  • CPUSA has been doing it since 1930s.

  • Material conditions creating more commies than anything else.

  • Yeah. It all started with Popular Front strategy of the Communist Party USA (1936). During the 1930s, the CPUSA did have a visible presence in unions, black freedom struggles, and anti-fascist coalitions, but this did not come about due to the popular front strategy, but in spite of it. The major successes of the CPUSA in organizing workers occurred before the popular front was implemented when the party experimented with militant united front tactics and still maintained its revolutionary identity. After adopting the popular front strategy, the CPUSA retreated from all that and, in the interests of the Soviet bureaucracy, the Communists ceased all their criticism of the labor bureaucracy, the Roosevelt administration, and liberal organizations. Over the course of the 1930s, the class character of the CPUSA changed as its members took up positions within the labor bureaucracy and clamped down on working class militancy.

    As a result of the popular front, the CPUSA retreated from its advocacy of communist revolution and ended up as the “left-wing” of the Democrats and the New Deal. The “hidden secret” of why the anticommunist Michael Harrington (the founder of DSA) idealized the popular front was not because it was proof that socialism had mass influence or spoke the language of ordinary people. Rather, he liked the popular front because it was when the communists ceased to be revolutionary and gave up on militant action, self-organization of the working class, and “sectarian” political independence in order to become loyal allies of the labor bureaucracy and liberals. In other words, it was when communists acted like Michael Harrington's ideal of a democratic socialist.

  • The sheer difference between the consumerist and hyperindividualistic Hollywood and the artistic and expressive Soviet films!

  • State & Revolution has created so many commies here.

    Today I Learned the founder of DSA was an anti-communist, anti-soviet, anti-revolutionary leftist who believed socialism would be achived by Democratic Party collaboration and reform politics.

  • Maté had been critical of all people who were critical of Noam Chomsky. I actually wonder what he thinks about Noam's anti-communist works if he actually believes his "lifetime of work" as viabke theory.

  • Major Chomsky fanboy. Actually defends his writings.

  • "The last capitalist we hang shall be the one who sold us the rope." - Unknown.

  • “It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.” - I.V. Dzugashvili, Soviet Georgian philosopher and political activist.

  • The first European to discover Australia was Williem Janszoon (Dutch). James Cook was the first Brit to do so.

    Edit: Willem, not William.

  • They are gonna have an interesting time if they read Deng's literature and find out he was a huge Mao admirer and implemented Mao Zedong thought in nation building.

  • Whenever liberals hear the term 'Dictatorship of the proletariat' : 😱

  • Reading Marx, Engels, and Lenin is equally enlightening and depressing because the capitalists didn't change their ways at all. They only adapted to the new technologies to oppress the workers.

  • Time to start my vibes based politics era.
