How difficult is it to just not say anything
post
Non-violent forms of protest are useless without the threat of violence
I’d wager without the Black Panthers and Malcolm X, MLK would’ve been assassinated with no compromises or concessions given to anyone
Sorry that's fascism honey, you're no better than Trump who's a fascist if you do anything other than vote for biden!
oh no my hippocrates has been exposed
Got you to break your oath you oaf!
sike! i had my fingers crossed
I've killed most of my patients
you CAN'T cross your fingers like that! Not after we PINKY PROMISED to do our best for our patients!
I'll keep my promise next time, I'll swear on my mom's grave if you vote for me just one more time
Alright Mr. Leopard, I believe you!
when our turn comes, we will make excuses instead of doing the terror
Ah yes, non-violently opposing... a genocide. Hmmm
Funny, the government was against peaceful protest too, in the past and today. This post says to protest like MLK... but he was responded to with threats.
We'll push Biden to the left by devoting all our energy to making sure he's reelected!
The kind Lenin would have shoot Trump and everyone else on the rally, and it would have been cool and good
When I say everyone's a liberal, I mean everyone
Adventurism worked in Japan because everyone hates Korea and/our their leader carrying out a secret agenda of a cult. In the US, Trump is outed for being an Epstein associate and no one cares
Adventurism worked in Japan because everyone hates Korea
Remember the feeling is mutual 
We need to come together and be absolutely united in the belief that random gun violence needs to be contained in churches and shopping malls and far away from powerful individuals. 
It’s a very American thing to be awash in blood, but when extra-ordinary violence happens they are like pwease we are but simple peaceful people and democracy-loving men and women.
Extra-ordinary? One old guy got a cut in his ear (and some random sap in the crowd got hit and died). This is extremely mundane, ordinary violence against rich white famous men which is why it’s such a big deal to the press. Every day America churns up bodies and tortures people to death, that is what is extra-ordinary and ignored
I’m using the word as out of the ordinary. This is the opposite of mundane.
Sheepdogs is a generous term for this
These are just extra servile sheep
We need a funny clown hammer style emoji for cpusa
I kind of have to agree with these guys; our country's gotten very divided over the last decade and a half. I remember a time when the KKK could march peacefully in the streets and people didn't make such a fuss about it; where have those times gone? Now we can't even have some peaceful Charlottesville protesters chanting "the Jews will not replace us" without people trying to use it to deepen the divide in the country. I miss the days when I could have a civil chat with my neighbors about whether or not black people deserve to be in America or if they should all go back to Africa; now most likely someone would try and upset the peace by telling them to go back to Europe (or jump in the Nazi pit).
Our country's gotten so divided.
CPUSA could've contributed some ideas about the need for a vanguard party to guide revolutionary energy in a constructive direction. It's an idea completely missing from American political discourse, and it still would be because nobody would listen to them, but at least they might come across as an actual communist party.
yeah bc all forms of struggle were non-violent. even that idea ignores the fact that MLK and many other revolutionaries relied on agitation (eg. in this case, using this statement to talk about how hypocritical the news have been considering who Trump is) rather than just completely peaceful forms of struggle 
Of course violence is wrong! don't you know you're supposed to
to defeat fascists?
It’s weird because I think had he died a lot of libs would say things like “oh it’s terrible but he kind of brought it on himself”
Parroting the "fascist trump" narrative is cringe because it obviously means killing him would be acceptable which makes the statement a bit incoherent, but this is type of statement is literally the only thing you can say if you want anyone to join you and I wouldn't trust any org that goes "uh based actually upbears to the left" with my time, money or hope.
It's either this or say nothing
You could literally say nothing and it would be better than this schlock
Have you considered saying nothing and then redoubling your attacks on the right? No? Instead we have to suck up to the right and whinge about civility? We don’t



We make no excuses for the terror
