Probably worth sharing the top comment from the lemmygrad thread:

The article was written by John Bechtel, who was chair of the CPUSA up until 2019.

This is their official take on the Oct 7 attack.

Someone else mentioned that Bechtel is still president of the organization that published People's World. Are they not under direct control of the CPUSA?

Good question, I couldn't find anything definitive. When People's World first went online in 2009, CPUSA was involved, though.

Peoples world is a "privately held company" operated by members of CPUSA's central committee. Anyone saying that People's world isn't run by CPUSA because of a tissue paper's thickness worth of "plausible deniability" would be akin to denying that Washington Post is the mouthpiece of Jeff Bezos and his cohort because WAPO is owned by "Nash Holdings LLC"

Some things are bad there, but its not "just as bad".

Honestly in think condemning a statement that calls for an end of the occupation for not flaunting pointless bloodthirst and using a little disgression/moderation is fine. I know we're supposed to be dirtbags that dont care about tone here, but i think a national org is a different situation.
