Communist Party USA

[sans-culotte]

Comrades,

I'm becoming involved with the Communist Party despite my opposition to supporting Hilary Clinton in words or in deeds. I believe that the United States needs a true vanguard, and what better organ than the Communist Party. We saw that the Democratic Party is very insular and is well equipped to put down any overtly leftist insurrection. I look to the political landscape and I see people endorsing the Green Party and Jill Stein, while waiting with bated breath for them to adopt an anti-capitalist position.

I propose, instead, to reform the reformists! The Communist Party is the organization that, by rights, belongs to the revolutionary working class. We should root out the neo-liberal influence and join ranks with the Party. A cleansing is in order and who will accomplish this but us? Bernie has brought socialism out of the closet and the material conditions in the United States are ripe for revolution. Let us drop all manner of sectarianism and take hold of what rightly belongs to all of us. This is a call for solidarity, this is a call for all revolutionaries in the United States. Let us take back our Party!

Bernie Sanders did nothing but serve the democratic parties interests, hes the oldest member of the US senate and therefore embodies the democrats even more than Clinton. Most people who recently want to vote for Jill Stein are just obsessed with tabloid garbage scandals. Not one of them can name a single policy they disagree with her on, or why. There is in fact more disaffected Bernie supporters flocking towards Gary Johnson a conservative neo fascist. Who's normal supporters are the usual NRA, sovereign citizen, jews did 9/11, type of crowd. Now does the former soviet funded FBI infiltrated CPUSA deserve to be rejuvenated if not purely just for its name? Perhaps, but it shouldn't be done out of pure opportunism, or in the name of the bourgeois political spectacle that really just exists to get the cocaine running Clinton's another term.

I personally wouldn't mind Donald Trump as president could you imagine OWS or BLM with him in charge?

I can't, because it'd be suppressed using more violent means.

I think that the CPUSA should be restored to Marxism, not due to its name, but due to its history. It is a direct result of October and needs to act as such. As an American communist, it should be my party by rights. We can see that the Left has tried time and again to change the Democratic Party from within, and who is to say that we should not change the Communist Party from within?

I've actually become active with a local club and I'm very excited to be a member of the Communist Party. I'm tired of seeing Menshevism spread like a plague throughout the working class and, goddamn it, I'm going to do something about it. We should have the word Communist inscribed on all our banners, so I don't see this as anything other than re-claiming the Communist Party. It is our Party, not that of the plutocrats.

I'm no Marxist-Leninist, but I'd be curious to hear about your experiences in the CP as someone not falling into their liberalism.

Why not just join their split, the Party of Communists?

I've just recently become associated with the CP, but there's real revolutionary potential in some of the members I've met. In truth, I would have joined the Party of Communists prior to joining the CPUSA, but only the CP has an active presence in Cleveland. Therefore, I'd rather take it upon myself to join their ranks and bring Marxism back to the Communist Party. To take back what has always been ours.

I would also like to hear about your experiences with the Communist Party.
I have been thinking lately about how truly powerless a person is without an organization, at least a group of comrades to share some observations about the miserable state of things and to attempt to change them.

Party politics in the Eurocommunist sense is bullshit (ie Communist Party of Japan), but I'll assume you're going for more of Trotskyist route of thinking. But even then, Trotskyism is still based on democratic centralist Leninism, and while I might sound like a sectarian scumbag I still will hold my position that a Vanguard is preposterous, especially when the party that it is involved in has known to been collaborating with Marxist-Leninists and the US government.

Instead, support a grassroots* movement like the IWW, thats what I plan to do. Currently the only established political party I support is indeed the green party. I can point out that most of their members are left-leaning democrats, however recently they have made an extraordinary change to democratic socialism (worker's control over the means of production), something that has certainly caught my attention. Jill Stein herself is also quite liberal, but they need her to get into the mainstream since other libertarians are assumed to be kooky-randroids.

So personally, either IWW or the Greens, maybe both.
