Love these!
I hope everyone else enjoys this episode.
I didn’t know about the recent call for more colonialism in Africa by Erik Prince till now.
If anyone has any more info on that, let me know.
Thanks!
I fucking hate Good Morning Revolution, I get these useless old hacks in my email constantly asking for art donations, a 20 dollar donation for their upcoming whatever; they just waste it on the vanity and squandering the fucking party.
I hate these old ass pricks and how there’s no real way in the structure of CPUSA to just fucking kick them out already and get some proper MLs in and working. If we could appropriate the wasted wealth and capacity these dipshits have and put it towards function ML work we’d be five years closer to anything real changing
Have you considered that having a larpy conversation with 200 views is, in fact, the primary purpose of the vanguard party?
Get this revisionist outta here!
You’re correct, I embrace Marxism-Leninism-Webbism
Fuck Sam Webb.
It accumulates views over time, as you can see by the previous videos, and has dozens of likes.
Why would we kick them out the people we elected in the first place?
Because any communist party wasting most of it’s national email communication and internal effort on trying to produce things like this is wasting it’s time; it’s clear, has even there been onr instance of anyone actually sharing these that wasn’t already a member of the communist party? No. Nobody’s been convinced of anything new by wasted efforts like this and it only feeds the narrative that the CPUSA is an ineffectual organization unconcerned with actually taking power or educating anybody.
They’re not wasting their time; it’s been used to recruit other members to good effect.
What’s wasted? What’s the criteria here?
The lack of interaction even on a platform like this which would be so eager to platform anything successfully run demonstrates that it’s a waste of time; this post is the one with by far the most interaction precisely only because one nerd (me) is posting on it. If the folks running this really wanted to make a successful media communication wing they would perform the self criticism necessary to understand why other media arm projects are successful where this one fails. This isn’t due to any pressure from the outside, this is simply institutional failure indicative of the greater failures of the party. Utilizing tiktok, acquiring and using more well-trained media personalities and personnel, this is obvious stuff.
What can it be said the Communist Party has accomplished in the past five years? Have they headlined even one protest, hosted even one mutual aid project, reached out to the community successfully in a rigorous way even once? Anybody who would stick around this long can’t, I imagine, be equipped to overhaul it specifically because the party does so little that nobody who wants to accomplish anything would stick with it for long. I don’t mean to be critical to be anticommunist, but specifically because I am a communist, because I’d love to see the CPUSA be successful and if they were to change we’d have maybe one more successful socialist group pressuring the US to collapse.
In a time of such vigorous support for socialism and political education in the US they should be in a much better spot, they should be trying to grapple with the potential in the air right now and not continuing the same Post-W malaise.
The Communist Party has grown by twice its previous number and has set up districts in places it has never been to before in its entire history.
In addition, this is also partly for the membership and where we answer questions from within and without.
Your criticisms honestly just seem to go back to “they’re old” which is just kinda trite and stereotypical at this point.
“if they were to change”
They changed dramatically when we elected Joe Sims over that hack John Bachtell; what are you talking about?
Don’t try and kid me, I’ve worked in the same chapter as you, the results would speak for themselves and we wouldn’t be having this conversation. My concerns do ultimately come down to “they’re old”, but that’s clearly not what I’m saying when I cite each specific issue mentioned above. My concerns come down to “they’re old” because they’re clearly old and unable to enforce the dynamic change that ought to be coming from the leadership of an organization like this at this point in history. If they were old but able to be the helmsman of a dynamic and groundbreaking organization then I wouldn’t have these concerns, let them be as old as they want if they can do their job.
“the same chapter as you”
We don’t have chapters.
You also didn’t really mention any specific issues. And if you have a problem with them being old, blame the people that elected them.
