    I like what I read but haven’t hung out or talked to any reps. What do you think of them?

      They’re principled and are quite effusive of Mao Zedong Thought, but they are not Maoists.

        Hopefully they’re more into biology then Mao 😅 anything on gun rights? I couldn’t find anything after a site search.

          They’re pretty pro-gun. They quote that famous Marx quote a lot, on the usage of guns by the proletariat.

      I heard that they got raided by the FBI for pro-palestine activities. And they seem to be one of they only good communist organizations in the US other than the PSL.

        I voted PSL because they were on the ballet. I guess that’s a good standard to go by if they got raided by the feds 🤣

    Honestly, people should join whatever they want to join, tbh.

    I mean, in most cases, I’d vouch for that, just don’t join the ACP 🤣 (in all seriousness, beyond the ideology, they, err, have abuse problems).

      seriously… pretty much any org is fine (with the exception of that one).

      it’s funny how many communists are terrified of encountering “liberalism” lol like, please study Lenin’s
      “Left-Wing” Communism, an Infantile Disorder

      study theory and you should be fine.

      What party would you suggest? You said PSL was meh, though I’ve listened to Eugene speak in person and he definitely knows what he’s talking about. CPUSA is arguably way more compromised. They literally endorsed Kamala on their YouTube. IDK what other party exists that isn’t a straight cult.
