Should the CPUSA Be Outlawed and Forcefully Disbanded?

If they're offering aid to foreign governments, then we have a right to shut them down.

I- what? Where did you get this from?

Daily reminder, the constitution is subject to change.

Yes, but until it is changed it's illegal. Meaning no-no. I respect the constitution no matter what it's contents, so long as those contents aren't completely un-American in nature.

Is permitting the communist party un-American in nature? *thinking*

[Trollzyn the Infinite]

You think I can actually get a girlfriend? Thanks, friend. That means a lot.

Honestly considering the GOP is more of a corporate lobbyist group than an actual political party at this point I wouldn't oppose it's disbandment, either.

I really wouldn't call it "nostalgia". I'm all for opposing the spread of Communism, but propping psychotic dictatorships to fight psychotic dictatorships is just dumb. Vietnam was poorly handled, too. McCarthyism is just stupid, the CIA was out of control, and Reagan ended up creating an enemy 10x as bad as the USSR. Generally when one is nostalgic they look back on stuff with fondness and I can assure you I don't like at any point in the Cold War with fondness. Mostly because of the terrible fashion trends, though.

Continental drift has spread way more than communism in the modern age. You're trying to hype up street cred for a sad fantasy roleplay club that never had glory days. You're not seriously going to believe the U.S. government ignores the CPUSA because they're secret masterminds are you?

I'm well aware that the CPUSA is little more than a glorified middle school treehouse club complete with squirt guns and a "no girlz allowed!" sign. I don't care; it's the principle of the thing. Treason should not be tolerated.

[Antityranicals]

Eh, doing this would cause more harm than it would solve. Imagine what the media would say if Republicans did that... AOC and crowd would stir up riots.

Oh wait. Trollzyn the Infinite.

Nice play.

I mean if one wants to head off communist orgs the CPUSA is pretty much rock bottom of the list. Even the avakianites got more in em.

And then you get to put them in jail for inciting riots. How is this a problem?

Please point out the acts of treason. I would love to learn.

Technically, no. Permitting Communists to be Communist is very much American as it falls under the "liberty" part in the "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" section, which is covered by the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Association. Of course that doesn't apply when dealing with traitors since they seek to undermine those three things by sabotaging our great nation.

Ban them for fronting democrats if you’ve had enough corporate government. (Oops, puppet posted)

Because riots are expensive and dangerous.

What thoughtcrime? If you're going to grasp at straws make sure the straws exist first.

Banning the party would be more like serving a warning than actual justice; essentially saying "don't tolerate this shit in your party or you'll be shut down".

Of course the actual traitors go to court.

I do sorta like the concept of putting AOC in jail, but in practice, it's somewhat wrong, and it would give the media an excuse to call Trump a fascist (Not that they haven't already done so a thousand times a day, but then they'd actually have some substance behind it...)

Will you stop bellowing this ridiculous conspiracy theory?

Never mind that the Republicans are far bigger corporate shills than the Democrats could ever hope to be.

Only if we distort the definition of fascism to mean any government that delivers justice on wrongdoers.

I want to crack down on free speech, not free thought. Well, not counting the re-education camps.

You know Britain once tried to stomp out an ideology in ireland back in 1919. 100 years later, southern Ireland is gone and northern Ireland remains in a cold war between Loyalist and separatist groups. It isn't as easy as "just put them in jail" friendo. This is why we have a free market place of ideas, because otherwise you get what northern Ireland had for three decades, the troubles.

I never said America was under impending threat from Communism. Communism hasn't been a threat to America since the Soviets shot themselves in the foot trying to prevent Soviet Democracy from becoming a thing.

Don't put words in my mouth, Gorm.

[Adamantium Archmagocracy]

Pretty sure both of them are. And if you take money from the insurance lobby and oppose Medicare for all, well, then you’re a corporate stooge. What “conspiracy”?

Thought crime isn't wrong doing

He's talking about for inciting riots, not for being communist.
