For all the criticisms of the CPUSA, of which I have many, I don't think ascribing him the entirety of it's failings is quite fair; especially when considering that he is simply a contributor to and not a member of the CPUSA as far as I'm aware. I think you're putting the horse before the carriage, he's simply a ML, Jackson Hinkle and Infrahaz are examples of explicit "Patsoc"s and the gap between them and Second Thought is comically wide. If the charge is simply that he's contributed to CPUSA, then, okay? I don't think that's the same as being able to accurately label him as under the same banner as these kinds of ramblings below
PatSocs are bad because they adopt ML ideas and twist them into allowing racism, sexism, and queerphobia to run amock in their communities. They don't build anything and instead create cults with leaders like Lyndon LaRouche; as much as I disagree with CPUSA's direction and completely ineffectual leadership, I think considering JT due to his proximity to be on a similar level to Lyndon LaRouche is a wild overcorrection.
Additionally, I should note that when I was a member of CPUSA everyone was very clear that all the LaRouchites, Haz fans, and Borgar King Caleb Maupin appreciators had no place in that space. I think you should criticize CPUSA in order to find the correct line, but I think you may not be using a common definition for Patsoc when it includes CPUSA

Eugh, Sam Webb, what a dickhead. Yeah, no, I don't know if patsoc would be the correct term or be translateable to other people as it's already got a pretty set definition, but there is no room for "American" patriotism. It's weird, frankly, maybe I'm abnormal but the US just makes me feel icky now. I don't know what comes after but I hope it's not the United States.
