Reviewing the Communist Party USA

interrupting guys we're gonna talk about

the revival of the cp usa looks like

it's happening guys

ron paul's in the chat it's happening

it's happening

here we go the time has come we're

getting back into the electoral arena

are you ready

to vote for a communist the problem

is that right now this is a big click

bait who are these communists

let's see

the site design isn't terrible

site design isn't terrible people are

looking for more fundamental solutions

to the problem everyday life

and the environmental crisis

um

part of the discussion party building

this year we proposed including business

and running communist candidates

okay these are going to be the points

they're going to be giving

we make a unique contribution to

combating crisis faced by

people

looking for answers capitalism cannot

solve our society's fundamental problems

as the last election demonstrated

people's movement has propelled

victories that laid the basis for

creating programs that improve the lives

of the working class

um more people are looking at socialism

and rejecting anti-communism

this is a big thing that the cpu usa is

paying attention to and which is spoken

it's actually responsible for a lot of

newfound interest in the cpusa

the cpu usa needs to be wary and realize

that the element in question is coming

from a profoundly petite bourgeois

professional managerial element that

doesn't have much to do

with the american working class and here

you go

the dsa these people if you allow

these people to define the cpu usa

you're going to do you're going to

destroy anything

about the cpusa that has us has a

fighting chance

remember who this party was formed by

let's go back to the history our

revolution

independent socials working families

party this was actually aoc's opponents

joe crowley was run running under this

party

this was your local level scaring the

hell out of the ruling class

you have you haven't been doing a good

job of that though

and they haven't been doing that either

do a study of where these candidates

have won

this is important but that also comes

with self-criticism

i implore you when you do this study

also have

self-criticism about

whether that reflects rather than the

viability of these areas for social

candidates

the class nature of these organizations

and the need

to have a different approach a different

character a different type of propaganda

a different

type of message so that you can win

the former trump supporters

yeah working families party endorsed

warren do a study of where these

candidates want but also use that as a

levy of criticism

if they're not winning the american

working class

don't replace your conception of what

the american working class is

seriously hold them to that as a point

of contention

and as a point that the communist party

usa can use to distinguish itself from

them

to succeed where they fail

that's very important approach our

campaigns as serious campaigns to win

just to educate i like this a lot

what is it educate agitate organize

issue is that it's usually just agitate

agitate

agitate and educate

so i like this serious campaigns to win

not just educate or make a statement for

purposes of propaganda i like that

best candidates come out of the struggle

in the community and alliance with our

partners

reject advanced solutions but also very

practical questions of people's daily

lives and needs i like

that i really like that i think they're

learning from china

what do you guys think in the chat i

think they're learning from china

i think they're learning from china

this is super important very practical

questions of people's daily

lives and needs this is a good

direction good direction

denise emphasizes that you have to solve

the problems of potholes

trash collection excellent i love this

whole thing

i love this paragraph this gets

infrared's endorsement i love this

this is based yeah

yeah but this is the communist party

it's not the psl this is the communist

party

okay and um they're formulating it in a

very simple way i don't see any

moralizing tone in this paragraph

i don't see any bullshit

um they are the youth are pro-china and

is inspired by their example

i hope those youth are not coming from

the dsa perspective because

this party needs to be different from

the dsa if it's going to be anything

do they say how to join them yes they do

there's a button right here

i'm not endorsing you to join anything

if you want to join go on their website

and there's a button right here to join

there's a button here to donate

but i'm going to fairly give you my

criticisms and what i think are the

strengths

so i'm going to point out what i think

are weaknesses of the party right now

and what i think are strengths

what they're saying in this paragraph if

they take it seriously

is a big strength you need to

formulate advanced solutions to very

practical questions of people's daily

lives that's very important to me okay

collective discussion in party on

national district club level

how to run where to run school board

water commission with

congress importance of collectively

reaching conclusions about who and where

when to run this is

contentious i think that

a party today and i know this is a tough

issue

needs to recreate democratic centralism

so you don't my experience is that and

others can contradict

i stand to be contradicted i'm not

saying i'm god and i'm i'm the only

one who experienced matter

but i actually don't think the

importance is reaching consensus

i don't think it's possible i think the

importance is

reaching conclusions which 40 percent of

people disagree with

and still being able to ride by those

conclusions

without people breaking line you need

democratic centralism

so it's not so much about collectively

reaching conclusions

as it is about reaching conclusions and

having the majority

stick with them even if many of them

disagree with that

okay that's also important that's a very

important

tenet of democratic centralism you know

um about who and when to run including

with our partners and struggle

concentrate on down ballot races

i'm an idiot what does this mean down

ballot

which stimulus contested offices in

descending order

oh okay lesson okay i know what it means

now

sorry concentrate on down ballot races

a quick little tidbit and i know no one

cares about my little tidbits

but this is my show i'm the one on the

show right now

so i have the right to say this nobody

has an obligation to listen

i have the right to say it because this

is such an aside

technically this is a good strategy but

regarding the cpus says overall strategy

what the cpu is essay is missing

is an up ballot strategy

do i mean a strategy for

winning big positions no not necessarily

but i just mean to say having a

vision and having some kind of

position as regards the central and

executive power

of america what does a cp

usa state what is that

what position do you have about the

struggle for power

at the central level because that was

the strength of bernie's movement

bernie's movement was strong because

bernie

the idea of bernie was a guy

who represents the american working

class at the highest possible seat

of power or verticality

is what that's what i mean by

verticality you need to be

up on that you need to have

a strong position there i get

i like this strategy concentrate on down

by the races

but you also need to have your own

vision you need to have your own up

ballot

stakes you can you need to have

verticality

not just horizontality you understand

you need that verticality

you know what i'm saying you need that

sense of executive power

the thing that can unite and can be

can contest american politics at a

national

level that's what you need cpusa

don't just be a local grassroots arm

of the democratic party machine you have

to

you are in a unique position to create a

base that can rival the two-party

duopoly

um districts

think about where and if it's possible

to have candidates how the races elevate

the struggle in the area but also

consider a couple races as a national

concentration

flexibility line to run on

depends on local situation on communist

party line

as independents in nonpartisan elections

democrat but especially in alliance with

[Music]

others

okay on communist party line as

independence in nonpartisan election

democrat especially in alliance with

others the most

question is running not what line that

is a tactical question

principled question is the issues

what i don't really understand this

i don't really understand this hold on

let me try to understand but also

consider a couple races as a national

concentration

flexibility on what line to run on

depends on the local situation

on communist party line what are you

saying

you're saying that it's permissible to

run

on a line that's not the communist party

line but as

independence as in nonpartisan elections

as democrat and in alliance with others

the most

this is stupid dude unless i'm an idiot

this is stupid unless i'm a fucking

idiot

it sounds like what they're saying is

that the most important thing is running

and not

actually representing the communist

party this is a gross deficiency in

verticality in my view

in my view this is a gross deficiency of

verticality

the communist party line needs to be

adaptable

adaptable to local situations i'm not

saying

have a dogmatic central line with which

you impose on every local situation

but this communist party line should be

adaptable to those local situations

you need verticality because you need to

be a

you need to be able to represent the

communist

party as a serious political party in

america

that can rival the two-party duopoly

so i don't think i agree with this but

i'm not sure what

what the overall strategy here is as far

as this is concerned

the important question is running not on

what line

that is a tactical question

let me do some criticism here my

issue with calling this a tactical

question

is that i understand what they're trying

to say tell the public you're a democrat

but in reality you're the communist

party and that's giving us power

inadvertently whatever

my issue with that is this sounds a lot

like a lot of the elections

that we've seen these progressive

politicians getting elected

and so many organizations claim them our

revolution claims them the dsa claims

them

and then but in reality all they've done

is identify with all these organizations

and the progressive candidate

turns out when all is said and done to

be part of the

left wing of the democratic party and

and they have a superficial allegiance

to all sorts of fucking

labels and lists that in no way pin them

down as representing that

that's what happened with aoc by the way

she was a justice democrat she was a dsa

member

and all that kind of shit the issue with

aoc

is she didn't rep her party she didn't

rep

her organization if she did that she

would be

signaling an actual alternative to the

democrats

it's so important that you rep a

communist party line

not because of the contents of the line

because of the form

of repping the communist party

independently from the democrats and

from the two-party duopoly

in my view this is a disastrous strategy

and it may have worked

uh decades ago

when oh it doesn't matter what line you

run on just give the communist party

actual power but the appearance of power

really the communist party usa needs to

read baudelaire

that guy bottle art right you need to

understand the importance of appearance

you need to read the laws and bought a

lard and all those people you need to

understand

that repping shit signaling and

appearance

is what is fundamental in the uh

attention economy

not um

not struck not uh you know structural

uh what is the word operational power

not operational power which is what

you're asking for

here basically run as whatever line you

want but be answerable to the communist

party i guess

not operational structural power but

clout and rep in information that is

what's important today

lard yeah i don't know how to call it

criticism and the subcommittee questions

got raped should we run in the

democratic party

are we giving up our independence

our class approach democratic party is a

bourgeois party and can't be reformed it

was agreed that we should always

emphasize the importance of candidates

coming out of struggles in the community

running in coalition with these

what does that even mean i need to know

what this code's for because i don't

know what this means

running a coalition with those we have

been active with

example of denise who won despite a real

red-baiting campaign

and was defended by the coalition she

ran with i vehemently

disagree with this basically she she won

by the strike of a coalition despite

that she was a communist

because people consider that coalition

communist anyway and just got bogged

down in the

tsunami of fucking bullshit i disagree

with this so profoundly

you need the communist party you the

communist party

you need your own independent basis

you cannot dilute yourself

in uh struggles of the community which

you know which render you

it's it's almost like if you're secretly

a furry

you've you've re you've

you've diluted the significance of being

a communist

the same thing as being a fucking furry

you've

you've bogged your shit down and diluted

yourself

into a co a left of center coalition

which in the ultimate and final sense is

just the fucking

left wing of the democratic party that

is its real party

this is the disastrous approach it may

help you get

candidates elected but in no way are you

making the communist party more powerful

in doing so rather you're relativizing

and diluting

the significance of a communist party as

something separate from the democrats

you need to have party independence of

some kind

it's not a you shouldn't use the example

of denise who won

despite the red branding commitment she

didn't win off the back of the communist

party

she won off the back of a left of center

coalition

you shouldn't align yourself with the

left of center coalition

because this is the left wing of the the

grassroots left wing of the democratic

party

which is taking the democratic party

itself down a road that estranges it

from the american working class

do not go down this road of the dos dsa

communist party

you are supposed to be the party of the

american working class

not the party of the psychotic deranged

professional managerial class

which is what you're talking about when

you're talking about the left of center

coalitions

you're talking about psychotic overly

socialized and overly urbanized

professional managerial elites who have

gone crazy and lost their marbles do not

go down that fucking road

they don't represent the future they

represent represent the psychosis of the

democrats

biden's election has already rendered

them irrelevant they're not going to be

around in a few fucking years

you need to create yourself a lasting

do not be deceived by aoc and all these

dsa progressives

they're a passing phenomenon they're

going to be gone pretty soon

you need to build your own independent

foundation

that's what the communist party needs to

do the communist party

needs to acquire an independent

foundation in the american working class

do not fucking just ride off of the back

of coalitions because these fucking

coalitions

are dirty democrat bullshit

do not get bogged down in this brewing

american civil war

do not you need to be a centrist party

a real centrist in the stalinist sense

centrist

in the 1980s and 1990s we ran a number

of candidates every campaign helped to

build the working-class movement

and it's aimed to build the party this

will be true today

there's no excuse for you the american

communist party

to be in such an abysmal shape it is

okay

in the 80s and i and i never heard of

them and nobody i know has ever heard of

them

and if that's what built your party holy

shit

you're holding this is your example of

shining success

to draw from

it's not good dude that's not good dude

everyone outside of the bubble sees

these as your failure the high point of

your failure actually

you know

it won't be true today and it wasn't

true back then

here we go with the what have you done

for the left mean

to be fair they lost all funding from

the ussr in the 80s because they were

anti-gorbachev

wow but i know what i'm just saying

i'm just saying it you know i

here's my issue i'm not trying to say

i'm not going to downplay the

significance of the their struggles back

then and stuff

i'm just trying to say there seems to be

a very

clear lack of in a lack of

awareness on part of the communist party

that right now is your new opportunity

this is not the 80s

it's not nice you have a unique and new

opportunity

now there's a fundamental political

realignment in america

the political distinctions are breaking

down the american empire is collapsing

we're witnessing the rise of china which

is itself led by a communist party

and this is your moment this is your 15

minutes of fame

and if you wanted to make it longer than

15 minutes do not squander it

because you can become something you

know this is an opportunity to become

something

what is the cpusa saying here they're

basically saying

they're in it for the long game it's

just going to be like the 80s and 90s

we're going to grow ourselves a little

bit

and we're going to persist it's not

enough it's time to take risks

it's time to take risks because you're

squandering your potential

results of survey district we surveyed

districts to determine exactly

where we have elected and appointed

officials and wherever there have been

discussions on running candidates and

districts

districts are welcome and discussion

of several elected and appointed

officials who ran and won because they

are known in their community part of the

struggle

but are they known for being communists

there's been an informal rather than

formal discussion in districts about

running there is recognition of the need

to run

someone who wants to run recommendations

okay let's get down to the 10

recommendations

oh boy let's get down to this

can i can you get an interview with the

cpu to say managers

i'm open to it my only issue is that

apparently i'm blacklisted by the cpusa

and uh that i'm banned from the party

and i'm not allowed to join

so i don't know

apparently they all hate me

um so let's say you're running for

office what's your pitch to the american

people

before i got to the point of running for

office i would have much more of a

foundation

then pulling something out of my ass

what happened because uh because i want

to tell you

we made enemies before we made friends

we make enemies of leftists

leftists are in the seep usa

and they talked a lot of shit about me

and they convinced the cp usa that i'm

no good

basically yeah

how do they know they ban you i don't

know it for certain it's just what i've

heard

i've heard the cpusa has explicitly said

i am forever banned and blacklisted from

their party forever

which is fine i don't have i'm not uh

you know i don't feel like i'm the one

losing out when it comes to that you

know

um they ban you because they see you as

a threat

i don't think it's that i think what

happened is basically that i made

enemies of established leftists the

established leftists remember the whole

thing about gatekeepers

they're cool locks so they went to their

fellow cool locks and convinced them

that i'm the biggest piece of shit ever

and they they saw that in the lawyer

we're gonna ban haws forever

and whatever you know i don't give a

fuck

um but i will say

whoever it is that banned me i want to

address you personally whoever it is

that banned me from the communist party

this brand right here doesn't belong to

you

i am infrared is going to grow as a

platform

we're going to draw more attention to

this brand

which means we're going to preponderate

more and more about how it's going to be

defined

into the future i'm not worried about

you banning me or doing whatever you

want

i don't give a fuck but all i'm gonna

say is

proof is in the fucking pudding if you

can get as popular as me

set up your own fucking platform to

define the discourse

and define what the cpusa is going to

mean

i welcome you to try and do it but for

now

cp usa that meme cpusa

2036 that's something being defined

here on the infrared show and you're the

past

and we're the future you want to prove

me wrong prove me wrong

as far as i can tell we're we are

already

the reason why a lot of people have

joined your party

and that's not going anywhere okay ban

me all you want

pay me all you want a lot of people are

joining your party just because of me

and they're going to decide ultimately

what the party makes of me

not you who the fuck banned me i don't

fucking know

okay include discussion on running

candidates as part of the overall

discussion on building a party

have a goal wherever possible especially

in local elections there should be a

collaboration with the national party

industry's club

uh possibly concentrate nationally on

one or two candidates where we go out

and want to put research

this is important this is kind of

verticality what i'm talking about

this is kind of what i'm talking about

with verticality you know

develop guidelines for how to consider a

candidacy and a collective process of

deciding how who and where to run and

carry out the effort

it should include collect connections to

local struggles

and relationship building it should

include collaboration between local and

national organization decision making

develop a national platform which can be

adapted to state slash

local conditions school for candidates

develop guidelines and work with

candidates on how to run

um this is important super important

right here

but good luck in developing this um

school for national candidates develop

guidelines and work

candidates on how to run voter

registration education engagement turn

on

um

use 2021 to prepare and educate our

candidates it often takes running more

one time to get elected i feel like

they're focusing more

on winning

just for its own sake rather than

strengthening the party

is optics and optics is what matters

strengthen not only the party

operationally and structurally

strengthen the party in terms of its

appearance

in this information economy and this

information age

strengthen the name of communist party

usa

we've done that and i have no i've have

no experience organizing i have no

experience in politics

i'm a fucking nobody and we ourself have

made the party's image quite powerful

in a way that not a lot of other people

are doing

so that's important okay i'm not a tanki

and i'm not ready to get into the debate

oh it's eugene what's up

oh man uh reestablished progressive

public officials

a network of those who hold elected and

appointed public office who are in

around us as a way to

mutual support and action on policy

fuck him he's a little bitch

who who's a little bitch me

what did i do um hold the discussion on

voter suppression which would include

question of voter intimidation

study where the main local elections can

you run into uh

listen cp usa do not be listen you have

an opportunity now

because when these local elections come

around

the left is gonna get it's gonna be

wiped okay

look guys anyone else getting the heebie

jeebies

from this amazon vote does this for bold

how it's gonna be going forward you're

just gonna have the left lose a ton

because that's what i think too

that's what i think too i don't got the

heebie jeebies but i'm just saying

i'm aware of that i'm aware that seems

like what's going on

the c do cpo say do not be taken by

surprise

by an insight you could derive yourself

based on marxist materialist and class

analysis

which is what we offer do not fucking

allow yourself to be taken by surprise

when these fucking left of center

coalitions you're talking about

are basically wiped out and they get the

floor wiped with them

and they fucking lose big time and bigly

okay you have the opportunity to be

ahead of the game

and succeed where they are inevitably

going to fail because i'm telling you

they are going to fail i'm telling you

they're going to fail

biden got elected the american left is

in for a rude awakening if you pledge

yourself with this american left

you're going to share the same fate they

are i'm telling you right now there's no

future for the american left

there's none you want to know

evidence of this small evidence not even

the main evidence

but smallest type of evidence just look

at the way

their ideologists bread tube

look at how now they have to define

themselves exclusively by their

opposition to tankies

look at the explosive growth of this new

trend

uh reddit are neoliberal

liberals in america whether you like it

or not

are increasingly becoming right wing

liberals in america are wising up to the

fact

that they're actually fucking liberals

in the european sense of the word

so all of these caveats that bread tube

adds they're the minority majority of

liberals in america are silicon valley

technocrat type liberals reddit r

neoliberal type literal liberals

that's the future of the left as it

currently exists in america

and you're going to be taken by surprise

because

the people who are going to lose out the

mo i'm going to tell you this is my

prediction ready

here's who's going to lose democratic

socialist and this includes bread tube

and inclusive

they're done they're going to lose the

worst

um traditional trumpers

are gonna lose the second the second

worst

traditional trumpers their story is not

over

but for now the first chapter of it is

over

now people who are gonna gain the most

from the transformations at hand

are are slash neoliberal types

they have the most future the people who

have the most

future is this new political realign

where i'm socially liberal but also

economically liberal

that's basically the fucking future of

the left in america

those are the people who are actually

going to

have a future okay

yang gang will win next well half of

yang gang is that

it's just that feels bad don't say that

is the fact dude

do not fucking be surprised when it

happens because i've been prepared for

that for a long time that's exactly

what's going to fucking happen

neoliberal they are the beginning

they're not the big enemy dude they're

not the big

enemy because they are literally

they are literally a fucking

self-evident class enemy not

personal enemy i like destiny he's fine

but

on a political level they don't call

themselves

socialists and confuse people they are

what they are they're professional

managerials

and their ideological content

corresponds to that

the problem we're facing the reason

bread tube is the main enemy

because in ideological form

they identify with the working class

socialism

marxism communism they're using all

these words

but in actual class content they're no

different than r slash neoliberal

besides the ass side that they're

basically incompetent

amateur losers who are are in their

position they are in life

not because of their class position but

because they're the

shitty incompetent professional managers

the downwardly mobile failures

right who come from that stratum

and they feel entitled to that strata

but still come from there

that is why bread tubes the main enemy

okay

are celestial liberal type people

they're not the main enemy the neolibs

they're not the main enemy because

they're just like republicans we know

what they are they are what they are

that's it

bread tube is the main enemy the current

left in america who are appropriating

socialism

communism marxism and all that they are

the main fucking enemy okay

just wanted to clarify that anyway let's

continue

um maintain the subcommittee on

communist candidates as part of the

political action commission

to help carry out these recommendations

okay

sorry i got congestion

yeah they create confusion one side one

set

okay sorry hold on one second

okay okay i'm back i'm back

all right all right so basically um

i i just now just spitting out you don't

want to hear this

congestion and yeah i was spitting it

out

but um

anyway i'm glad to see the cpusa

is awakening from its slumber but i'm

concerned

that it is hopping on board the s

left of center coalition um

[Music]

and using this is the source of its

vital

revive revival when in fact

it is the defeat of trump

and the defeat of trump's movement and

the fact that many trumpers are now

political refugees

it should be the main reason why the

communist party is being awakened to the

call

because communists the

this dsa already exists your job isn't

to be

the dsa with a hammer and sickle

your job is to be the communist party

you should win the working class you

have a lot of political refugees now

you must win them they must be the

foundation of your movement

and your party not the professional

managerials

not young people living in the cities

not hipsters not dsa people

mainly millennial and older working

class people who haven't had contact

with bread tube who can be tapped into

possibly

we can take the trumpers the more

open-minded ones yeah

and see why is the cpusa jumping on a

sinking ship the strange thing is that

it's jumping on a sinking ship

but it's also awakening in a very

opportune time so i want to use this as

an opportunity

to try to speak reason

what do you think of bill wright's

socialism this goes back

very far and i'd fundamentally disagree

with it

the communist party in america to me

at least has to fundamentally diverge

from constitutionalism from the you

the whole okay let me tell you the point

of the communist party

the communist party leaned a little too

heavy in my goal in history

on the we're true american we're

americanist patriots america

socialism is americanism in the 21st

century the 20th century whatever

they lean too heavy on that stuff the

reason the communist party has relevance

now

is because there's a failure of

bourgeois democracy

failure of booze wild formalism failure

of constitutionalism

failure of bill of rights failure of

this type of

political foundation of america so the

communist party must intervene and say

we can make sense of that failure and we

can

we are an alternative to this uh

liberal failure of liberal this is what

i would say

the communist party usa must

be the antidote to the

failure of liberal democracy

not simply

add a red coating to liberalism it must

say

liberalism has failed bill of rights

constitution

this is not the foundation of politics

the meaning of proletarian dictatorship

must be revived revived yes in the

american context

revive yes without any dogmatism

revived yes without any phrase mongering

on any of that but nonetheless there is

a wisdom

in the phrase proletarian dictatorship

that must be learned from

the proletarian dictatorship

fundamentally differs

from the

proletarian dictatorship cannot be

premised

formally in terms of a bill of rights in

terms of a constitution

in terms of anything like that there can

be no bill of rights

as far as the proletarian dictatorship

is concerned

um party is so small

it all takes a few thousand people to

take it over and make it change course

yeah i mean yeah um

this is important important i wanted to

make socialism is common

more processed and more democratic usa

do not

lean heavy on this more democratic

bullshit

people don't care about being more

democratic

this is state department talking points

no one cares about this

the important thing here is prosperous

more prosperous

should be the thing you focus on in

terms of optics

bearer uh i guess that's

that that works prosperous is way more

important than democratic

remember learn from china now i'm not

saying you shouldn't

include uh the word democracy or be

allergic to it

but you need to emphasize that your type

of democracy is qualitatively different

than the state

department democracy so you shouldn't

lean heavy on the democracy rhetoric

not because we're against democracy as

communists

because our democracy is different our

democracy is people's democracy it's

qualitatively different

what i'm talking about what i'm talking

about

is not a dogmatic marxist

dream that i'm trying to impose on

reality at the expense of actually

getting things done

practically what i'm talking about is

actually practical

in its significance american liberal

democracy is

on the decline all observers have noted

this

this communist party has a unique

opportunity

to intervene here and

make meaning of the situation

um we make it

right now 99 of americans show the work

of producing all the products and

services of our economy

work together in person or online

who works online this is horrible dude

this is already terrible optics what do

you mean online who the fuck does this

appeal to

what do you fucking mean online

this is bullshit no they're talking

about the

pandemic who can work on who can work

through

zoom that's not a professional

managerial

this is fucking stupid dude this isn't

the working class

you're in a fucking bubble you're in a

fucking bubble dude

you shouldn't even said this at all this

is stupid

we work in factories and offices

we work in schools and stores work in

laboratories and hospitals

and work on farms and construction sites

well

one of these is not like the other i'll

tell you that one of these

is not like the other maybe two of them

are not like the other

um

but when it comes to reaping the rewards

of this collective labor

things get turned upside down okay

better world is possible this is a

horrible slogan by the way

in a social economy and the reason it's

a horrible slogan is because

you're not here to talk about a listen

americans see past

every possible scam that's ever been

proposed and most americans see this as

a scam

focus on the real world our world here

and now don't talk about a better world

in a socialist economy things get turned

right side up

um not that bad

listen ditch this shit about the fucking

planet

it's fucking stupid ditch it

bitch this shit about the planet it's in

no working class party should have this

anywhere near

their optics most people

listen when you say people and our

planet you're saying what macron

said that caused the fucking yellow vest

you may disagree with that but that's

the objective fucking

significance of what you're saying

planet

is virtue signaling toward professional

managerials that's what you're doing

your virtue signaling for them

okay um don't talk about our planet

with the people in the driver's seat

corporate properties would no longer be

number one instead the things america

could be okay

enough resources would be free to many

things

okay that this isn't horrible but why do

you talk about our planet

do not talk about our planet

because why not explain because

because there's nothing immediate or

concrete about this phrase

there's nothing immediate the thing this

connotes is bill gates it connotes

nothing

don't talk about our planet

it's a fucking type of empty virtue

singling that means nothing

do not be car do not have carl sagan's

ideology in your fucking party

how about that you mean that the

people's us

shouldn't have a bill of rights don't be

a jimmy carter party don't have any of

that jimmy carter bullshit in your

fucking party

if you're a working-class party you mean

that the people's u.s

shouldn't have a bill of rights above

and beyond the political sphere

no because the economic sphere is beyond

the sphere of political right

from a theoretical perspective this is

true and in actual reality

it's true too from a common sense

perspective don't

try to politicize what's not political

don't try to introduce

bourgeois formalism to the economy

that's what fucking voss does

it's the logical conclusion of that

there should be no new bill of rights we

already had a bill of rights we don't

need a new one

there's things about reality that are

not addressed by bourgeois formalism

if anything i'm more conservative if

anything the communist party can just

say

we will keep the constitution and bill

of rights

but there's things that those don't

address and that's where we're going to

intervene

and and they need to have an

overhaul of the judicial system first of

all so that they can just say

you can interpret the meaning

differently of the constitution and bill

of rights

because that's what it's all about is

interpretation because they're so

fucking vague

it's all about interpretation it's just

some esoteric scholastic bullshit they

can just do that for the sake of

legitimacy

if they want the legitimacy they can

just say we're not going to abolish the

constitution or the bill of rights

we're just going to sublate them we'll

keep them intact we'll preserve them

in washington dc and the museum will

preserve it as our tradition

as americans uh but

you're not going to pretend that this

document

bounds binds us from getting what needs

to be done

that's what the communist party's role

has to be

doing things that are not addressed

by the founding documents of american

democracy or the american republic

get dark mode please

this is the communist party website dude

this is not twitter

socialism equals life liberty and the

pursuit of happiness

uh i feel like marx in the critique of

gotham program

just in the sense that like am i just

being nitpicky over shit for theory

reasons because

theoretically this is a horrific

equation

this is not true dude one of these is in

the realm of bourgeois formalism the

other one represents the sublation of

that formalism

you can preserve this in some form in

the same way that china has a people's

democracy

and in the same way the soviet union had

a special soviet government

separate from the party dictatorship and

proletarian dictatorship

but don't equate them because they're

not the same by equating them you're

diluting and neglecting what makes this

part of the equation unique and

fundamental

the whole point is socialism must be

different

from this socialism let me emphasize

this is my critique right now the cpusa

productive critique

socialism does not elaborate upon

does not reinterpret the text

the sacred text of the american state

it addresses what that text

is unable to address there lies the

decisive significance

of socialism not in just reinterpreting

the meaning

of the sacred constitution but

insublating it

all together

just wanted to say that

in a social society people would get

paid the hard work they do

they would be rewarded for the

initiatives they take the difference

corporate big shots and hedge fund

managers could no longer walk

war racism sexism and homophobia would

lose their corporate sponsors

this is a stupid sentence superficially

speaking

all of these things are 100 percent

not corporate superficially

corporations virtue signal about racism

sexism and homophobia all the fucking

time

and you don't really sound any different

from them by just superficially talking

about these phrases

without giving without doing it in a

formally different way

yes there must be a proletarian position

on all of these matters

but you don't sound any different than

the bourgeois

position on them you don't distinguish

yourself in any meaningful way

and besides oh all of these things are

qualitatively different

both of these have in common the fact

that they're sexual

so they're related in a cursory way

but what does how can racism just be put

into a sentence

with sexism and homophobia it's

qualitatively fucking different

moreover how can war be put in the same

sentence as all of these things

it's also a qualitatively different

issue

don't be an intersectional party

don't call yourself the communist party

when you're peddling intersectionalism

you have dialectical materialism for a

reason

it's the declaration of independence

sorry i'm stupid dude i'm a fucking

idiot but

the point stands okay the point stands

the point stance the same point stance

bill of rights under socialism

would be built on the strong foundation

freedom of speech freedom of religion

and equality for all

well formally even the communist parties

even the

sorry even communist states have these

formal promises

so i don't care that you're saying this

formally but don't

make it clear what you're about as a

communist don't deceive people

because people will look past it anyway

so be explicit

and open about what a communist means it

means you're sublating this stuff

right it's only formal it's not

it's not in the content of your party

itself

voting rights for people not for

corporations

sure this is a good this is a strong

position i guess

we have a vision this is where

everything gets shit

up african-american white latino

asian indian middle eastern it's

just fucking stupid dude don't don't

don't

don't either say america's working

people or talk about these people

in a specific context but do not bunch

them all together

because this looks like diarrhea

basically middle eastern

asian latino no no no

no there's you're just yeah it's the

fucking

you're you're you're making this stupid

dude you're these these are all

qualitatively different

okay some of these are immigrants

some of these are people from california

and texas so they're nationally adjacent

to mexico in some kind of way uh some of

them are also immigrants among latinos

and then white and african americans

well african americans have a national

basis here

um you know that's what that whole eidos

thing was about that's what that whole

american descendants of slaves was about

so don't just

throw these all in one basket because

these are all different

okay and this is stupid

you're this is stupid dude this is

stupid this is stupid either say

america's working people

or deal with these all in a specific

context

do not do not equate them in a sentence

it's bad optics it looks stupid okay

just say america's working people that's

it

if some racist has an issue that some of

america's working people

are not white they can be dealt with

you don't have to qualify america's

working people

with fucking intersectional virtue

signaling which is all this shit here is

all this isn't fucking virtue signaling

because you're too scared just to say

america's working people

by itself just say it by itself if

someone's racist

you can call them out you don't have to

fucking prepare yourself for the racist

all you're doing is telling

working-class americans that you

pre-emptively think they're racist

before the

fact and have to emphasize that

america's working people are diverse

we all know it's diverse okay we know

it's diverse you don't have to say it

you look like a fucking cretan when you

say it you look

cringe when you say it you look like a

virtue signaler

men and women lgbtq

straight yeah oh my god young and old

what else what's left

look at how everything's thrown in one

bunch this is horrific

optics horrific fucking optics

seep usa sounding like cuomo

exactly dude why don't they do anything

to distinguish themselves

from the establishment they sound the

fucking same

they sound exactly the fucking same

new yorker wheel one comes

as a new yorker i am a muslim

as a new yorker i am jewish shut up

cuomo

this is so stupid

this is our vision for socialist usa

this needs work

this needs a lot of work if i was the

editor of this

my red pen would be everywhere this

needs a lot of work

okay lots and lots of work

and it only has two comments

this needs work lots and lots of it
