Reply to comment by indyaj in What do people on this sub think about the Maine Communist Party by [deleted]

  1. You missed the part after where is says “a gift done to help the humanitarians”
  2. We don’t only do what I listed feel free to go to the link on my post to read more about what we do! But we also do stuff such as fund candidates, organize marches, provide education as much as we can and many more things! Feel free to read up on it

But you're Communists. If you weren't a political organization claiming to be humanitarian, then I'd consider reading more but this is how it all started and now we have China and North Korea. No thank you.

That’s the problem, you clearly like some of the things we do but you’re not looking at us bc we’re communist, you’re the entirety of the US congrats!

What makes you explicitly communist? Is it the desire to be subversive? If you really want to "help" then maybe call yourselves something less controversial.

I'm not a capitalist by any stretch. My mother thinks I'm a communist because of my criticism of it, but I'm not. The history of crimes against humanity should be enough for anyone to denounce it. Yes, the same could be said about capitalism but I'm not banging a drum about that either.

We are the communist party though, changing our name would do little against that, we subscribe to communist beliefs, our party has been around since the 60s (actually earlier but it was called other names) it be like saying the democrats should change their name bc they were the party of slavery before the platform switch, it would be nothing other then performative
