I honestly don't get why people in the West keep attributing "woke" to communism/socialism or leftist ideology. They even invented a new gibberish term "cultural Marxism". Communism and socialism for us Chinese is very different from the warped perceptions in the west. The Party represents the people and serves the people. Through the People's Democratic Dictatorship, the natural state of China is the people-centric development model.

ACP Washington spoke with one of the striking operators who has been in the negotiating process since unionizing under Teamsters Local 252. After rejoining them again in Lacey, we learned that negotiations appear to be restarting today as pressure mounts and garbage piles up across Western Washington. Republic Services has done everything to undercut its unionized workers and think they can wait this out, but these Teamsters are willing to go as long as it takes to get a fair contract and we will stand by them until they do!

Since the reconstitution of the American Communist Party one year ago, the Minnesota chapter has been on the ground doing weekly work with organizations in Minneapolis to support the needs of locals. We showed up, rain or shine, and those small efforts have procured well over 8,000 orders and meals for working families. During this time, our membership has continued to increase, our regular initiatives have been established and we have laid out the basic organizational techniques and practices required to continue to advance our educational, practical and media-based work. That the American people are tired of the talk and deliberation upon our rights and the rights of others to subsist and live a decent life is a truth that is now self evident. It is with this in mind that we plan this next year to be even greater than our first.
