We are the communist party though, changing our name would do little against that, we subscribe to communist beliefs, our party has been around since the 60s (actually earlier but it was called other names) it be like saying the democrats should change their name bc they were the party of slavery before the platform switch, it would be nothing other then performative

Also, currently we operate as a branch of the national communist party USA so it would be impossible to switch the name unless they wanted to and currently it’s not really on their to do list

We would love to do that! But sadly the second we do that we get the people saying “you changed your name to trick people into liking communism”

That’s the problem, you clearly like some of the things we do but you’re not looking at us bc we’re communist, you’re the entirety of the US congrats!

I don’t think I called us a political party? Because that would be wrong as we currently aren’t one like if I were to run I couldn’t have “communist” as my party. It’s more of a set of beliefs we follow at the moment sort of how there really is no capitalist party just people who subscribe to the beliefs of it, if that made sense

And actual good criticism, but let me argue
Communism is more “natural” then capitalism as when we were tribes we had a form of it, the natives also had communism like economy before they were basically wiped out, capitalism came about when the ruling class and the merchant class needed a easier way to make people stay subservient. There are tons of books you can read or listen to on the subject that would do better then me explaining it

- You missed the part after where is says “a gift done to help the humanitarians”
- We don’t only do what I listed feel free to go to the link on my post to read more about what we do! But we also do stuff such as fund candidates, organize marches, provide education as much as we can and many more things! Feel free to read up on it

It quite literally is the definition of it is “the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes.”

Would you rather us run this year, take away votes from other progressive candidates leading to a fascist to win, or what we think is the better alternative wait until a off year where we can do a big push and likely get someone elected. It’s a pretty easy to grasp strategy plan

Yeah as in you can’t own a business or anything that you can use to exploit other people, it has no bearing on personal property which would be things such as belongings

You make some really good points, and I think a lot like you do but sadly I’m only one person in the party of around 50, though I have been the one pushing for actual candidates to run and other things. But thank you for actually being constructive and giving me some things to talk to the party about :)
