CPUSA leader Joe Sims tell members to Vote for Biden to stop Trump and the CPUSA officially condemns Hamas with visit of the Communist Party of Israel. CPUSA's 32nd Convention
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.”
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 the hell are communists inviting an Israeli political party to a convention? Hell I can't even imagine the radical liberals or centre left in South Africa doing that. I don't even think most centrists would do that.
Surely this must hurt whatever legitimacy the party had.
“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.”
I have some bad news for you about which side Joe Biden is on, my guy.
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.
How does the U.S. fail in every way to have some sort of strong communist party. Each large one has so many issues and some are just too small or are clones of larger orgs. We've reached the point where a consistently red star controlled DSA is the best bet for a communist org, and while that's not a bad thing, DSA as a whole is still filled with libs.
These irrelevant asswipes again. I hope communism remains a dirty word in the US just so these chucklefucks have to wear it like a ball and chain when they try suck up to the libs the way they're doing. Maybe they'll switch names then, then I can return to ignoring them forever
I never heard of Rossana Cambron, who is the other co-chair, and I don’t know why she doesn’t have her own Wikipedia page like every other past & present party leader. She’s the first woman (coincidence?), and AFAIK this is the first time the position has been shared.
