the nobel prize for economics being based on a bank bribing the nobel foundation every year so they can use the name to boost the image of their award is a perfect snapshot of the world we live in

Javier Garcia Bengochea, a medical doctor who migrated to the United States 59 years ago, says he is the true and legitimate owner of the port of Santiago de Cuba.
And Michael Behn, an American living in the United Kingdom, states that he is the unquestionable owner of Havana's docks.

Nah, the ones that are "real" in that argument are all those which Nobel set up in his will and are administered by the Nobel foundation. The Nobel prize in economics is technically a distinct Nobel *memorial* prize awarded by the swedish central bank with the blessing of the Nobel foundation.

quote:

There seems to be a fear among some of party members, however, of some looming reformist danger. They feel the need to urgently proclaim the CPUSA is more revolutionary and therefore better, as if there was a revolution in danger of betrayal. Naturally, one would assume that members of the Communist Party are going to think it’s the best outlet for their activism. But carried too far, declaring the party’s superiority could end up isolating party members from the bigger movements that need their input and leadership.

Going in that direction, some want to make the party so supposedly revolutionary that they would dump the policy of the “People’s Front,” which has been the foundation of the Communist Party’s strategic approach for over 80 years.

At the core of the popular front strategy is the idea of broad-based coalition politics, formulated around a couple of key questions. First, it asks what goal, if won, can change the relationship of forces and open up the possibility for advance. Second, it sets out who are the main opponents and possible allies in the struggle to achieve that goal. This means determining who has the self-interest to fight for the goal and assessing their organization, consciousness, and capacity to join in the fight.

In the 1930s, the goal was stopping fascism and defeating the anti-New Deal section of capital and the Republican Party. Today, with the whole federal government and many states under the control of Trump and the GOP, our task appears in similarly stark terms. To build resistance to the far-right corporate agenda, there is a need to consolidate the widest possible unity—not leaving out any possible ally.

At a time when masses of people are moving left, challenging corporate power, and viewing the concept of socialism more favorably than we’ve seen in decades—or perhaps ever—there would be no greater mistake than to expend unnecessary effort critiquing people for not being “left enough.”

It is certainly necessary for the CPUSA improve its explanation of what makes it unique, but we have to always remember who the real enemy is.

It’s not the followers of Bernie Sanders, that’s for sure.
