Joe Simps for the D biden-horror : CPUSA co-chair Sims: Fighting fascist threat a top priority Peoples world Article

Excerpts:

CHICAGO – “The battle lines are clear. We’re fighting a fascist danger at home and a genocidal war abroad. And to defeat the danger at home, we’ve got to defeat the war abroad.” CPUSA co-chair Joe Sims gave this warning on June 7, as he keynoted the 32nd National Convention of the Communist Party USA.

Sims also spoke of the “raw racism at the very heart of MAGA,” and added, “Immigrants are a special target.

“First, they tried the wall,” Sims said of Trump’s scheme to keep migrants from entering the U.S. across the Mexican border. “Then the Muslim ban, now they’re planning concentration camps. That’s right, we said it. And if they come for immigrants in the morning, they’re damn sure coming for us at noon.

But we’re not at fascism yet, of course, Sims said. And that moment of respite – for however long it lasts – means that for now, “There is room for struggle. Let us use that space to fight for a ceasefire in Gaza and for an end to the war in Ukraine. Let us use it to stop the expansion of NATO, end the blockade of Cuba, and bring the Cold War against China to a close.

He then turned to the historic question the Communist movement has always asked, “What, then, is to be done?”

you are not him dennis-stare

As Sims spoke to wild peals of applause, he said, “On the one side, there’s the ruling class forces of white supremacy and MAGA pulling the country apart. On the other, there’s the working-class forces of democracy pulling the country together.”

I mean how do you justify any of this

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

the same worn-out "lesser evil" bullshit that has been logically dismantled here dozens of times. with a dash of "poor little Biden doesn't have enough leverage over those Zionists":

I don't think Biden has full control over the Israelis in this case, though he could do much more than what he's doing, but I think that Trump would just double-down on the genocide and make it harder to organize in the United States with Project 2025.

unironic "Trump would be genociding Palestinians twice as bad" drivel

... Telling people to vote for Biden and taking an anti-Palestinian stance. C'mon.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

We may, but it depends on the district.

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 4 months ago

I would really expect Palestinian solidarity to be a given, not depend on chapters.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

What "chapters"? We don't have "chapters."

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 4 months ago

Are you really gonna play dumb about the difference between districts and chapters instead of addressing the point?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

I already addressed the point though.

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 4 months ago

You were asked to justify it. You said "it depends on the district". That is not addressing the point.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

But it was addressing the point. Simply saying it wasn't doesn't make it so.

And as I already implied, we already have solidarity with Palestine and have many Arab and Palestinians within our organization.

[-] o_d@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 4 months ago

and have many Arab and Palestinians within our organization

And burgerland isn't systemically racist because Clarence Thomas is a SCOTUS member.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Clarence Thomas is ultra-conservative.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

We have districts and then clubs and then maybe collectives.

We don't have a chapter system.

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 4 months ago

Okay. I would really expect Palestinian solidarity to be a given, not depend on districts, clubs, and maybe collectives.

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

But we do. We do mutual aid, donations, and everything.

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 4 months ago

... and host the people genociding them. Do you see the contradiction?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

We don't host people genociding them though.

Being to the right of Macklemore

[-] AdlachGyfiawn@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 4 months ago

Sorry isn't what people are looking for, they're looking for you to materially justify the stance.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 4 months ago

says they want to change people's minds, ask any questions, then plays dumb and answers nothing

that's exactly what I would expect
