I get that CPUSA has some bad reputation. This clip is a part of a call-in show. It features 4-5 calls from American hogs and the CPUSA guy responds to their questions. I think that this interview was interesting at least. I will post more information in a comment.

They’re probably definitely not actually run by feds (as far as anyone knows, COINTELPRO types are genuinely very hard to sus out by design). They have some institutional failings, however, if someone’s in it they’re like by default probably better on things than most Americans. I’ve been in CPUSA in the past and work with PSL now and in my experience PSL is better, however this may be an entirely local thing for me. You should investigate both and try and work with whatever you have locally; I have my disagreements with CPUSA’s strategies but I don’t want to be excessively divisive.
Oh, I thought you were in PSL?
I guess you just work with them.
Yes, some weaknesses in the CPUSA, I’ve noticed, over the years.
Being a member requires more time than I’ve put in, to my local PSL branch I’m just somebody helping out. I still need to take educational classes and oral tests to show I have the knowledge necessary to be a functioning party member.
Good, and good luck.
