May Day: Needed — Another Commie party!

Yeah, that header is pure snark, but Mac Williams, Substack buds with Rainer Shea of the People's Republic of Humboldt County, is serious.

Why? The normal reasons. Other parties have been co-opted (PSL), are elbow-throwing Trots (SEP), or in Williams' own words:

Communism with a capital C is on the rise in the US once again. Along with it grows a contingent of liberal-leftists—the Malthusian degrowth peddlers, the confused anti-settler-Turtle-Island inhabitants, and the degenerate Trotskyites— all hyperventilating in disbelief at birth of a new Marxist-Leninist party that’s formed in the tradition of William Z. Foster’s CPUSA of old: The American Communist Party.
Against all logic these apostates insist that the ACP is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This video features Haz Al-Din, Chairman of the ACP, sweeping aside this non-sensical claim.

So, along come the new American Communist Party, which he says will be as pure as the old CPUSA and in direct line with it.

Williams either is ignorant of the factionalism and fractionalism of the CPUSA, or else he's gaslighting the 14 followers the likes of him and Shea might have.

And, yeah, you and Haz Al-Din and Shea will become just another bit of flotsam in the new factionalism and fractionalism. The US is still missing a Merikkkan version of Shining Path or another specifically Maoist party, though.

And, yes, what better day than May Day to post this?
