Lenin: Anti-semitism is class collaborationism.
Stalin: Anti-semitism is a vestige of cannibalism.
Haz: Anti-semitism may be in bad taste, but let's ignore it in the interests of party unity.
Well, well, well, now it seems ACP has a Politburo. How? Without a founding congress to elect leadership bodies? Without a party constitution? Without party rules? Where did this "politburo" come from?
🚨BREAKING: ACP Politburo member Danny Shaw was unconstitutionally detained by DHS & FBI agents at Chicago O’Hare airport for attending Palestine solidarity events around the world.
Zionists are destroying our rights as Americans!
English is a funny language. For example, "shameless" and "shameful" have nearly the same meaning. Both describe Jackson Hinkle's appropriation of the Yemeni resistance as props for his self-promotion.
Anti-Semitism means spreading enmity towards the Jews. When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jews.
The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jews.
The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jews.
In other countries, too, we often see the capitalists fomenting hatred against the Jews in order to blind the workers, to divert their attention from the real enemy of the working people, capital.
Hatred towards the Jews persists only in those countries where slavery to the landowners and capitalists has created abysmal ignorance among the workers and peasants. Only the most ignorant and downtrodden people can believe the lies and slander that are spread about the Jews.
Give me one good reason why a line invented by the British 200 years ago should dictate the political reality of America in the 21st century
Do you think we should unite America?

Among the Jews there are working people, and they form the majority. They are our brothers, who, like us, are oppressed by capital; they are our comrades in the struggle for socialism.
This is a survival of ancient feudal times, when the priests burned heretics at the stake, when the peasants lived in slavery, and when the people were crushed and inarticulate. This ancient, feudal ignorance is passing away; the eyes of the people are being opened.
Shame on accursed tsarism which tortured and persecuted the Jews. Shame on those who foment hatred towards the Jews, who foment hatred towards other nations.
The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital.
🧵 The American Communist Party will not rely on the dues of people ‘paying their way into heaven,’ but on party collectives getting to WORK.
Haz Al-Din on the ACP’s social entrepreneurship and enterprises
@Hoxhaist_TDM
IMO Stalin's greatest achievement was leading collectivization and industrialization, without which the USSR would not have defeated fascism.
ACP has made a whole string of memes justifying their national chauvinist line with out-of-context snippets from Mao, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Dimitrov, Kim. Too bad that's where their theoretical development ends -they're not at the point where they can understand an entire essay.
This is a childish analysis.
The "problem" is private ownership of the means of production. The immediate solution is not a "state of the whole people," it's the DotP, socialist construction, and the advance to communism...
(2) ACP is hampered by a lack of program, constitution, and rules.
ACP was founded by 10 guys who got together and said “Let’s put on a show!” There was no founding congress, no party constitution, no program, no rules. And it shows.
This is a disgrace on so many levels. Not least because most Haredi Jews are anti-Zionist and are hated and persecuted in the Zionist state as a result.
What have we learned about ACP?
(1) ACP does not practice demcent.
Hinkle’s post seems to have caught the ACP by surprise. It was 6 hours before Haz made a statement to members, and almost 12 hours before members started posting in defense of Hinkle.
but a large number said flat out “He did mean it, and he was right. The Bible says ‘Jews are Christ killers.’”
Do communist parties admit national and religious chauvinists into their ranks? Do parties base their line on the Bible, or on Marxism-Leninism?
What kind of communist party allows leaders to shoot their mouths off without prior consultation to determine if their proposed statements align with the party’s line?
ACP -- seriously!?
You think that drafting people to work for free on privately-owned farms is a "collective farm system"? No, socialist revolution will nationalize the land and socialize agricultural production.
Well we failed to push Biden left. But maybe we can succeed in pushing Trump to build the collective farm system that will serve as the basis for socialist agriculture…
In answer to your inquiry :
National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Haz’s statement indicates he’s trying to run the party by having one-on-one conversations with individuals. What kind of party has no established procedures for discipline, for working out differences of line, for dealing with internal criticisms?
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

(3) A large number of ACP members/supporters are, in fact, antisemitic.
The official line on Hinkle’s statement (articulated by ACP Chairman Haz) was “he didn’t mean it that way.” Some ACP members repeated that line...
What kind of communist party makes statements without preparing the members for potential blowback and arming them with arguments to counter opposition?
This is a childish analysis.
The "problem" is private ownership of the means of production. The immediate solution is not a "state of the whole people," it's the DotP, socialist construction, and the advance to communism...
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle.
I feel like as long as I’m in my athletic prime and can continue to support myself with social media posting and streaming I should keep competing in wrestling.
At least until the ACP grows to the point where I’m too busy to have a choice.
@Substanzisch
I can't speak for Stalin, but I think I understand his point. Anti-semitism is a vestige of medieval prejudices against Jews (yes, comrade Stalin was exaggerating a bit for effect).
You are correct, tho, that in the modern world, it functions as a prop of imperialism.
96% of US farmland is already owned by farm families themselves.
What would be really revolutionary would be to nationalize the land and socialize agricultural production.
@SocRevolt
Did you even read the article? It argues very clearly AGAINST the parliamentary road to socialism. If you want to criticize KKE, fine, let's talk. But don't just make shit up.
Hinkle in May: "Jews killed Jesus..."
Hinkle in October: "Jews are evil, they killed Jesus..." There can't be any doubt who "they" are based on his prior statements.
🚨🇺🇸☦️ Congress just passed a bill that will CRIMINALIZE THE BIBLE.
Reciting the fact that Jews killed Jesus will now be considered CRIMINAL ANTI-SEMITIC HATE SPEECH.
The homeless in America are like what landlords were in Mao’s time.
Occupying what should be public land and intimidating people to give them rent while they do nothing.
The homeless are the ruling class of American public life. Everyone fears them and bows before them.
Translation: we posted a liablous slander that was completely fake and debunked in moments but now are doubling down on the ignorance and malicious intent. Good luck legally defending that.
KKE organized demonstrations Saturday in municipalities across Greece, protesting Israel's continued genocidal operations in Palestine and Lebanon, with the support of Western countries. The largest took place in Athens, where thousands of people responded to this call!
Το ΚΚΕ οργάνωσε πολλές διαδηλώσεις το Σάββατο σε δήμους σε όλη την Ελλάδα, διαμαρτυρόμενο για τη συνέχιση των γενοκτονικών επιχειρήσεων του Ισραήλ στην Παλαιστίνη και τον Λίβανο, με την υποστήριξη των δυτικών χωρών. Η μεγαλύτερη διαδήλωση πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Αθήνα, όπου
@WokePryor
And building trades workers don't actually make the rebar and concrete, the pipes, the electric conduits, the glass, etc. They just put the ingredients of a building together.
ACP has an arrogant and individualistic view of line struggle. It's always "I accept your surrender, I won, I beat you, I demolished you." And then the insults will come. They don't care about what's correct or incorrect, they only care about getting over on someone else.
@fiercelyindicc
Multipolarity is a fraud. It's neo-Kautskyism. Inter-imperialist war is inherent in the capitalist mode of production, whether it has one pole or multiple poles.
@RedAndreou
That was written in 1917.
It’s 2024.
While it was an accurate description of material conditions at the time and does serve great predictive value, material conditions have developed and advanced since that time.
US is the only imperial power.
"Opportunism means sacrificing the fundamental interests of the masses to the temporary interests of an insignificant minority of the workers or, in other words, an alliance between a section of the workers and the bourgeoisie, directed against the mass of the proletariat...
