The most factual exposé of this MAGA+multipolarity carny show is an article published by the Communist Workers Platform. Here are excerpts and a link to the full article.
Regarding the so-called “American Communist Party” On July 21, 2024, several “communist” internet personalities gathered in Chicago to form the “American Communist Party.” Among the founding members are Eddie “Liger” Smith, Carlos Garrido, Noah Khrachvik, and Kyle Pettis (former member of Maoist Collective – Red Guards and American Party of Labor) of Midwestern Marx; Adam “Haz Al-Din” Tahir, Henry Ahmad, and Grayson Preutz of the Infrared Collective; Jackson Hinkle (prominent MAGA communist) of The Dive With Jackson Hinkle; Christopher Helali of the Party of Communists USA; and Rev Laskaris of RTSG. Together, these ten individuals constitute the ACP Plenary Committee. The founding declaration also includes signatures from twenty-nine clubs of the Communist Party USA, as well as three clubs of the PCUSA. However, many have since denied affiliation with the ACP on social media. The ACP justified including these signatures based on a petition they signed against Resolution 5 of the 32nd CPUSA National Convention, which formalized the CPUSA’s long-standing alignment with the Democratic Party. Within days, ACP leaders appeared on RT and The Jimmy Dore Show to promote their new formation. This new “party” is a thoroughly petty-bourgeois formation, led by streamers (small businessmen), political grifters, and ex-functionaries of the state and embodying some of the most disturbing and harmful tendencies obstructing the reconstitution of the communist party in the US—careerism, individualism, overreliance on online forms of recruitment and organization, pandering to the most backward sections of society, promoting and condoning reactionary and alienating positions (e.g., “patriotic socialism” and “MAGA communism”), and supporting outright anti-communist leaders like Nicholas Maduro and Vladimir Putin. The ACP joins the likes of the deeply anti-communist and opportunist World Anti-Imperialist Platform as another fundamentally reformist group championing the theory of multipolarity. In a recent interview with Jimmy Dore discussing the founding of the ACP, Hinkle confirmed that “…the way that a communist country operates, at least when it comes to the economic aspect, is much similar to how we are witnessing China operate today.” Such a characterization contradicts the Marxist understanding of the fundamental character of capitalism (private appropriation of social production) versus that of socialism (social production for society’s needs). We should further be wary of any organization claiming itself as the Communist Party, especially one helmed by online personalities and with no connection to the working masses. Such a grandiose claim, born out of blatant megalomania and overestimated support, can only lead to further confusion within an already fractured revolutionary movement. The CPUSA, of course, denies its responsibility for the creation of the ACP, claiming it was “birthed outside of its ranks.” They mention nothing of the years spent cultivating the theories of multipolarity, market socialism, and other opportunistic trends within their ranks or their relinquishing of the Leninist theory of the party in favor of the organizational standards of a social democratic mass party. The bourgeoisie has its parties. It’s time for ours and we need it now. >From >https://newworker.us/domestic/regarding-the-so-called-american-communist-party/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
