From The Ashes of the Old: A Post-American Collapse Quest

[X] Angela Davis

Those two crossed out choices are our main foes huh. Angela's potential to go her own way might be the key to a less-bloody unification with the People's Commonwealth? Well, hopefully - them holding a plurality of America's industrial makes our fight daunting, not to mention there's a chance of nukes being in play between the three factions here.

Keep in mind that your opponents will not remain idle
There's this issue too lmao. Hard game ahead of us no matter who we choose

No such possibility, really. Reunification will be accomplished by revolution or by conquest, never by agreement (in particular, reunification with the Commonwealth by agreement would only subordinate the Communists to that country's hodge-podge political arrangement; better to rule in LA than serve in NYC).

A war is also unacceptable, however. Modern war is always first and foremost war against the proletariat.
 
[X] John Foster

I just love the drama of both catastrophically fumbling the need to grow and adapt the institutions of party rule and also quite possibly saving the entire planet
 
do I go John Bellamy Foster so people can learn about the metabolic rift or Angela Davis so people can learn about prison abolition ?
that's the real tough choice
I'll throw my vote in for Davis and tell people that "women, race, and class" is still a good read 40 years later (God it's that old huh? )

If this is a state built on soviet lines, going as the strongest in the Komsomol equivalent and attempting to wrest the entire party towards that course may not be the easiest or most effective way of maintaining stability in the ranks especially during this critical moment. Consolidation is likely to be hard and we will be likely advancing young cadres into positions arguably too senior for them before gaining experience if the power struggle is won. Its something of a hard mode start and I'd rather go for a more conventional party man then one with localized backing, and one cannot go that wrong by having the implicit backing of the military as a stick to keep various organs in line during the critical sprint towards consolidation and then reunification.

All in on the Moscow Loyalist

Angela Davis is a fine second option albeit I def prefer going for a Leninist and loyalist to the bloc, just not something we see often and I'm all for Leninism and collective leadership, but hard against the arch revisionist and nationalist reactionary Jarvis Tyler

I like Tyner's support for reconquering America to quickly unite it before the other Americas get too entrenched. However the social patriotism will not lead to good things down the line. The last thing we need is to infect the party with Amercanism brainworms. I'm not sure what the party's current stance is on black liberation, women's rights, and queer liberation, so I feel like tackling that will probably be a good thing if we're a socially conservative ML party. Foster's environmental focus, internationalism, and collective leadership are all good policies, but I want to to focus on social issues. I feel like that might help us in reaching out to organize resistance movements in the other two Americas too.

It's also a shame that Chicago and New York are under the control of traitors and revisionists. Those should be our cities. :(

We must secure the UASR by immediately building the necessary capacity to destroy both the revisionists in the Commonwealth and the reactionaries in the Republic, lest the 2nd American Revolution be strangled in the cradle.
