Communist Party USA says reds are among best Americans

Communist Party USA’s co-chair, Joe Sims has responded to recent comments from Donald Trump:

Donald Trump’s back-to-back holiday weekend speeches at Mount Rushmore and the National Mall, where he said the Communist Party was composed of ‘illegal immigrants, criminals, and people who don’t want to work’, are taking on an increasingly fascist trajectory.

That’s the standard authoritarian playbook. They always come for the communists and socialists first.

Sims added:

If Trump got this ‘intelligence’ from the FBI, Kash Patel needs to be fired immediately. What a bunch of garbage. He’s trying to criminalise us. We’re among the best Americans.

The Communist Party USA views the sudden rise of anti-communist rhetoric not as a sign of strength, but as a symptom of midterm election panic. Rossana Cambron, who co-chairs the Marxist party with Sims, said:

It’s red meat for the GOP base.

The administration’s tirades follow a string of progressive electoral victories in New York and Colorado, alongside ballooning membership numbers for left-wing organisations.

Cambron noted:

It’s an attack on free speech and the freedom to think. We’ve been here before.

During the McCarthy period, communists went to prison for “teaching and advocating” socialism.

Trump declared communism a “mortal threat” greater than even past world wars, including the false notion that citizens:

can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both.

Sims responded:

Baloney. We love working-class USA and Marxists since the time of the Civil War fought on the side of the Union and against slavery. People like Eugene Debs, Helen Keller, Paul Robeson, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and W. E. B. Du Bois represent the best of this country.

The Communist Party USA noted that Trump’s attacks are a transparent effort to launder a hardline immigration crackdown and voter suppression tactics ahead of the midterms. They warned that Trump’s rhetoric is a:

smoke screen designed to mask an ongoing assault on civil liberties and labour rights.

Trump claimed anti-capitalist beliefs “destroy democracy”. But his speech explicitly called on Congress to eliminate the filibuster to pass the “Save America Act”. This is a piece of voter suppression legislation intended to ensure his party:

does not lose an election for a hundred years.

The First Amendment protects the right to organise politically, including in the Communist Party.

By treating political belief as “disloyalty” and “anti-patriotic”, the Trump administration is testing how far it can go to secure its permanent rule while chipping away at the Bill of Rights and democratic liberties.

    Do love it when the libertarians show that they are the same old group claiming that the left is ever in fighting yet its only their group that is the one not willing to work together with anyone left of their own stale capitalist beliefs. Here for example we see a mild stance on not approving to the extreme right attacking an actual left leaning group, and all that can be mustered is denouncing behaviour that at least most every social circles I’ve been around don’t need to be told is bad, but no actual support for a group here that in theory should be shown solidarity since they are have been attacked for decades and now this news outlet is suffering similar (nowhere near as bad though).

    Its a little sad that even after debanking by the capitalists system that these new owners would rather keep to their tepid stance of maintaining the status quo of capitalism, then join with the majority of people who are looking to upend and replace this wretched system that has killed the planet and seen 2 world wars under it, even after the system has shown that libertarians pathetic non stance of true change is to much.

    Anyway sure though keep demonising and denouncing anything left of greens, even though the greens only gained relevance for saying it would stand with your party and work with it which it has not done so and chooses to try to work together with labour and the establishment. Sure lets ignore the fact that the greens still have a zionist presence in their party that has been their since before these last 2 years where they gained any relevance. Sure lets ignore that since this “partnership” that this site went from championing both greens and yourparty to only greens and demonising yourparty at every slight chance it got, even if it then had to admit it got it wrong but “thats not the point”. Lets ignore how the bulk of the old writing staff no longer work here any more, those voices that actually championed for change and where willing to mention these issues are all just part in parcel with how capitalist systems are intended to run. Lets just ignore that the US has only ever shown that it is scared of one person gaining power who now stands as one of the members of yourparty, and that the media that is claimed to be opposed is willing to give the greens some amount of spot light which if the greens where an actual threat to the system then they would of been no spotlight as that actually the most effective way of hindering a movement hence why yourparty has to make its own events since their been shown true opposition. Finally the most key point that yourparty still stands as the largest party by a massive amount and no amount of polling will change that since claiming polling is more accurate then actual recorded membership numbers is laughable flawed since I haven’t chosen to answer any of these polls that are cited so often because I know enough about how this rancid system works and how it treats trans and disabled people to know I should not go answering questionnaires and handing over information to be plugged into the AI data centrers for gods knows what heinous purpose they have planned for all of this AI militech we keep seeing been used on israeles civilian neighbours and in ukraine.

    Anyway final note so no one gets it twisted, I would love for greens to follow through with those claims that gained it legitamacy instead of what looks to be libitarians using the left as a spring board to maintain this capitalist hell scape, along with doing something about that very concerning zionist presence in the green party. I would love for this site to support not just yourparty but any group further left then greens and not just in token gesture and lumping them as “grass root movements” or “independents”. And beyond of of this just do something meaningful as a cripple who has been fighting tooth and claw for her life has managed to enact change while also having to fight various health care systems in the area, although for the sake of these cases I won’t say more beyond that, but as to then not have the critique of not been able to back up these claims I will mention that you can always ring up the Public Service Health Ombudsman and ask what was the deal with the egress system it was using owned by a company called Knowbe4 and anyone even without ringing them up can just search that company online and find out the very concerning reality of it, and that its also used across wide ranges of NHS services.

    Oh and talk about Health Watch UK and help those poor fuckers out you cowards, they have been fighting to protect everyone right to health care and are now been taken apart because again they are a legit threat unlike most (emphasis on most not all) performative crap I see advocated for on here. In my area their are only 4 of them working in the local branch last I checked and there and they are always looking for abled bodied volunteers to help them out.
