ACP is winning seats... (x.com)

God damn it, this is how fascism really takes hold, when the fake communist start winning seats. They build up a bunch of momentum and then they suddenly "flip" (To their true form) at the last second and start killing people.

Am I crazy about this? Is something like this worse than a public nazi being in an office seat?

Unsure about how "important" this seat is. I'm more worried about the trend. If the only "commies" getting seats are ACP reactionaries, when real communists won't be able to distinguish themselves from them in the public eye.

Also, how the fuck are they so effective? It seemed like mere months ago ACP began. How the fuck are they able to get any seat with the term "communist" in their party name? Regardless of their reactionary status, to normal people, the big C word is a no-no.

Final free thought: I know commies aren't gunning for office most of the time, and that is fine. Building community, unions, and being in the streets, is more effective. But having some office seats could lead to small-but-useful changes, especially since this is a legal-adjacent seat.

I know fuck-all, but if I had to guess, I’d say money. Someone should try to follow the money, because their website seems to reveal nothing. They have a cryptic blockchain ledger, but at first glance it doesn’t appear to reveal any financial information: https://acp.us/ledger

Blockchain ledger? Yeah, don't think you're actually going to be able to follow the money there. What an odd choice to focus on that for a up and coming leftist party.

It would be an odd choice if it were actually a party or actually leftist, but I don’t think it’s either. I think it’s a grift, like CPI was.

I agree. What I more so meant is that it's pretty blatant with that kind of "transparency".
