John Bachtell, former national committee chairperson of CPUSA, continues the party’s decades long tradition of making shit up to discredit the left’s greatest accomplishments. Liberals hate that Stalin and the greater communist movement destroyed the independence of Ukraine’s ruling class and brought an end to the centuries of antisemitic violence they used to preserve their power.

SMDH my dickhead.

    We did not; we fought against segregation and fought for the Scottsboro boys most famously.

    We were one of the first ones to be against segregation.

    W.E.B. DuBois was a member of the CPUSA.

        Perhaps you’re referring to the Socialist Labor Party?

        Or the AFL (before it turned into the AFL-CIO)?

        (I don’t mean to besmirch either though.)

          Probably. I’m not from US so I don’t know much about its organizations.

          I don’t mean to besmirch either though.

          Absolutely. I was wrong. I haven’t any right to say shit about other people’s organisations without knowing about them.

            It’s understandable.

            People smack-talk CPUSA all the time, but nobody knows our history beyond Settlers by J. Sakai and the other book Black Bolshevik by Harry Haywood.

            So, anyway, I admire you saying that last part. 🤝
