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!
