Joe Simps for the D biden-horror : CPUSA co-chair Sims: Fighting fascist threat a top priority Peoples world Article

Excerpts:

CHICAGO – “The battle lines are clear. We’re fighting a fascist danger at home and a genocidal war abroad. And to defeat the danger at home, we’ve got to defeat the war abroad.” CPUSA co-chair Joe Sims gave this warning on June 7, as he keynoted the 32nd National Convention of the Communist Party USA.

Sims also spoke of the “raw racism at the very heart of MAGA,” and added, “Immigrants are a special target.

“First, they tried the wall,” Sims said of Trump’s scheme to keep migrants from entering the U.S. across the Mexican border. “Then the Muslim ban, now they’re planning concentration camps. That’s right, we said it. And if they come for immigrants in the morning, they’re damn sure coming for us at noon.

But we’re not at fascism yet, of course, Sims said. And that moment of respite – for however long it lasts – means that for now, “There is room for struggle. Let us use that space to fight for a ceasefire in Gaza and for an end to the war in Ukraine. Let us use it to stop the expansion of NATO, end the blockade of Cuba, and bring the Cold War against China to a close.

He then turned to the historic question the Communist movement has always asked, “What, then, is to be done?”

you are not him dennis-stare

As Sims spoke to wild peals of applause, he said, “On the one side, there’s the ruling class forces of white supremacy and MAGA pulling the country apart. On the other, there’s the working-class forces of democracy pulling the country together.”

    Physical Location? That’s pretty cool, I was actually going to mention the possibility for a community/third space but I don’t think other orgs do that either so it’s not like a standard had been set. Also glad to see they are hosting pride events as well, intersectionality is good to see.

      It is an objective of every PSL branch to get a Liberation Center set up. It’s the main thing dues go towards for our branch, but it massively amplifies our organizing capacity. Plus the cheapest spots are usually in the kinds of neighborhoods where we want to do the most work.

      Also glad to see they are hosting pride events as well, intersectionality is good to see.

      Not just good to see but fundamental to our approach. It is impossible to have a serious liberation movement that doesn’t aggressively stand up against all forms of oppression and chauvinism.
