Empire of Normality: Neurodiversity and Capitalism by Robert Chapman is what I’ll be exploring.

Anyone want to read along with me?

    Yeah, the CPUSA disavows the Democrat line in general.

    “just that they disagreed on a few decisions the leadership made.”

    You didn’t clarify that.

    “but people tend to be more radical at the grassroots level and have their own disagreements compared to the actual leaders of the party itself. Often from other parties or socialist ones.”

    That’s a generalization.

    “I didn’t say ignore FRSO either…just that I have no experience with them and I wouldn’t speak on them if I had no experience.”

    Then get someone that knows about the FRSO to write about them; stop ignoring them in your ProleWiki.

      I didn’t clarify that, correct, misuse of words. You have a point there, my mistake.

      Joe Sims condemned Hamas. On the thread itself, CPUSA members were laughable in the attempt to console people or even provide for an explanation or justification for the leadership decisions. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/4773761?scrollToComments=true Right there, you can see examples of what I talked about, in people being consoled that local leadership/organization tends to be more radical than the leadership. Another generalization, sure; but it’s literally there for you to see and what other people’s experiences are with CPUSA.

      You’re going to look me in the eye and tell me that the average communist agrees with that; that alone isn’t a remarkable difference between “leadership” and a massive chunk of communists who don’t compromise with Genocide or disavow the ones resisting it? Over what is one of the many important issues that we have and then aligning with the democrats like they did in the 80s to “vote away fascism!”? Come on.

      That’s…my experience. Generalization if you put it broadly over others but I didn’t. I linked above to what I said earlier and other experiences with CPUSA that are similar. Perhaps, you being a member, can help me understand on why people SHOULD feel differently than from what I experienced than summarizing it as “well, that’s a generalization” when I said it was MY experience that I didn’t put over anyone else.

      Also, I don’t moderate, edit or control any levers or anything regarding ProleWiki. Did you know there was a suggestions thread/box for ProleWiki? I didn’t see you there.

        “Joe Sims condemned Hamas.”

        idc and you’re not giving me a reason why I should stop caring about CPUSA’s attempts at optics

        “in the attempt to console people”

        I don’t care about other rival Marxist-Leninists think.

        “You’re going to look me in the eye and tell me that the average communist agrees with that”

        The average CPUSA member agrees with it. I don’t care what Internet communists have to say about it. CPUSA has its own culture and politics, as does FRSO and PSL.

        “That’s…my experience. Generalization if you put it broadly over others but I didn’t. I linked above to what I said earlier and other experiences with CPUSA that are similar. Perhaps, you being a member, can help me understand on why people SHOULD feel differently than from what I experienced than summarizing it as “well, that’s a generalization” when I said it was MY experience that I didn’t put over anyone else.”

        You are indeed generalizing. You’re using a place that has a history of anti-CPUSA sentiment and hails from Reddit, which is largely influenced by the Maoist /r/communism subreddit, and then, from what I can tell, using that to say that most CPUSA members don’t agree with the leadership or are “more radical.” None of that means anything to me because it tells me nothing.

        “I didn’t see you there.”

        They’re anti-CPUSA and indifferent to other organizations that aren’t PSL apparently (ex: FRSO) and will not listen to me.

        Your tone has been rude to me so far, no offense. I mean you no ill will. I’ll likely block, tbh.

          Gotta love CPUSA chauvinism. God damn pesky Maoist internet communists! Talking about generalizations, aren’t we? I must have zero experience and be a “rival Marxist” because I disagree with you. What a fucking joke.

          Also, fun fact; I’m not from Reddit. I had history there; but was banned years ago. I found this community on my own. What about generalizations, again? Of course I’ve been rude to you. Condemning Hamas is settler bullshit. Combine that with towing the voting line, of course you have “rival Marxists”.

            So you have history on Reddit and admit it. Like, yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.

            Also, yeah, I’m anti-Maoism. I follow Mao Zedong Thought, not Maoism.

            I’m BIPOC, not a settler. Go away if you’re going to be chauvinistic and rude toward me.

              You really do love deflection like the rest of your party that you claim “like-mindedness” over. Multiple times I explained to you my own experiences while not denying anyone elses, provided sources and other experiences similar to mine from a thread entirely dedicated to your party’s bullshit and in response you kick and scream like a toddler claiming Prolewiki, Reddit, this website and “third-pillars” convenient to your own generalizations while decrying false Marxists. No wonder your party is seen as a joke; you must be the jester?

              I found this community on my own. Was banned from Reddit over two years ago before I knew what “chapo”, hexbear or lemmygrad even was. So, in a GENERALIZATION, yes, I’m from Reddit. The crazy thing though, I was a communist before I discovered Reddit. Weird how that works. Bit different now, eh?

              Also, chauvinism isn’t anything you don’t like.

              Fucking pathetic. Shapiro would be proud at your demonstration of facts and logic against the false internet Marxists.

              There is no justification for condemning resistance to genocide.
