    Beware making false friends when it seems there are no real friends to be made! Hinkle, Haz and the midwestern marx crowd have been active for years and have yet to produce anything beyond youtube videos and donations. Even this founding statement does not indicate any party was established or formed, it’s literally just a PDF. They nameblasted several CPUSA chapters in this document who quickly got on twitter to say they have absolutely 0 ties to the “ACP”.

    At every turn patsocs have lied and misrepresented both marxism and their positions. Even today they have very little support, because their plan of appealing to the maga working class (misidentifying that magas are mostly petty bouge, strike number 1) didn’t get them anywhere. If you run in their circles the average age is something like 14 years old, it appeals to the same kids that find Andrew Tate interesting. It’s edgy, it’s new, but it’s all aesthetics.

    Even the video they published to accompany their party is only stock and AI Footage, the same kind content farms in Youtube shorts rely on to tell their “5 tips to a stoic lifestyle” lol.

    More broadly, patsocs are trying to organize the “industrial” capital – they’ve said so themselves that they’re not against industrial capital (strike two). But industry by and large doesn’t exist anymore in the US, with over 80% of the workforce employed in the service industry. Yet, they unequivocally position themselves against this service industry, claiming they perform unproductive labor (strike three).

    Beyond the aesthetics they don’t have much to offer, and their aesthetics are the exact same as cryptobros lol. Once they actually have to explain their line and not just talk about Dugin saying this or that or cherry-picking Marx quotes, they show they don’t get marxism, or perhaps purposely misrepresent it.

    They’re Strasserites, which is nothing new. They’re also embedded in Laroucheist cults.

      How does it feel to try to organise a marxist party without even skimming Capital and Theories of Surplus Value and jumping straight up to vulgarity bordering fascist ideas.
