Let’s break each of your accusations (smears) down one by one: “They’re bigoted fascists” - ACP’s understanding of fascism is inline with Demitrov which is that it is the open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, and most imperialist elements of finance capital. ACP has clearly stated finance capital as the driving force of modern imperialism. ACP is very clearly anti-imperialist and anti-fascist. See the Party’s views on Venezuela, Palestine, Iran, etc “they follow LaRouche and Dugin political line” - False. The Party’s Secretary of Education is Carlos Garrido. All his work is found at @MidwesternMarx2 and neither Dugin or LaRouche is assigned in the cadre readings “Doesn’t acknowledge America as a bourgeois settler project” -The ACP analyzes the US dialectically as a whole, which is something the all Marxist-Leninists must do regardless of where they rooted. This recognition takes into account both of the reactionary *and* progressive historical context. See Lenin’s ‘Letter to the American Workers’ as an example “They tell their members to create small businesses… it’s petty bourgeois” -The ACP encourages members to create and manage cooperatives to help fund the party and be self reliant and as a further step to embed themselves into their local communities. Again, Lenin:

So many leftists are like “the ACP is kicking our ass. Do better.” Which is cool, but like… if there was a leftist organization doing better we wouldn’t have had to form the ACP in the first place. We all tried working through other orgs but they’re dead & have abandoned Marxism Leninism. Also, building & running an organization is very very hard work. You’re not gonna be able to “do better” on your own without any kind of structure or leadership. This in itself is a basic principle of Marxist Leninist organizing, you need a vanguard party to work within. The idea that the pan left is gonna invent their own vanguard out of thin air that outdoes the ACP is pure idealism. The reason we are gaining steam is because we provide a structure for hard working, dedicated, talented, intelligent, Communists to work within. So in summary, if you’re actually dedicated to this struggle, you should just join the ACP instead of begging the pan left to “do better.” You’ll find that we are quite effective in getting people plugged in & doing work on the ground, in education, in propaganda production, etc. Despite our youth & despite the problems that inevitably come with any collective. That said, if you’re not serious, or you want to “fix the ACP from the inside” just keep doing your own thing. Our party is having success because we haven’t fallen into the trap of embracing liberalism like so many leftist organizations, and instead are striving to apply ML principles to a modern day American context. But if that IS something you’re interested in, join up. There is so so so much work to be done! Let’s get to it!

Some reddit ‘leftists’ have found the courage to self reflect and finally admit they have a major PR problem with the working class and that hating the ACP for eating their lunch will not solve anything
