It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
As someone that knows several CPUSA members across 5 states I can absolutely tell you that the disconnect is real and that national is liberal as shit, not M-L. Their popular front stance is not reluctant, you can tell by leadership's overall behaviors.
Also your argument about entryism really just undercuts telling anyone to ever join, as the reform movement is the only thing I could ever use to get a communist to join it rather than another org. I'll resume being reticent to suggest this.
As someone that knows more than several CPUSA members, I can tell you that that is not the case.
And the United Front is becoming more popular as time has gone on.
No, I am not reticent on the last point, to be clear: if you don't agree with the CPUSA's Party Program and Constitution as well as general politics then please join another organization or start your own, please.
It's bad enough that PatSocs are trying to take us over and we have to continually fight them off and harassing people like myself and other comrades.
Entryism is absolutely wrong.
Just providing informed feedback, which I'll also refrain from going forward. Most folks just ignore and joke about the party. I thought this might be more comradely, but it's clearly unwanted.
No, I do not condone entryism, I'm sorry.
We've had many trans comrades harassed by PatSocs and entryism opens up people like that to our org, which I don't want any further. Again, I'm sorry, but while I have nothing against you, I cannot condone that, and entryism, to me, even without the PatSoc factor, is morally wrong.
As an outsider, just to be clear, your behavior here has firmly reinforced my resolve that I will absolutely never consider joining your party. You should probably refrain from speaking publicly on behalf of your party if you're interested in getting new members.
I am not here to recruit and I'm sorry you feel that way.
You will find that comrade to be extremely resistant to criticism of their party, regardless of your good intentions.
I am not.
