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.”

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??
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.
100-ish years of the feds doing their best to prevent such a party from existing.
They’re pretty damn good at their jobs 😓
Its easy when you have near infinite money and resources.
That’s something every communist movement in every country ever has had to deal with.
Not every communist movement is in the country that is the imperial core hegemon.
exactly… and they control all the levers here so it must be vastly easier to keep under wraps here
I would say both the
and the FRSO are doing decent but yea in size the DSA marxist caucuses do seem to have the most reach and influence
I feel like PSL and FRSO could have some potential, but they seem to have the same political line (not a bad thing) and (in my opinion) PSL leans way too hard into electoral politics (unlike FRSO). It’s expensive to campaign and run a candidate, and I feel like there are better ways to spend that money. I also worry that they could eventually turn into trots or socdems in order to pick up voters, though I would prefer if they could grow without that happening. Maybe one day some sort of coalition could form between a Marxist DSA, PSL, and FRSO (possibly even a merger) but the odds of that happening are so slim with the leftist tendency for orgs to split themselves into oblivion.
I’m not opposed to a bit of electoralism but I think electoralism on the national level is a doomed project for the left, local and state level politics are what we need to focus on
Definetly, local elections can matter and do make a difference for communities. They’re also easier to win, especially in smaller communities. Locally, it’s possible for a party can gain popular support through other organizing efforts rather than just campaigning and asking people to vote for socialism.
Also, anecdotally, PSL members seem to spend a lot of irl time discussing their electoralist projects. I think electoralism is a valid vehicle but don’t think it’s strategic to dedicate that much attention to it.
In contrast to my perception of CPUSA, DSA hasn’t devolved into false demcent (i.e. “bureaucratic centralism”). While DSA has big problems (and needs more centralism), it does actually have sufficient internal democracy necessary to engage in two line struggle, because of that it has the potential (however small) to build consensus among the US left cross-tendency.
