So if you try to go to the Party of Communists USA website, you get a relatively short document by former members accusing the part of really bad stuff like reporting members to bosses and defending pedophiles.

Said members split and formed the American Council of Bolsheviks. As the Party of Communists USA is essentially dead due to these shenanigans, is the new organization worth working with? And can anybody give any perspective about this whole controversy?

    Afaik there was a hack and some wreckers locked the actual PCUSA out of their website and made sure that the first thing people see when you google them are these made up accusations. This kind of thing is to be expected. Any group or individual that becomes threatening enough to the system will be smeared in the same way. And there are people on the left who help the feds in these Cointelpro activities because they benefit from instigating splits and conflicts which then shut out anti-imperialists in order to keep their status as “thought leaders” of the left while staying in the good graces of the liberal establishment.
