I had been seeing cpusa posters up around my area, I have half a mind to vandalize them, knowing they are led by someone that dumb

Though, knowing their history of being riddled by 3 letter agencies, odds are it's a practiced and intentionally honed stupidity

I won't dispute that CPUSA hasn't exactly been effective by working as an extension of the democratic party, but like, c'mon. Just look at this:

also i know the vandalize thing was a joke (lol do you actually see anything to vandalize in public?) but it's extra silly because any given local org is probably going to also largely be rolling their eyes. or coming up with sillier things to say. bit of a dice roll

I've been putting my energy into union work, with my current goal in life to see a election cycle where my union does not endorse Dems or Republicans. seems worthwhile. most dues paying union members in our area dislike both parties but of course members are not involved in the decision making for "political work" aka exchanging endorsements for job guarantees and sending postcards to members telling them to Vote.

us unions are weak little poo poo holes of market unionists and liberals at best, but that weakness has also sparked rank and file reform efforts that can actually seize power with even a modicum of discipline. its the most interesting political opportunities for where I live at least

realistically the person doing the "pushing left" is just gaining experience slamming their head against a wall again and again, but that can be very valuable experience!!! getting involved in any way is better than not. a better move may be to avoid usa party politics and focus on non-electoralist orgs (or minimally so)

if you're not going to be directly involved in the labor struggle then the best move is to join and be active in your local socialist party branch. cpusa national leadership sucks but its also the internationally recognized party of the us by socialist countries. if for some reason your intransigent yankee individualism wont allow this, reflect on that and try again.
