dear Louis G,

Yes, the working class will not miss the CPUSA .
Though born healthy in the workers upsurge of
the  Russian and European post WW1 revolutions,
this outfit crossed the class line many decades 
ago .
 Tying itself to its liberal careerism in the
left wing of the bosses Democratic party and the 
AFL/CIO apparatus, its support for state capitalism
 abroad as "existing  socialism" and its tailing
of nationalism , electoralism . pacifism, UN-ism and
various bourgeois obscurantist  trends , this
outfit  is rotted rancid today.
The illusions its sows  where it "works" only
help retard class consciousness and demoralize 
more workers.

The few remaining healthy rank and file militants in the CP should
get moving for their political  life-boats, ones they 
themselves may have to help construct  as the ones
on its good-ship  Stalinism  are too full of class collaboration,
old Roosevelt  canons and dead workers bones.

I was never in the CP, though they tried to recruit me
years ago and I admit I was years ago a neo- Maoist myself , but
i escaped to the trend of workers communism.

Maybe you can set up a political de-tox center for
CP escapees. To your credit, you seem a lot more
honest about criticism than many on the state-cap left.
And that is a very good start!

Neil
