      i honestly find it pretty uncommon to find a democratic socialist who isnt actually just a social democrat, so i can see where the “democratic socialists dont want to end capitalism” perception could come from— 98% of people in america identifying as democratic socialists say they just want to regulate capitalism and have “the nordic model”. nevermind that the nordic model’s downfall has and will be that you cant regulate capitalism to be fair since capital is power and capitalists will ALWAYS find a way to use that power to control society

    That’s Joe Sims. He’s the leader of CPUSA. In September 2024, he 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.

      PSL is probably the same size or bigger these days. Most of this site can’t stand cpusa either, it’s structured in a way that you can’t fundamentally fix it because there’s no mechanisms or levers to pull outside leadership. This site has a lot of PSL members too.

      • doesn’t matter

        the CPUSA hate them or not are the biggest american communist party and the only one to have outside relations with parties in countries like yes Palestine

        everyone else is irrelevant ,the CPUSA also is but at least we know them

          No they absolutely are not, I would guess they are at best the third largest. PSL is definitely much larger and I’m guessing FRSO is too.

          and the only one to have outside relations with parties in countries like yes Palestine

          Also not true. PSL has tons of links with communist parties around the world, including in Palestine.
