@southern_worker has published a set of three anti-imperialist poems I've written. Thanks for allowing me to contribute! Check them out, as well as the revitalized Southern Worker journal (courtesy of the ACP) at the following link!

This week, the American Communist Party partnered with People’s Free Kitchen, a program of the REAL organization in Florida, to distribute more than 120 free meals to the community.
Much of the food came directly from the People’s Freedom Farm, another REAL initiative, offering a glimpse of what community-based food production can look like outside the for-profit farming system.
These efforts have strengthened local relationships, expanded our outreach, and contributed to continued Party growth.
Things American “leftists” can’t unite on:
- Opposing genocide
- Opposing Graham Platner,
- Not being useless
- Not being democrats
- Rejecting Zionism
- Condemning Ukrainian Nazism
- Rejecting NATO
What unites American “leftists:”
- Opposing ACP
We all know why that is..
“Orthodox Marxists” trying to gatekeep Marxism while attacking Islam are the most humiliated retards in history.
Lenin disproved them (workers and peasants alliance). Stalin disproved them (socialism in one country). Mao disproved them (Sinicization of Marxism). All the successes of Marxism have come at the expense of its seething, self anointed “chosen people” pharisee gatekeepers.
These are now glasses wearing academic pieces of shit who have quirky coffee mugs who think they have the right to jealously gatekeep Marxism.
They either live in Brooklyn, Tel Aviv or, for some reason, India, and are desperately trying to argue - on behalf of “Marxist orthodoxy” - that Marxism is inherently hostile to Islam.
These nihilistic secular liberals LARPing as “Marxist atheists” who would have probably hated actual historic Left-Wing revolutionaries - Robespierre, Lenin, Che - all of them were equally as “fanatical” as “jihadists.”
Classical Marxist itself atheism is 1000x more profoundly theological, mystical and full of “religious depth” than these limp-wrist “secular” shitlib Paris cafe useless “anti-theists.”
In any case, Islam remains uncharted territory for Marxism, as China was before Mao. Islam is not even a mere “religion” either. Islam is a repository of civilization, culture, even ‘politics.’
It is a living relationship to the fundamental conditions of signification, communication, and existence mediated by meaning.
No wonder it has acquired renewed significance in the Information Age!
These conditions are taken for granted by sedentary peoples, but nomads (who alone made Islam a world historic force) couldn’t.
As humanity enters a new chapter of history, described by Nietzsche and Kojeve as the rise of the ‘Last Man,’ sedentary “civilization” has reached its limits.
Islam has a renewed significance for all mankind, as a lost response to the existential condition of struggle it now simultaneously and universally opens itself to:
How to make meaning out of the desert, out of nothing?
The righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.
- Psalm 11:7
I think that we need to take Christianity more seriously. We're coming out of a very hedonistic and Satanic period in American history right now, where anti-christian forces were able to masquerade as Christians.
The new resurgence of faith should, in my humble opinion, oppose this rather than seek to extend it.
Too often, we see supposed Christians not only opposing justice, but openly mocking it. They champion mass murder for what they mistakenly believe is their material interest. They champion a world of exclusion based on silly things like skin colors, rather than following the teachings of the Gospels, that the New and Eternal Covenant creates a unity among nations.
The more I look around at those calling themselves Christians, the more disappointed I am. It's a lot like when I first came back to "the left" so many years ago. I looked around, expecting to see tough, get-it-done people, union men, etc. And I saw a bunch of skinny nerds with pink hair whining about jokes.
All of this is part of the era of empty categories and labels, the brand marketing economy rather than anything real.
All it takes is money for the ruling class to remove all meaning from a given category, and replace it with meaning that serves their own purposes.
If you're serious about anything, you need to look deeper than that, and discover the true meaning under the emptiness.
The Red Army’s Long March campaign under the leadership of Mao Zedong is one of the most incredible and inspiring stories in all of world history, seeming almost too good to be true. A torturous 10,000km journey that saw over 100,000 soldiers reduced to just 8,000 over the course of one year. And yet despite all the loss and struggle and suffering, it paved the way for the eventual victory of the Communist Party over the Nationalist Kuomintang during the Chinese Civil War and the birth of a new China. In the ACP, we can’t help ourselves from thinking of and reflecting upon this almost mythical story any time we pack up and go out together into nature. Texas has been blessed with plenty of rain in the recent months, so our Austin area members were eager to enjoy the greenbelt before it inevitably turns into the brownbelt as we move deeper into summer and temperatures soar.
@EdbieLigerSmith Thanks, Eddie. People often need to hear words like these. They aren't platitudes, but you speaking genuinely. Those who struggle with these despairing thoughts can tell the difference. I needed this. Continue to fight the good fight!
Never blackpill.
Everything worthwhile that you do in life will force you to deal with difficult times and difficult people.
Do not allow yourself to make these difficult moments out to be bigger than they actually are in your head.
Learn from failures and remain laser focused on your long-term goal even when it’s hard.
If you continue working hard one day at a time, in the long-run you will realize that many of those hard times were not as bad as they may have seemed in the moment.
Keep fighting!
DSA can only bring “socialism” to coastal, cosmopolitan cities.
ACP will eventually bring Communism to America’s heartlands.
“Civilized” urbanoids are performatively radical, but in essence conformist.
Rural barbarians are performatively conformist, but in essence radical.
All honest patriots must admit to themselves, that patriotism's highest form is in loving dissent rather than blind obedience; that in a thoroughly unjust land, the only house of honor may be a prison-cell; that the only bed of honor may, if necessary, be a martyr's coffin.
One of the first things Lenin did when he seized power was to cancel all debts fully.
Because of this, 14 major capitalist powers intervened in the civil war to try to crush the Bolshevik Revolution.
The ruling elite doesn't want you to know this history.
Communism in theory: We will crush the imperialist bourgeoisie, unleash the productive forces to an extent never achieved in our land.
Communism in practice: Crushes the imperialist bourgeoisie, unleashes the productive forces to an extent never achieved before in their land.
@EdbieLigerSmith Chess and its various regional cousins, with all their variants, are indeed quite fascinating! Although, I would agree with another commenter here that Go/Weiqi comes quite close.
The American Communist Party joins comrades worldwide in marking International Workers’ Day, and reaffirms its commitment to the emancipation of the American working class and the total defeat of imperialism.
Ukraine was never an independent country. Lenin gave them autonomy, but they were always an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR), not an independent state like the East European Socialist Countries.
Ukraine becoming a fascist NATO colony that murders Russian speakers is something that would have been unthinkable in Soviet times.
Ukrainian & Russian people are virtually identical ethnically, and they had previously been thought of as brother nations who were literally part of the same country until the USSR fell.
Ukraine NOT becoming a pro Western anti-Russian fascist state is such a reasonable red line for the Russian Government to draw. It would be like Texas becoming a Russian puppet & murdering English speakers in America.
Personally, I think the SMO is going too slow in fighting the Ukrainian puppet regime. Zelenskyy should be arrested and Ukraine should be given a new Government under Russian supervision.
The methodical approach to denazifying Ukraine is only leading to more bloodshed as the fascist state conscripts its entire population, including elderly & disabled people, and the West continues dumping money & guns into their military.
Get rid of the fascist dictator Zelenskyy and install the Ukrainian version of Lukashenko. This is what Stalin would have done & rightly so.
@EdbieLigerSmith Wow, so many Ukrainian nationalists in your comments coping and seething while trying to defend clear Fascism. Keep up the good fight, Eddie!
