Could someone add a section on splinter parties, the Trotskyite ones and others? I, and perhaps others, came here hoping to see a bit, or links, to American Communist Parties generally, not just the mainstream one. editeur24 (talk) 15:34, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the article is about the main party. Are there articles on the other parties? Are they significant (via coverage in mainstream publications) to have an article? Can you provide links to reliable sources that talk about them? If you want changes, it helps if you provide more information, like the name, a site, a reliable article on them, etc. Dennis Brown - 2¢00:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
People keep adding 20k members with only a primary source, whereas the secondary sources are saying 5,000. They removed the actual reliable source. I've tagged as dubious, and put in BOTH claims with sources. Watching the video to see if they actually mention the number, as the person who added it didn't bother to add a timestamp, the same as we would expect a page number for book cites.

I've restored the 5,000 membership and the source. The 20,000 claim was not found in the source given. There has been a couple of people, for years, trying to pump up the numbers to show 20k members using primary sources and claims, but without any reliable sources, and this fake claim seems to be part of that. You are free to watch the whole video (mind numbing as it is) and point to the time stamp if you want to dispute my claim that it doesn't exist. Dennis Brown - 2¢01:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have noticed that the American Communist Party (ACP), which split from CPUSA in July 2024, has had all references removed from this page. I cannot see how this is justified except by ideologues who are attempting to suppress a factual split in the CPUSA that has garnered major attention in the same political circles CPUSA occupies. I believe attempts to remove this without justification will clearly show this page is being edited according to the political motivations of its editors. That there is absolutely no mention of ACP, nor of the previous mention of ACP in this Talk section, is extremely concerning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZFoster11 (talk • contribs) 02:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strangely, all edits and mentions of ACP, even when citing legitimate sources, are removed. This is reminiscent of the previous pattern of behavior whereby the official ACP wikipedia page was graffitied with unsubstantiated nonsense before being taken down for the back-and-forth "edit wars."
The reliable source cited was the ACP website, which was properly linked.[1] ACP has been officially recognized and congratulated by the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Palestinian People's Party, Palestinian Communist Party, People's Democracy Party (South Korea), Unified Communist Party of Georgia, Russian Communist Worker's Party, Socialist Party of Latvia, Congolese Communist Party, Communist Party of Zimbabwe, Vatan Partisi, Kurdistan Communist Party Iraq, Partito Comunista (Switzerland), The Pole of Communist Revival in France, Unión Proletaria (Spain). Additionally, it has been recognized by CPUSA itself in a letter signed by Joe Sims.[2] Here, Joe Sims denies that 28 chapters left to join the ACP. Additionally, it has undeniably become a major force in the political discourse, has accrued 71% of the following CPUSA has online, and is arguably far more influential than CPUSA as far as impressions go and as far as accruing online attention or impacting the public discourse; this can simply be verified by looking at views, likes, and attention generated online between the two organizations.[3] As far as its presence offline, it is arguably more active than CPUSA, and its activity is logged here.[4] Additionally, it has its own journal and ISSN number going on four editions.[5]
It would be interesting to know why a registered political party that has accrued the attention it has is repeatedly omitted from the CPUSA Wikipedia page, despite the CPUSA's Joe Sims acknowledging it (even if to deny its legitimacy). In my view, it is clear this is being edited with political motivations. For those accusing me of the same, I challenge you to find the bias in simply reporting that, in July of 2024, members from 28 Chapters of CPUSA and half of PCUSA formed the ACP.
