Joe Sims is exactly the kind of guy that all decent CPUSA members have been trying to kick out for decades via internal reforms. As part of leadership, he controls the money of the org via a separate apparatus and they all pay themselves through it. This leadership is also revisionist, like actually revisionist by any basic standard, and might as well be the Green Party but even less effective.

The CPUSA members against this graft keep failing, unfortunately. And they are basically not allowed to publicly criticize it due to "demcent", so they will be reticent to share things like this outside of anonymity where you can't verify they are even members. Unless you buy them beers of course.
