    This is leftists in-fighting at it’s finest. A whole new organization, created a week ago, comes out swinging at PSL, which has been operating for years, because they understand the role China is playing in the world.

    Tell me your organization doesn’t understand theory without telling me your organization doesn’t understand theory.

    China today has a state-capitalist economy

    No comment needed there.

    In addition to these errors, all of these organizations suffer from chronic bureaucratism and are isolated from the masses, not applying the mass line and therefore not acting in accord with the masses material needs and desires.

    Oh do they? Really? I have no experience of the PSL falling afoul of this critique. This was written by an MLM malding and demanding that everyone abandon a multi-year project for something that started yesterday because of ideological purity.

    Firstly, to create a party of a new type.

    Ugh. Why? On the basis of what theory? Where has this new type been successful anywhere in the world anytime in history?

    We are building a party which understands the needs of its members

    Not different.

    and empowers them to act in a democratic manner

    Not different.

    We seek to build an organization which operates in a manner free from the bureaucracy of the previous organizations of the American communist movement through accountability structures that flow from the bottom of the organization, a Marxist psychology based in historical materialism, and a revolutionary application of the mass line in all fields of struggle.

    Meaningless drivel. You can’t establish bottom-up accountability without a formal structure. All successful revolutions have been Democratic Centralist. This creates bottom-up accountability through formal structure. If you want to do something else, you’ve got a MASSIVE amount of theory work to do.

    Secondly, to advocate and develop a living Marxism. This will be a Marxism which is, in all ways, free from the chains that impeded previous implementations of Marxism — dogmatism, revisionism, and adventurism. This will be a Marxism which, through informed practice, develops in accord with modern demands and the needs of the working class. This will be a Marxism which in all capacities upholds the principle “ruthless criticism of all that exists.”

    It is only through this path that the US communist movement can be reborn into a force which is truly effective against the capitalist system.

    Yeah. So, you’re just upset that the PSL wouldn’t let you be a leader and required a full year of vetting, aren’t you? This is meaningless bluster. We don’t need yet another ML/MLM split.

      On the basis of Marxism-Leninism. Is this your first time coming across this concept?

      1. The fact that PSL has existed for years yet has made little progress in revolution shows that it is fundamentally broken as an organization.

      2. The CCLP was founded from the experience of several previous organizations which were developed over years of struggle, including the Red Spectre.

      3. Of course you can’t comment on the PRC. It is a fascist and social-imperialist state in every capacity.
