okay, returning sorta but to clarify I'm primarily writing off-site at the moment and doing research into a few topics, particularly the origins and purpose of the state

something notable lenin pointed out is clarifying that engels' discussion in anti-duhring points out that the marxist philosophers and the anarchist and social democrat philosophers (both) perceive the fall of the state entirely differently. engels stated and lenin clarified:

bourgeois state → violent revolution → workers' state → withering into nothing more than an organization that distributes commodites once class antagonisms are done away with (as the state serves as a mediator to force the oppression of one class over another, ex. bourgeois state over proletariat or proletarian state over bourgeoisie, to prevent class warfare)

the anarchist movement (bakunin and kropotkin) and the social democrat movement (bernstein, bizarrely also bakunin, and kautsky) interpreted the fall of the state as a full abolition, with a minor distinction that the anarchists presented bourgeois state → violent revolution → free association in a stateless, alegal society

the social democrats, precursors to the modern democratic socialist movement, contrarily presented the ludicrous concept of bourgeois state → electoralism in the bourgeois democracy → somehow transitioning into a proletarian state → state abolished. notably the modern democratic socialist movement has slightly altered that first stage to market socialism (or just capitalism with social protections)

that demsoc idea specifically advocating for personal benefits under whatever the current country needs to be without abolishing the systems of imperialism they benefit from

Added some more links for Sudan!

I've been talking with some folks in the CPUSA and my understanding from common sentiment that the CPUSA has been compromised since COINTELPRO is, apparently, misinformation nowadays. So after asking a ton of questions and looking into the party, I'm formally making the swap from the inactive SPUSA to the surprisingly active and largely CPUSA.

As a TLDR, the modern CPUSA largely grants organizational autonomy to its party clubs and has far greater democracy than the SPUSA does. They're also surprisingly transparent to their members. Post-COINTELPRO, the CPUSA drastically increased party security and has had to ward off multiple fifth columns. Notably, they had to expel a neo-nazi faction attempting infiltration a little over a year ago that was trying to

gain influence in the party and become the dominant faction. This obviously didn't work. The faction in question nowadays calls themselves the, "American Communist Party (ACP)." They advocate for, "National Bolshevism," "Socialist patriotism," and, "MAGA Communism." If it's not obvious, these guys are just nazis.

active and larger CPUSA* on that first paragraph
