Joe Simps is a co-chair of the CPUSA and self-professed "Democrat with a small D". During the 2022 midterm elections, Sims argued that "Democracy is on the ballot" referring to the Party's stance against MAGA republicans in favor of the fascist Democratic Party.[1]

He has written against core principles of Marxism-Leninism such as Democratic Centralism and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. He has also praised famous anarchist and anti-communist feminist Emma Goldman.

Polemic with Infrared/ACP

Why the Communist Party Needs to DITCH the Democrats, addressed "to Joe Sims and Rossana Cambron":

  • The popular-front-with-Democrats line subordinates the working class to "the Rockefeller bourgeoisie of the Democratic Party" — while Lenin said the monopoly bourgeoisie is inherently reactionary.
  • The CP's whole rubric for judging "progressive" derives from foundations funded by that same bourgeoisie.
  • On January 6 and elections: the CP defends "the illusion and veneer of democracy, not an actual democracy."

By 2025, with Sims publicly repositioning (COMMUNISM WINNING | WE'RE SO BACK stream): "Guess who's breaking out of their shell? Joe Sims... If there's no difference between Joe Sims and ACP anymore, then let's talk." Unity on condition of actual independence from the Democrats — the Grotewohl question in American key (Rossana Cambron, American Communist Party).
