      I think it’s weird how many connections that ACP has. Jackson Hinkle has connections to Tucker Carlson (fed). Hinkle has connections to Tulsi Gabbard (fed). He also has connections to Elon’s Dad.

      ACP’s 3rd leader Christopher Helali is in Venezuela right now and attended some press conference with Maduro yesterday and also on another day gave a speech on behalf of ACP to Venezuelans. One of the first Palestinian activists who was detained by ICE, Mohsen Mahdawi, was also a personal friend with Christopher Helali, and Christopher Helali gave the arrest photos to the press. Christopher Helali also owns an alleged copy of Epstein’s blackbook (address book) and there was multiple mainstream news outlets interviewing him about it.

      Hinkle gave a speech in Yemen on TV, while the US was still bombing Yemen. Hinkle also interviewed one of the main organizers of Gaza Flotillas last week.

      I think of ACP in the same way that I think of like Alex Jones: cartoonish, reactionary, lots of suspicious connections, probably a fed, etc.

      I made this post in particular because a formal condemnation of a comedy tv show is ridiculous and it’s topical because I saw 2 other posts on hexbear mentioning the CPUSA on The Daily Show,

    ACP makes CPUSA look serious and legitimate by doing this as a weirdo fringe org with barely any members. You’re not real or important unless you have freak splinters and wreckers attacking you.

    This reinforces CPUSA while simultaneously screaming “hey look at us, we’re a problem org, we want to be like your compradors in the periphery who act as wrecker orgs and traitors to help imperialism” at potential onlooking cia agents.

      CPUSA is the original ML communist party in the US. It split from Socialist Party (of Eugene Debs fame) after the founding of the USSR and did not survive the Red Scare.

      In September 2024, CPUSA Joe Sims made a podcast episode saying the Lenin would vote for Kamala because he thinks it would be easier for labor unions to organize under Kamala than Trump. I’m not even sure why they would engage in such a humiliation ritual, as the podcast episode only garnered around 2000 views in 1 year.

          I’m 99% sure the tone of the OP is “check out this clown-on-clown violence” though of course it’s a good idea to be vigilante against people giving ACP the slightest trace of “credit”.

          Also the person they were responding to indicated they were already familiar with the ACP, so it makes sense for the OP to just address CPUSA.

          Who do you think is “using ACP to attack CPUSA”? I was replying to a user who asked what CPUSA is like. If I thought that CPUSA was worse than ACP, I would have wrote more criticism of CPUSA in the main post.

            I know that you historically have and will continue to slam the ground beef communists, but I’m talking about the ideological presentation of the post and of this comment in contrast to the post.

            If the fascists levy an attack on any of the Communist parties, we must give no ground for their attacks regardless of how dogwater whatever org they may set their sights on. If that means that even I, who’ve spent the past five years on this website attacking cpusa like a flock of duck attacking a bowl of green peas, have to go up and bat for CPUSA, then by the Devil, and Judas, and Genghis Khan, and the Torso of Happisburgh as my witnesses, I’ll defend CPUSA from the fascist wolves in sheep’s wool.

    I’ve got to imagine the splinter communist party here in Australia also called the ACP, is really annoyed by the American Communist Party, because they had the initials first and at least were breaking to the left of the CPA (whether that’s Ultra-left communism or non-revisionism depending on opinion whatever).
