What’s up with the ACP’s communist branding? (lemmygrad.ml)

It goes without saying that the ACP isn’t remotely communist or socialist whatsoever.

This kind of begs the question: why did they even bother with the communist branding in the first place? Why not just commit to the alternative right? It doesn’t make much sense to me.

Maybe they took inspiration from the CPK/NSDAP’s strategy of LARPing as socialists for the popular support, but it’s not like communism/socialism are exactly popular in the US.

Or have the proletarian heroes at the ACP managed to gaslit themselves into actually, fully and earnestly believing themselves to be communists?

Thoughts?

There is also the phenomenon of the LaRouche movement, from Lyndon LaRouche, who was an agrarian organizer with left characteristics, before descending into madness.

I heard why the A"C"P was and how bad they were from an S4A video. Going over shitty pan-US Communist parties is just one of the reasons why I personally want to work within a smaller area within the United States.
