ACP is winning seats... (x.com)

God damn it, this is how fascism really takes hold, when the fake communist start winning seats. They build up a bunch of momentum and then they suddenly "flip" (To their true form) at the last second and start killing people.

Am I crazy about this? Is something like this worse than a public nazi being in an office seat?

Unsure about how "important" this seat is. I'm more worried about the trend. If the only "commies" getting seats are ACP reactionaries, when real communists won't be able to distinguish themselves from them in the public eye.

Also, how the fuck are they so effective? It seemed like mere months ago ACP began. How the fuck are they able to get any seat with the term "communist" in their party name? Regardless of their reactionary status, to normal people, the big C word is a no-no.

Final free thought: I know commies aren't gunning for office most of the time, and that is fine. Building community, unions, and being in the streets, is more effective. But having some office seats could lead to small-but-useful changes, especially since this is a legal-adjacent seat.

The person who won the seat Chris Helali was a disgraced anarchist who fought in Rojava and was apart of the IWW however he was exposed for stealing money and was kicked out of the IWW then he became joined the PCUSA and ran in Vermont (and lost) before joining the ACP.
