In reply to the discussion: How to handle the Democrat equals Communist Bull Shit: [View all]LeftInTX
(35,091 posts)92. Stay clear of Party for Socialism and Liberation. They are the communist party and trying infiltrate the
Democratic Party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_for_Socialism_and_Liberation
The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a communist political party in the United States. PSL formed in 2004, when its members split from the Workers World Party.
PSL describes itself as a revolutionary socialist party in the Leninist tradition, because the party believes that only a revolution can end capitalism and establish socialism. PSL pursues this goal by participating in local protests, running candidates in elections, and conducting political education.[7][8]
Notable members include Claudia De la Cruz, Eugene Puryear, Gloria La Riva, Jodi Dean, and Michael Prysner.

I wished Biden would have investigated their financial scheme, but Trump is investigating them. I blame them for the 2024 presidential loss.
Sorry about the RW link. I googled "federal investigation of party for socialism and liberation" and this is the most recent. I find it ironic that Trump is investigating the political party that put him in the WH in 2024. I have heard that some of the GOP, like Roger Stone supported them financially. So, I think this is going nowhere.

House Republicans have alleged ties between Singham and the Party for Liberation and Socialism, the Peoples Forum, the ANSWER Coalition and more than a dozen other far-left groups.

Another article more in-depth. It's a yahoo version of a Fox News article

(I don't know if any of the DSA candidates have any ties to PSL, but Democrats should not have ties to other pollitical parties. We don't have ties to the GOP and we also should not have ties to the PSL, whose goal is to destroy the Democratic Party. We're the Democratic Party, we support electing Democrats. We should not have support for any group that wants to destroy our party)
Note: The DSA, which endorses Bernie Sanders etc is not a political party. It is not the same as Party for the Socialism and Liberation. But they do have ties unfortunately. The DSA can decide who it wants to endorse. They can endorse a candidate from any political party.

Neville Roy Singham (born May 13, 1954)[1] is an American businessman and social activist. He is the founder and former chairman of Thoughtworks, an IT consulting company that provides custom software, software tools, and consulting services, which he sold to a private equity firm for $785 million in 2017.
In 2019, Singham started a consulting business with partners in the publicity department of the Chinese Communist Party; the partners are co-owners with Tongren City (Guizhou province) of a "media company that promotes anti-poverty policies" according to The New York Times.[3][4]
Singham, a socialist, is a benefactor of far-left causes, and an admirer of Maoism. According to The New York Times, he has provided significant funding for media outlets, organizations, and politicians around the world that promote pro-Chinese government propaganda.[5]

India also investigated Singham and pretty much came up empty handed.

Anyway, stay clear of them. There is always a little bit of truth to what Trump says. These PSL groups are everywhere and they have been protesting amongst Democrats. (You can tell PSL by their signs on wooden stakes) Democrats should not take pictures with them or get friendly with them.
Anyway, just say, "I can't stand that Party for Socialism and Liberation" and you're good to go!
We're the Democratic Party. We are not the communist party. We are not the Green Party. We do not support them!
