While I believe that the CPUSA’s ideological positions are pretty solid, I’m kinda confused by the concept of “bill of rights socialism”, which advocates for the US bill of rights to be maintained under socialism, and adjusted in order to align it with socialist concepts. While I can see the concept here, it does confuse me why the CPUSA would, as a Marxist Leninist organization, advocate for a bourgeois-democratic constitution to be upheld under socialism. Am i misunderstanding this?
weed being illegal and demonized was always an excuse to disproportionately arrest black people for cheap labor in prisons. theres really no argument for it to be criminalized from a proletarian standpoint.
