    Fuck the ACP, especially their leadership (I use that term loosely). They practice tailism at best, but their clear connections with the esoteric fascism of LaRouche and Dugin, and personal connections to Gabbard (through that loser Hinkle), makes me think they’re more like what this image shows - fascist infiltrators that are grifting their way into prominence and fooling well-meaning people into funding and legitimizing their petit-bourgeois bullshit.

    Not to mention their dismissal of queer and women’s liberation - which are fundamental to any real socialist movement - and their admiration for US ‘revolutionary’ history (specifically 1776 and the 1950s) with no regard for the survivors of the settler-colony’s genocide, slavery, and oppression, all which illuminate just how empty and meaningless their socialist aesthetics really are. These clowns and their ideas can’t disappear fast enough.

    MAGA Communists exist nearly entirely online, yet the ACP manages to infiltrate leftist subreddits and get invited to international events. We need to be wary and vigilant against them and all PatSocs.

        Ugh, they need to be sternly combatted in every instance. We cannot let the PatSocs overtake the Marxist-Leninist movement and steer people in a Strasserite direction.

        Oh really? I’m surprised! I’ve only seen ML and Trotskyist orgs (in addition to DSA, etc). Might be a Uni thing? I haven’t seen them publicly.

            What refusing to join a serious org results in, I suppose. Just join PSL, FRSO, or even some of the better DSA local branches, there’s no need for people to join these odd splinter groups that get overtaken by PatSocs.

    Do people not known about the ACP (American “Communist” Party) branching off from the CPUSA and pushing for “patriotic socialism”? Do people agree with the ACP? Or is this getting downvotes because people don’t care about leftist spaces?

      It’s getting downvotes because it’s not a meme. Even if it’s true, it’s just limp propaganda.

          Memes can be propaganda, yes, but they need to be something more, otherwise they won’t reach people.

          You can make an image macro of a cat with the text “cucumber bad”, but it probably won’t be very popular. Even then, there’s a history of memes about cats reacting to cucumbers that gives that idea more traction than “Nazis did a nazi”.

          Someone asked “why the downvotes”. I explained “bad meme”.

            Go report the Wikipedia page for Kilroy Was Here for not being complex enough to be culturally significant (despite its actual cultural significance), I guess.

      The ACP is homophobic, transphobic, and adopt a pro-US Imperialism stance at a domestic level. They are “MAGA Communists,” in other words far-right grifters. If you oppose those positions, then you can’t let them slide.

      Liberals can’t imagine having standards and that’s why they’ve been reduced to vestigial Bush-era fascists
