Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

APL is Anti-Revisionist Marxist Leninist (or Hoxhaist if you prefer) and is part of the CIPOML. The APL upholds the USSR pre-khruschev.
Yes, APL does not to my knowledge uphold any current socialist projects, but it does not uphold "Western Marxist" traditions.
The APL is currently very vocal against US actions taken against Venezuela (check redphoenixnews) and holds a similar line to it's sister party in Venezuela PCMLV, which has advocated "popular and revolutionary unity" against US aggression.
Unless you have actual evidence of wrecker behavior or infiltration, I feel like this post exists just to bash a party that holds a different line than you believe to be true.
That is a Western Marxist tradition in itself.
Their members go around calling all AES countries "not proletarian state".
All hoxhaist parties are like that. I'm often disappointed with Unidade Popular pelo Socialismo here in Brazil, for the same reason. That said, they are not entirely useless either. They do a lot of organizing, including violent resistance at times. And they heavily promote reading classic marxist theory. I think it's important for us to criticize the mistakes of their political line, but the name calling, shallow criticism I often see is not ✨ dialectical ✨ (and tbh they also do that a lot)
I don't know a single thing about the American Party of Labor, though, except for procapra@lemmy.ml saying they are hoxhaists.
