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 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
Mostly the late 1920s, but sure. CPUSA still only had a few hundred black members during this period and did a poor job organizing with black workers at the time. A good book on this topic is Hammer and Hoe, where it tells the story of eventual success of Marxian organizing with and by black Americans including by CPUSA and their notorious work in Alabama.
It did not.
Read Hammer and Hoe by Robyn D. G. Kelley.
The book I just suggested to you? lol
It's not that simple as you are suggesting, especially going by the book.
Yes
I initially misread your comment, btw. My apologies.
If you've only read Black Bolshevik, Hammer and Hoe, and Settlers by Sakai you will have a warped perception of CPUSA history.
And the work in Alabama was not "notorious."
Look at figures like Claudia Jones and W. Alphaeus Hunton.
Also, Hammer and Hoe is limited in this regard and goes against CPUSA historiography, which even says that they proposed a Black Belt republic.
