While I believe that the CPUSA’s ideological positions are pretty solid, I’m kinda confused by the concept of “bill of rights socialism”, which advocates for the US bill of rights to be maintained under socialism, and adjusted in order to align it with socialist concepts. While I can see the concept here, it does confuse me why the CPUSA would, as a Marxist Leninist organization, advocate for a bourgeois-democratic constitution to be upheld under socialism. Am i misunderstanding this?

      Lemme tell you I’ve been arguing with crackers for years about this (well it’s hardly an argument when you deliberately misrepresent other people’s points) and it’s always the same thing, they think we want to deport them all to Europe or some shit 💀 like ngl I wouldn’t even be mad about it but nah y’all gone stay here and clean this mf up alongside the rest of us, just know there won’t be any more whiteness or white supremacy, y’all going back to being Europeans lmao

      I get why people have a bad image of us determinists now. Instead of “colloquial libertarian free will is stupid because every choice that effects history is materially determined” this guy’s like “I’d like communism, but I’m waiting for the right amount of people to die for the time to be right to kill the bourgeoisie.”
