“MAGA Communism is dead.”

From rally-side interviews to the launch of the “American Communist Party,” this is the arc of a tendency that chased the MAGA base, mistook engagement for organization, and built a “party” that never transcended the internet. No movement, no impact, no mass base—just content, metrics, and a theory that folded the moment it faced the reality of American political conditions. Why did it collapse at the exact moment it claimed history was on its side?

Obviously I get that some sections may need to be studied in a given order, but do I need to rigidly follow a given order for all theory?

If so, what order would you recommend?

Me recomiendan ser comunista? Y porque?

"The CPB’s uniform ban, its craving for respectability, the purging of young rebels who object to its Zionism and its reactionary attacks on trans people - all are morbid symptoms of bureaucratic control-freakery. Eddie Ford tells the tale of two lives and two funerals"

"So, in a letter on April 15 from Gordon to CPB members, there is a stern warning of a “concerted breach of democratic centralism” aimed at influencing YCL members “to adopt a so-called ‘dress code’ when attending public events and political demonstrations”. He goes on to state that “various purported instructions” to YCL members “have been circulated without authority, agreement or prior knowledge” of the YCL general secretary, or the chair of the central committee - and furthermore that these “unauthorised ‘instructions’ to YCL members” are in “clear defiance of our party’s policy against wearing uniforms when carrying out party activities”."

"The very idea of banning young comrades from displaying a certain fashion style shows, yet again, a morbid oversensitivity to any hint of factionalism and is, arguably, also part of a current left culture of boring conformity. In the name of keeping control, the CPB, under Robert Griffiths and now Alex Gordon, has certainly killed off the second YCL, to all intents and purposes."

"YCL comrades have also rebelled, quite rightly, against the ‘anti-Semitism awareness’ training courses run by Mary Davis. Looking at her reading list, we are clearly dealing with a Zionist doling out Zionist propaganda.5 The Israeli embassy would thoroughly approve. You can understand then why some YCL comrades are up in arms, because the CPB obviously has not got an anti-Semitism problem - just as the Labour left, or the left in general, hasn’t. What the CPB has got is a Zionist problem."

I really want to go to prague and visit the soviet cemetery in olsany but because of the New propaganda law i dont know what happens if i wear my sweater with born in ussr there in public?.Was someone in czech or knows it better?.I dont think clothes are banned but what does happens know?.

"To stand or not to stand in elections has long divided the left. Marx argued for standing. But on what programme, around what issues? On April 11 the Netherlands Communistisch Platform held a day-school to discuss ‘Marxism and electoralism’. Mike Macnair and Rogier Specht provided introductions"

"The issue of silencing leads to that of electoral coalitions. It is clear that both the German SPD and the Bolsheviks used stand-down agreements where necessary to win representation in undemocratic electoral systems.5 What is unacceptable is, first, government coalitions without the workers’ party having majority control and the ability to implement its minimum programme, which involves accepting political responsibility for the choices of the pro-capitalist parties. And secondly, coalitions which present themselves as broad-front political unity. What is objectionable here is that this is, again, to accept the line of the Possibilists: self-silencing for the sake of unity."
