thanks for this explanation, this is definitely the reasoning I’ve seen for CPUSA’s policies.
my disagreement comes from the support for candidates like Clinton and Biden. I don’t think they have any track record of moving towards progress and I’m extremely skeptical of claims that they’re the lesser evil against someone like Trump (Biden’s presidency is proof of this). If it were someone like Bernie though, that’d be a different conversation since he’s someone that does actually support universal healthcare, etc and would do a lot to legitimize socialism in the minds of liberals. although I have no illusions about him being able to pass a lot of that stuff or him still being an imperialist.
Well, you can’t grow as a vanguard party by not fighting to improve the lives of the working class people. No one wants to hear, “there’s no time for better wages, we need to overthrow the government!”. People need help now.
100% agree. we’ll never gain support of the people by posturing and poo-pooing any genuine attempts of workers to make their lives better.
