From 'Ripen' to Rotten

 The “American Communist Party” (ACP) 

If you are familiar with ‘leftists’ that sometimes sound like right-wingers, this outfit is the epitome of that, i.e. Trumpist ‘Marxist-Leninists.”  Like the Brownshirts in Germany or the Lyndon Larouche sect’s ‘Workers’ Party,’ the ACP parades as leftist in some of its pronouncements and program, while leaning to the right.  This is meant to confuse and disorganize an actual left. 

Behind some of the standard rhetoric, they are also anti-feminist, anti-gay, anti-environmental, pro tax cuts and pro-MAGA. They promote ‘social patriotism.’ You will notice the hammer and sickle superimposed over the stripes of the U.S. flag in their logo.  They are Russophiles, no matter the class character of that country right now, as Russia is supposedly the leading 'anti-imperialist.  They are heavily pro-Stalin and close to the CP of the Russian Federation (KPRF).  They support the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the hilt.  They are also Sinophiles, backing China and ‘Xi-Jinping Thought.’ They claim they came out of the U.S. Communist Party (CP) in 2024 but two of the founders, Hinkle and Al-Din, were never in the CP.

They have praised the reactionary theocrat Khomeini as a great anti-imperialist, and formed a block with the Patriotic Party in Turkey, which is pro-Erdogan, a capitalist Turkish ultra-nationalist. Alexander Dugin, a far-right Russian nationalist, praised them for being allies of Tucker Carlson and Trump by opposing U.S. liberalism.  Of course there are other ways to oppose liberalism from the actual left. The CP, Alexander Ross, Varoufakis and others correctly identify the ACP as influenced by Russian National-Bolshevism, seeking ‘red-brown ‘unity.  So they are a current, almost darkly comic version of anti-communist Strasserism.  It is a nationalistic ‘socialism.’  And we know how that goes.

Their leadership is vitriolic, their rhetoric vile and their stance thuggish.  They blame George Soros, as Victor Orban the right-wing leader of Hungary does, for being behind bad, ‘woke’ communism.  That is a funny one. They wanted pardons for the Jan. 6 rioters, yearn to institute ‘patriotic’ education, call gays pedophiles and want to ban ANTIFA demonstrations. There is more but why go on?

The ACP is the logical end-rot at the heart of Stalinoid conservatism and authoritarian thinking, an affliction affecting some so-called U.S. leftists.  They could also be a police or paid front. They should be walled off from the Left. 

A crib mostly from Wikipedia.  I have no reason to doubt it in this case.
