Only people’s movements built on collective non-violent struggle will be able to successfully resist the MAGA agenda and compel change that meets the needs of the great mass of working and oppressed people in the U.S. and internationally.

Oh, honey, bless your heart

CPUSA is trapped in amber from the civil rights era of politics.

Except there were widespread riots in the civil rights era, violent unrest was a major factor behind the civil rights act. They’re trapped in the version of the civil rights era that we learn about in high school.

Imagine learning about the civil rights era in high school instead of stopping at WW1 every year

iirc there were still many orgs using the same sort of nonviolence rhetoric at the time. I wasn't saying the represent the entirety of the civil rights movement.
