The ideology of building the biggest government possible to control everyone’s lives is holding another one of its #NoKings rallies in opposition to a mediocre Sacramento basketball team.
And it’s full of exactly the kind of free-loving libertarians you would expect.
Like the Communist Party.
Yes, that’s CPUSA or the Communist Party there alongside the Manhattan Young Democrats, the New York DSA (major backers of Mamdani), the SEI union, the League of Women Voters and the Federal Unionists Network (which is just what it sounds like).
The Communist Party is well known for its opposition to kings, it prefers other sorts of unelected tyrants like ‘premiers’, ‘general secretaries’ and ‘commissars’.
The CPUSA platform, as of 1919 (as published in The Ohio Socialist) was that “the Communist Labor Party of America declares itself in complete accord with the principles of Communism, as laid down in the Manifesto of the Third International formed in Moscow” in which “the working class must organize and train itself for the capture of state power” and “this new working class government — the Dictatorship of the Proletariat — will reorganize society on the basis of Communism, and accomplish the transition from Capitalism to the Communist Commonwealth” which will consist of “organs of administration created and controlled by the masses themselves;
such as, for example, the Soviets in Russia”.
What would that look like in America?
“The Party shall maintain strict control over all members elected to public office — not only the local organizations, but the National Executive Committee. All public officials who refuse to accept the decisions of the Party shall be immediately expelled.”
(And then gulaged.)
“In order that the Party shall be a centralized organization, capable of united action, no autonomous groups or federations independent of the will of the entire Party shall be permitted.”
“All Party papers and publications endorsed by the Party, and all educational and propaganda institutions endorsed by the Party, shall be owned and controlled by the regular Party organization.”
“This revolt of the rank and file must not be allowed to end in the disorganization of the ranks of organized labor. We must help to keep the workers together, and through rank and file control of the Unions, assist the process of uniting all the workers in One Big Union.”
Sure makes monarchy look like a better alternative than this totalitarian ant hive that seeks total control and total terror.
And this is what mainstream Democrat organizations, not to mention the DSA and Socialist groups, have decided to ally with.
No Kings, Only Commissars and Gulags is their real message.
