The mainline American Communist Party (Communist Party USA) has been a LARP put on by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for decades (cf. The Man Who Was Thursday).

Traditionally (and if the mainline adjective didn't tip you off) CPUSA belongs to a school of communism known as anti-revisionism, which for the sake of brevity I will define as "Stalin was a p. cool guy, you know?"

People got kind of sick of the whole FBI LARP thing (which I don't get, who wouldn't want to LARP on the taxpayers' dime?) and engaged in the time-honored communist tradition of splitting from a party and starting another one. The PLP is one of the oldest (to use a tech term) forks from CPUSA still in operation. IIRC they originated in the 60s.

Since they don't have their origins in the Sino-Soviet or Sino-Albanian split they don't really have a ton of cache in anti-revisionist circles.

So it's a break out of a break out from some dudes pretending to dig Stalin?

It's only one degree of splitting. CPUSA is (and forever will be) the "official" communist party of America.

At least until Bob Avakian saves us all.

So are we members of the People's Front of Judea or the Judean People's Front?

We're political economists and advocates for Bob Avakian's New Synthesis.
