALVAGEABLE THERE" (emphatically, not loudly)

Next they gotta teach them the difference between good communists (cpusa and dsa) and the tankies (everyone else lol)
Alaskaball in main
Did you hear the daily show libs are now pushing CPUSA?
I'm not even shitting you, they interviewed Joe Sims.

Not surprising. On inauguration day they were protesting outside the capitol with Amy Klobuchar
Joe Sims when Joe SimCity walks in
They also seemed to mock him, but I do think it's incredibly funny that they did this.
