Let's start calling them that.
Hashtag it.
Do whatever to spread it.
Credit to Demtexan for this.

The Communist Party USA supports voting Democratic, and is active in unions and progressive organizations.

(23,364 posts)That seems to me to be a misuse of that word. If you mean that it's a representative of "bourgeoisified" elements, then I get what you're saying, without necessarily agreeing.
I'm glad PSL is active in being on the streets with anti-racist and anti-war messages.
There are plenty of parties that claim to be communist, including Workers World Party, which I find indistinguishable from PSL.

(23,364 posts)Quite different from socialism. Both are in the Communist manifesto. Socialism is a transition between two systems and is much more like capitalism than communism.

(7,908 posts)and communism are both founded on public ownership of the means of production, whereas capitalism keeps private property in the hands of the bourgeoisie. Witness 1% of the U.S. population controls (aka "owns" 40% of its wealth!
N.B. Bernie Sanders, bless his heart, never called for public ownership of the means of production, thereby giving the lie to the "Democratic Socialist" label he affixed to himself.
