Honestly, MLs tend to do this with a lot of convos, I feel.

Collapse has to hit for the west to start considering anything new; and when they do, they'll probably consider fascism first to the exclusion of all else, so you're not wrong. I've hit the doomer streak, and don't really see a way to unflip that switch now that the feedback loops have started. Cosigning ComradeSalad, tho; please pick a better org. I don't trust or expect anything out of CPUSA but tailism to reformists.

    We are neither reformist or tailist.

    Did anticolonialism and Black self-determination ever make it back into the party platform post-Civil Rights Movement? Did they ever apologize for purges of revolutionary Black nationalists in the wake of white Amerika's uproar over the (in tragic hindsight) false Emmett Till allegations? Did they ever decouple from assimilationism and settler-leftism? Historically, CPUSA has been a capitulatory organization. I do not expect anything better of them in the modern day. This is a 'show and prove' moment.

    Actually, we never gave up on anti-colonialism and Black self-determination.

    Also, we never purged Black nationalists; many remained with the party.

    We are not assimilationist or anything like that.

    You're kinda just repeating fed talking points, no offense. 😜
