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??
Justify what?
… Telling people to vote for Biden and taking an anti-Palestinian stance. C’mon.
We may, but it depends on the district.
I would really expect Palestinian solidarity to be a given, not depend on chapters.
What “chapters”? We don’t have “chapters.”
Are you really gonna play dumb about the difference between districts and chapters instead of addressing the point?
We have districts and then clubs and then maybe collectives.
We don’t have a chapter system.
Okay. I would really expect Palestinian solidarity to be a given, not depend on districts, clubs, and maybe collectives.
But we do. We do mutual aid, donations, and everything.
I already addressed the point though.
You were asked to justify it. You said “it depends on the district”. That is not addressing the point.
But it was addressing the point. Simply saying it wasn’t doesn’t make it so.
And as I already implied, we already have solidarity with Palestine and have many Arab and Palestinians within our organization.
Being to the right of Macklemore
I’m sorry.
Sorry isn’t what people are looking for, they’re looking for you to materially justify the stance.
says they want to change people’s minds, ask any questions, then plays dumb and answers nothing
that’s exactly what I would expect
But I wasn’t.
But I’m not.
