just because you never heard of him doesn’t make CPUSA leaderless

2018-04-12 22:20:05 UTC  

@Deleted User Maybe so, but it sure is interesting how even after skimming through their website I could not find anything about their actual leadership.

2018-04-12 22:20:45 UTC  

you said it said it’s leaderless on the Wikipedia @Deleted User

@Deleted User How was I supposed to tell it WASN'T leaderless when they don't mention their leadership at all on their website?

2018-04-12 22:23:01 UTC  

john bachtell has absolutely no organizational skills

2018-04-12 22:23:04 UTC  

by looking on wikipedia?

2018-04-12 22:23:05 UTC  

the CPUSA is a joke

2018-04-12 22:23:12 UTC  

still exists

2018-04-12 22:23:18 UTC  

and wasnt banned

2018-04-12 22:23:23 UTC

2018-04-12 22:23:26 UTC

2018-04-12 22:24:16 UTC  

did you meet him though

2018-04-12 22:24:30 UTC  

not in person but i was a party to many a phone conference

2018-04-12 22:25:01 UTC  

basically the idea was bc i have somewhat experience in media we were going to take advantage of the bernie craze to promote marxist ideas

2018-04-12 22:25:08 UTC  

but the longer i stayed on these conferences

2018-04-12 22:25:09 UTC  

@Deleted User How do we actually know that he leads CPUSA?

2018-04-12 22:25:13 UTC  

the more i realized it was hopeless with these dudes

2018-04-12 22:25:34 UTC  

@rail5 HAH, I saw that you guys have giant phone conferences.

2018-04-12 22:25:40 UTC  

That must be a giant fucking mess.

2018-04-12 22:26:01 UTC  

Also fucking MEMBERSHIP TAXES.

2018-04-12 22:26:08 UTC  

well i mean

2018-04-12 22:26:20 UTC  

idk of a political organization of that size which doesnt ask for dues

2018-04-12 22:26:26 UTC  

and exceptions can be made for those without the money

2018-04-12 22:26:33 UTC  

but im no longer a member because well

2018-04-12 22:26:36 UTC  

they dont know what theyre doing

2018-04-12 22:26:49 UTC  

Yhea, I was in one that was the size of a few hundred members.

2018-04-12 22:27:01 UTC  

We didn't have dues.

2018-04-12 22:27:24 UTC  

@rail5 I looked on their and they are more like progressives than that of communists.

2018-04-12 22:27:38 UTC  

they just

2018-04-12 22:27:43 UTC  

dont really understand marxism

2018-04-12 22:27:50 UTC  

i get the feeling they skimmed through volume 1 of capital

2018-04-12 22:27:58 UTC  

and just left it on the shelf after that

2018-04-12 22:29:13 UTC  

one of my major complaints when we were hashing out a plan was that they had no understanding of a target audience for these video productions we were gonna make

2018-04-12 22:29:24 UTC  

i mean the plan was to take advantage of the hype over bernie

2018-04-12 22:29:30 UTC  

and they wanted these videos to be 30+ minutes long
