i’m not sure if we can apply this logic - we tried working within the confines of regimes such as the United States, Nazi Germany, West Germany, and Israel for many years, if not decades.

even when these movements were Marxist, they failed or denigrated into American chauvinism/nationalism, Strasserism and National Bolshevism, petit-bourgeois idealism, and Labor Zionism - respective to the list, in that order.

that’s not to say we don’t care, but previous orgs had material basis for their success.

The Black Panthers (+ BLA), Brown Berets, Young Lords, American Indian Movement were leading the struggle - it was through their collective struggle that they were able to assist the Young Patriots and the student groups to form the correct line and analysis

I, for one, am not interested in treating Donald Trump like some political outsider, as if I can take the ‘America’ and leave the Trump; take the ‘Nazi Germany’ and leave the Hitler; take the ‘Israel’ and leave the Netanyahu

this isn’t just about ‘overthrowing the government’ - the program of the Communist party is not coupist - and we aren’t populists, either
