Paging cycloneman
Besides, Florida has multiple commie parties in it, I don't see what the point you're trying to make here is
The CPA is the direct descendant of the Socialist Party of Australia, an antirevisionist ML group that split from the original CPA in the early 90s when it turned socdem. Some time after the original CPA dissolved they decided to reclaim the name.
They are currently doing good work supporting the CFMEU and other 'militant' unions which are facing an existential threat under the current government. Their policies are excellent and their publication is good if pedestrian http://www.cpa.org.au/guardian/

conec posted:still... men joining a feminist party? that`s nebulous. it`s if i were in some LGBT thing or BLM thing even though i am white, and straight, and subconsciously a t.e.r.f.
i really don`t think men, especially young men, have any purpose participating in a feminist/socialist party. you`re a guy.. what are you doing? you don`t understand women`s issues whatsoever. join a different party, regurgitating someone else`s rhetoric is shameful.
have you ever spoken with an LGBT, or anti-racist, or even feminist, organizer... ever? cisgender/straight/etc white men are welcomed to help and participate in organizations all the time, there are totally legitimate situations where they are not welcome, and that is fine, but to extend that to "should never help with anything, ever, forever," is so obviously ridiculous that i'm genuinely confused here.
conec it is kind of interesting to me that you consistently oppose and belittle any attempts by anyone to do anything productive, and parrot long refuted and decrepit straw talking points to do so.
all-women feminist organizations play an important role in community and activism, but i've never heard of anyone meaningfully objecting to a large scale broad scope organization like a party attesting to a feminist program, which requires significant amounts of people to operate. objecting to male allies under all circumstances on the grounds that it is not feminist practice, well, I haven't heard of anything like that since...
that time when the CIA started paying "feminist" authors through the Ford Foundation in the 70s to schism white academic feminism away from black nationalism, anti-poverty, anti-war, and anti-imperialist activism...

yes
yeah that was snippy of me. and I don't mean that you're a spook, I mean that we should put on the brakes when the things we say align with known suppression tactics. the fact that cointelpro disruption targets small local activities shows us that they are a genuine threat to the dominant power structure, and so we should value them even as we struggle with finding ways to make them more effective and translate them into greater mass action.
i'm not gonna ask you to change your mind on any of this, i know we're all glib and angry here and that's fine, i could probably be taken to task for shitting on people too. i would just prefer it if when folks are talking about real world work they could be spared the usual reflexive vitriol.
