Joe Simps for the D : 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
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.”

SSettler KKKolonial Unity : The Communist Party of Israel greets CPUSA’s 32nd Convention twitter
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
how do you manage to be on the Right of the DSA??
If there’s no mechanism to rid the party of this moron then I don’t see why there are any comrades still organising through it. If the existing leadership won’t get rid of him then the whole bunch are reactionary. How many decades of dedication is it going to take for any group of real and dedicated communists to root them out? It’s a lost cause.
People gotta sit down and ask themselves exactly how long it will realistically take to achieve and whether that’s a timeline worth doing or whether it’s better to be organising through alternatives.
CPUSA was literally half (or more than half on the high end) feds in the 60s. You can’t fix that.
sadly there is no democratic mechanism to get rid of him
Also Joe sims and his friends are the owners of the all the assets of the CPUSA
Extremely well written link.
This seems like a lot of effort when the people that aren’t revisionists could simply migrate to another ML party that isn’t clearly fucked up procedurally in so many ways. What’s the point in spending one to three decades fighting this out and waiting for these people to die when people could simply move.
All this agitation and trying to fight things out procedurally and for what? What’s the outcome going to be? The outcome will be that these people stay in place until they’re dead and they get to appoint whoever follows them so those people are almost certainly going to be exactly like they are.
Fighting in CPUSA appears to be a dead end to me. The mechanisms are what matter here. Really lay out to yourselves how many decades this will take vs how immediate moving to another party would be. It’s really fucking obvious what the correct path is.
It seems like they’re going to just appoint their failchildren at this point since the finances are entirely controlled by a few families.
Yeah which is exactly why there is no point in fighting it. The problem can’t be resolved without a mechanism and one simply does not exist. It’s an organisational dead end.
