The entire party is a glorified book club, pretending to do organizing. They have ultraleftist tendencies and are very dismissive of the AES projects in the global south due to their dogmatic views. They are part of the ‘Western Marxist’ sector and are highly incaple of building a revolutionary movement.
Do not let their members infiltrate your orgs and spread malicious messages like, “Cuba, China, and USSR are/were not proletarian democracies but state capitalists.” One easy way to identify them is they are huge fans of the Youtuber, Socialism4All.
All hoxhaist parties are like that. I’m often disappointed with Unidade Popular pelo Socialismo here in Brazil, for the same reason. That said, they are not entirely useless either. They do a lot of organizing, including violent resistance at times. And they heavily promote reading classic marxist theory. I think it’s important for us to criticize the mistakes of their political line, but the name calling, shallow criticism I often see is not ✨ dialectical ✨ (and tbh they also do that a lot)
I don’t know a single thing about the American Party of Labor, though, except for procapra@lemmy.ml saying they are hoxhaists.
