The American Communist Party (ACP) is a communist political party in the United States and Canada. ACP formed in 2024 when its members split from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).

Contents

ACP officially upholds a unified tendency of Marxism–Leninism, [2] [9] [10] specifically Xi Jinping Thought. [3] [4] [5] ACP supports the Chinese view of the Sino-Soviet split, considers the de-Stalinized Soviet Union as revisionist, supports the Cultural Revolution, [5] supports Deng's pro-market economic reforms, [5] and supports Xi Jinping. ACP and its leaders support China, North Korea, Iran, [7] [3] Nicaragua, [11] Nicolás Maduro, [12] and the Russian "Special Military Operation", [13] [14] stating that "today, as 80 years ago [in 1945 as the Soviet Union], Russia remains at the forefront of the world liberation movement". [15]

ACP leaders have been associated by some media outlets with "MAGA Communism," although ACP does not formally adhere to it as an ideology. [6] [16] [17] [18] ACP founders Jackson Hinkle and Haz Al-Din have promoted MAGA Communism and similar "conservative communist" labels since 2022. [2] [3] [19] [20] MAGA Communism has been characterized as pro-social services, [12] [20] pro-tax cuts, [12] [20] anti-feminist, [12] anti-queer, [21] [12] [22] anti-woke, [4] anti-environmentalist, [21] [19] [12] anti-"mass immigration", [22] [23] and anti-Donald Trump. [12] ACP leaders argue that MAGA Communism is a tool to shift the American working class away from capitalism and toward communism. [20] [12] [24]

History

Origins

Prior to 2022, one of the ACP leaders, political activist Jackson Hinkle, was a "Bernie Bro". [12] [25] Another ACP leader, Infrared streamer Haz Al-Din, previously supported the Bernie Sanders presidential campaigns, but did not vote for him; [21] he also held Western Marxist and Bordigist views before embracing Marxism–Leninism. [26] [17]

From 2022 to 2024, a group of self-described anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninists associated with Haz Al-Din attempted to join and remake the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), in order to "reclaim" CPUSA from "liberals, federal agents and Democrats". [21]

In May 2024, CPUSA's 32nd National Convention passed Resolution 5, which supported a "broad front to defeat Trump, Trumpism, and the MAGA Republicans". [27] Both the MAGA Communist and Maoist Unity–Struggle–Unity factions of CPUSA opposed the resolution. [28] Al-Din's group opposed CPUSA's support for the Democrats and claimed that CPUSA had violated democratic centralism by suppressing opposition and limiting debate over Resolution 5. [9]

Split from CPUSA

The American Communist Party (ACP) split from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), and uses a modified and updated version (left) of the CPUSA's hammer and sickle (right) as its party symbol.

In July 2024, the Infrared-led group split from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and created the American Communist Party (ACP). [29] [30] [6] [9] ACP described itself as "[a] reconstitution of the Communist Party USA", which had rejected Marxism–Leninism and embraced "allegiance to the Democratic Party". [9] Founders included Jackson Hinkle, [6] [31] Haz Al-Din, [6] and former Party of Communists USA (PCUSA) leader and International Freedom Battalion volunteer Christopher Helali. [9] ACP has since positioned itself as a patriotic American alternative to CPUSA. [7] [6]

ACP claimed that 26 CPUSA and PCUSA clubs had changed their affiliations to the new party. [30] Julia Steinberg of The Free Press stated that ACP "boasts the support of more than thirty CPUSA clubs and cells". [6] CPUSA leadership denied this, [30] [32] and 10 CPUSA clubs listed in ACP's founding declaration denied signing it on their official social media accounts. [30] [33] In response, ACP claimed "these accounts are controlled by" the "[Joe] Sims clique", not "authentic representatives of the clubs". [30]

Subsequent history

In April 2024, before ACP's founding, ACP think tank Institute for a Free America hosted a Free America to Free Palestine event in Dearborn, Michigan, which attracted controversy for its unique mixture of anti-Zionist, pro-Russia, and MAGA rhetoric. [34] [35]

In August 2024, ACP joined the World Anti-Imperialist Platform (WAP). [8]

In November 2024, in Orange County, Vermont, ACP International Secretary Christopher Helali won a write-in campaign for high bailiff, [36] [37] a largely ceremonial position, [38] with 5% turnout. [39] [40] From November 2024 to November 2025, Helali was the only member of a communist party who held elected office in the United States. [36] [37] In January 2024, CPUSA member Denise Winebrenner Edwards and Socialist Alternative member Kshama Sawant both left office. [41] [42] In November 2025, several CPUSA candidates won city council elections. [43] [44]

In March 2025, Hrvatska radiotelevizija called Hinkle "the most famous American communist today". [45] On return from Yemen, US Customs and Border Protection briefly detained Helali, which Foreign Policy said "further cement[ed] his credentials" as an anti-imperialist. [46]

In November 2025, Valley News reported that Helali owned one of Jeffrey Epstein's address books, which showed Epstein's connections to former US presidents, Israeli prime ministers, members of the British royal family, and Saudi Arabian officials. Helali stated that "Donald Trump's entry in this book is enormous, for example, and his name is highlighted". [47] In 2021, Business Insider had publicized Helali's possession of the book, made a searchable copy, and hired a forensic expert who found that the book dates to 1997 and had not been altered. [48]

In December 2025, Jesse Watters of Fox News showed social media footage from ACP California Chapter's physical fitness camp, which Watters described as a Democratic Party-run "commie boot camp". In response, Stephen Miller claimed that the Democratic Party is a "communist party" that supports "DEI communism". [49] [50] Later in December, ACP member Addison Aronson was selected to join the Dubuque, Iowa Arts & Cultural Affairs Commission. [51] [52]

Political position

ACP is a Marxist–Leninist party, [9] [10] adhering to an ideology it refers to as the "Unified Tendency of Marxism–Leninism". [10] [5] The party's ideology has been described as "patriotism, communism, rejection of capitalism, and defense of working people". [53]

In a 2025 ACP explainer video, Chairman Haz Al-Din stated that ACP regards Xi Jinping Thought "as the latest synthesis of Marxism–Leninism", [5] and in an interview he described it as "the most advanced comprehensive development of Marxism-Leninism to date", [54] tracing its development from Deng Xiaoping and Mao Zedong's contributions. [5] Al-Din argued that while the party acknowledges Deng's contributions to Marxism, Deng also "presented many problems, such as the ecological pollution, corruption, and wealth inequality", which had to be corrected. [54]

ACP defends Joseph Stalin and Stalinism, [6] and cites "Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao" in its declaration. In contrast, CPUSA does not mention Stalin or Mao in its program. [55] The ACP criticizes Nikita Khrushchev's de-Stalinization, seeing it as historical nihilism and a significant factor in collapse of the USSR. [54]

MAGA Communism

MAGA Communism is a political meme and discursive strategy popularized in 2022 by the ACP founder Haz al-Din and later promoted by figures including Jackson Hinkle. [2] [6] [36] [20] [19] [3] Rather than a formal ideology or party platform, proponents have described it as a tool of political messaging and information warfare intended to disrupt existing alignments within U.S. politics. [56] Notably, MAGA Communism has not featured on official ACP material and has not been held out as ACP's ideology.

According to statements by Al-Din, MAGA Communism was developed as a means of reorienting left-wing politics away from what he characterized as Democratic Party-aligned "pan-leftism" and returning to class struggle politics. [56] [57] [58] Al-Din stated that he started the MAGA Communism movement to reject an American left "out of touch with actual working people" and associated with alternative sexualities and a lack of patriotism. [21]

Other commentators have characterized MAGA Communism as a full-blown conservative communist ideology [2] [6] [36] which "cast[s] issues such as transgender rights, the climate crisis and racial justice as neoliberal distractions". [21]

Multiple sources emphasize that MAGA Communism functions as a rhetorical or mobilization device rather than a coherent ideological system, with ACP leaders argue that MAGA Communism is or was a tool to shift the American working class away from capitalism and toward communism. [20] [12] [5] [24] ACP leader Jackson Hinkle argues that ACP supports MAGA voters rather than Donald Trump, arguing that "MAGA is now surpassing Trump" and "if Trump does bad things, they'll abandon his own movement", adding: "That's why I didn't vote for Trump." [4] ACP leader Carlos Garrido described MAGA Communism as "a vehicle for viralization" and "a communism adapted to the unique conditions of the American class struggle". Garrido argued that "the MAGA working class showed every sign of being ready to be conquered by struggle", so MAGA Communists worked to "show MAGA that they could only make America great again, not through Trump and the two-party duopoly, but through communism". [59]

ACP leader Haz Al-Din similarly argues that, while Trump is anti-communist, he attracted working class and anti-establishment voters and questioned the "dogmas" of "political correctness" and "globalization", thus creating a movement that can "achieve more left-wing transformations than the left itself", which is stuck in "ideologically pure but irrelevant spaces, subjugated by wokism". [60]

Sean Stanton, writing in Cultural Logic, argues that MAGA Communism is a heterodox Marxist–Leninist theory which sees MAGA as "a left-wing, inherently communist movement" and therefore holds that "the American revolutionary subject in present day is MAGA, itself, and it is the work of communists to articulate its needs and conduct mass politics". Al-Din sees other communist parties as captured by the "open society", a "non-state apparatus" composed of "NGOs, think tanks, universities, and lobbyists", which fights to preserve hegemony of "American financial capital". [18]

Chinese professor Wen Tiejun favorably compared the persuasive power of MAGA Communism to Chinese communism: "[H]ow can MAGA be combined with communism? [....] In essence, [MAGA] is nationalism. Consider the Communist Party of China's struggle against Japanese invaders – was it mobilising the masses through communist ideology and theory? No, it relied precisely on nationalism." [61] Russian Eurasianist political philosopher Aleksandr Dugin described Hinkle and Al-Din as "Marxists who support Trump", "allies of conservative Tucker Carlson", and "committed to dismantling liberal dominance". [21]

Domestic affairs

ACP's program calls for the nationalization of large corporations; the cancellation of all debts; abolition of the US Federal Reserve in favor of a "People's National Bank"; "AI-driven national economic planning"; "the abolition of the University-Industrial Complex"; a right to refuse medical interventions; an end to "mass immigration" in favor of "population exchanges on a rational and planned basis"; and a moratorium on genetically modified food pending a “comprehensive investigation”. [23]

ACP supports and upholds Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and postulates an analogical model of Socialism with American characteristics, which would adapt to the "nation's history, our values, and ultimately, create a communist order unique to the United States". [4] ACP upholds the Marxist-Leninist line on "socialist patriotism". [36] ACP supports anti-fascism and states that communists must oppose "fascist tyranny", "racist nationalism" and "authoritarian repression". [62]

ACP rejects and criticizes "woke culture" [4] and several of its leaders have declared that "Marxism is not woke". [63] ACP founder Hinkle called himself an "American Conservative Marxist Leninist" [64] and argued: "Communism and Marxism historically have been conservative [...] It's a new era in the West that made it adhere to liberal-leftist values. This is not true Marxism. It's Marxism funded by George Soros". [19]

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation stated that ACP "relies strictly on class struggle, rather than on 'identity politics' – the so-called gender, race, and sexual struggles that are so popular today in America and Western Europe." [65] ACP leaders argue that "the most absurd aspects of wokeism" were intentionally designed to prop up the "dissident right", which they reject. [66]

ACP leaders have described America as "occupied by" a Zionist "international monopoly cartel", [67] and argued that the American working class must ally with the MAGA movement to fight "globalists" like George Soros. [19] [3] In October 2025, ACP leader Haz Al-Din told China Daily that the United States government is controlled by the "Epstein network" to serve "a small private cabal", which is why the U.S. demonizes China. [68]

Foreign affairs

ACP is a second campist party that strongly supports an anti-imperialist "multipolar axis" against Western imperialism, financial capitalism, and globalism. [7] [3] ACP chairman Al-Din argues that "all nations today" must choose between "obedience to the ruling financial capitalist class or sovereign, national development". [69] In an interview with the Yevgeny Prigozhin-backed United World International website, [70] Al-Din stated: "The [main] problem [in the world] is what Michael Hudson calls Super-Imperialism, a system in which the United States acts as both creditor and debtor in the global economic system". [71]

ACP's program calls for the "unconditional destruction of NATO". [23] In opposition to NATO and the West, ACP and its leaders support an "axis" including Russia, [7] [72] North Korea, [7] Hezbollah and Iran, [7] Hamas, [7] the Houthis, [45] Nicaragua, [11] the People's Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party, [21] [3] Ibrahim Traoré and other leaders of the Coup Belt in Sahelian Africa, [73] the Haitian resistance led by Jimmy Chérizier, [1] and the Irish Republican Army. [4] [74] It also supported Bashar al-Assad and Nicolás Maduro, praising the former as a 'socialist hero'. [22] [12]

ACP opposes US support for Ukraine. [12] The ACP supports Russian forces in the Russo-Ukrainian War, arguing that Ukraine represents the legacy of fascism while the Russian Federation follows the legacy of the Soviet Union in providing assistance to socialist and developing countries. [75] ACP stated that the people's militias of Donbass "embody the American traditions of fighting for freedom". [76] The ACP asserts its full support for the Russian "Special Military Operation" and has provided humanitarian aid to Donbass "to make the lives of people there better and help them fight NATO aggression". [13] [14] In May 2025, together with the Left Front, ACP made a declaration that "today, as 80 years ago, Russia remains at the forefront of the world liberation movement". [15] ACP further stated: "The ongoing Special Military Operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine is the main epicenter of the modern anti-fascist struggle. The multi-vector policy of the Russian Federation, aimed at overthrowing Western globalist hegemony and building a new, just world order – such a policy corresponds to the spirit of the Great Victory and should be supported by progressive left forces around the world." [15]

ACP is anti-Zionist and opposes US support for Israel. [2] [67] ACP supports an independent Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital. [77] ACP "does not recognize the illegitimate entity called Israel", calling it "the Zionist project, whose fascist character has long been evident to the world" which "has always been fundamentally contrary to the historical process by which nations acquire legitimate and authentic existence". ACP calls for Palestinian independence, stating that the Palestinian struggle "is closely linked to the struggle for sovereignty and self-determination at the global level". [78]

ACP supports the Communist Party of China [3] [21] and opposes the Taiwan independence movement. [12]

ACP's platform is pan-Americanist, supporting the annexation of Canada and formation of a continental "United Republic". [79]

International connections

Europe

In July 2024, immediately after its foundation, ACP signed a friendship treaty with North Korea as well as with the Georgian Communist Party, concluding the treaty at the house where Stalin was born in Gori, Georgia. [63]

In December 2024, ACP sent 55 boxes of humanitarian aid to Donbass. [76]

In January 2025, Hinkle interviewed Romanian politician Călin Georgescu, who finished first in the annulled 2024 Romanian presidential election. [80] [81] Hinkle praised Georgescu as "the man who leads the fight for sovereignty, Western values and Christianity, who wants to stop World War III"; [82] he condemned annullment of the election as a "coup orchestrated by Sorosist globalists and NATO that blocked the campaign". [83] Hinkle then interviewed George Simion, the leader of Alliance for the Union of Romanians whom Georgescu, who was banned from running, endorsed in the 2025 Romanian presidential election. [83]

In February 2025, ACP met with the representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) and Russian Left Front. [84] ACP and the KPRF provided a diesel generator, food, medicine, and equipment for Russian forces in Donbass. [85]

In April 2025, ACP representatives attended the KPRF's 2nd Anti-Fascist Forum in Moscow, Russia. [86]

South America

In July 2024, ACP congratulated Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and recognized him as the legitimate victor of the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election. ACP leaders Jackson Hinkle and Christopher Helali served invited as international observers and spoke in favor of Maduro. [87] [88]

In November 2024, the Workers' Cause Party (WCP), a Trotskyist party in Brazil, congratulated ACP on the election of Helali as a high bailiff, calling it a "historic achievement for the American left". Despite ACP's Stalinism and WCP's Trotskyism, WCP calls ACP its "sister organization". [89]

On October 22, 2025, ACP International Secretary Christopher Helali spoke at the 9th International Anti-imperialist Conference in Caracas, hosted by the World Anti-Imperialist Platform (WAP) and United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). [90]

Middle East and Turkey

On July 27, 2024, Helali met with the representatives of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF). The PPSF representatives praised the ACP for its "intellectual and political identity" and "its principled positions in support of the Palestinian cause and all just causes in the world", while Helali affirmed ACP's support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with capital in Jerusalem. [77]

In February 2025, ACP leaders Helali, Al-Din, and Hinkle attended the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, the third Secretary-General of Hezbollah. [2] [91] [92] ACP leaders praised Nasrallah as a "hero of the revolutionary forces and freedom-loving peoples around the world". [93]

In March 2025, on International Quds Day, party founder Jackson Hinkle gave a speech at Al-Sabeen Square in Sanaa, Yemen, during which he pledged ACP's support to the cause of the Houthi movement and decried the "terrorist attacks" carried out by the United States against Yemen. [45] Christopher Helali and Hinkle spoke at a Houthi-organized pro-Palestine conference in Sanaa with guests including Adil Abdul-Mahdi, Zwelivelile Mandela, Clare Daly, and Mick Wallace. [46]

In July 2025, Hinkle participated in the 2025 Eastern Mediterranean Black Sea Conference, meeting with Doğu Perinçek, the chairman of Turkey's Patriotic Party. [94] At the conference, Hinkle announced the partnership bewteen ACP and the Patriotic Party, stating: "We are very happy to partner with Vatan [...] The revolutionary tradition embedded in Turkey's history is an example for the region [....] If all forces that fight against imperialism – like Khomeini – come together, Russia, China, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea will defeat imperialism."

Party Ideology: [....] But basically, the official ideology of the American Communist Party is something we've called "Marxism–Leninism Unified Tendency". What the Unified Tendency basically means is that it's a specific interpretation of the synthesis of Marxism–Leninism that is made on the basis of practical historical contributions to the implementation of the principles and methods of Marxism and Leninism across history. So in general, we regard the sinicization of Marxism up to Xi Jinping Thought as legitimate. So when it comes to the Sino-Soviet split, we share the Chinese criticism of revisionism. We uphold even Mao's Cultural Revolution. We simultaneously recognize the significance and contribution of Deng Xiaoping's Reform and Opening Up. And finally, Xi Jinping Thought is something we regard as the latest synthesis of Marxism–Leninism. [....] MAGA Communism is not, in fact, the official ideology of the party.

En días pasados, portavoces de este sector, entre ellos el propio Hinkle, anunciaron en internet la creación del Partido Comunista Americano, que busca presentarse como alternativa «patriótica» al CPUSA, y contrario a la izquierda socialdemócrata y progresista.

[....] "Communism and Marxism historically have been conservative. It's a new era in the West that made it adhere to liberal-leftist values. This is not true Marxism. It's Marxism funded by George Soros," Hinkle told OANN host Addison Smith on Sept. 19, evoking the name of the billionaire and target of countless antisemitic conspiracy theories.

The MAGA Communists exist, even if they are full of histrionic contradictions. They support Trump, who paradoxically wants to ban Marxists from entering the country. [....] They pursue a communist future — one that subsidizes state services — but they also champion tax cuts. [....] MAGA Communists say they don't fully agree with Trump's political vision. But addressing the working class through him, they explain, is the only way to channel working-class militancy away from capitalism and towards a communist future. The result is a strange and marginal alliance that includes people who hate feminism, environmentalism and the LGBTQI+ movements. [....] Ultimately, MAGA Communism, Reid Ross notes, is "a far-right agenda placed in an anti-imperialist environment."

Ele diz que nos países comunistas nunca houve grandes fluxos de imigrantes, nem manifestações feministas ou LGBT. O homem soviético nunca sentiu vergonha pelo orgulho que nutria pelos seus antepassados e valorizava a família tradicional.

It's an overall strategic perspective which is based on the idea that the MAGA movement in 2016 marks – and especially Trump's election marks – a new chapter in the history of American politics and requires that communists in this country need to gain a new perspective. They've kind of just been out of touch from the American working class for a very long time. They've lacked any kind of basis or justification for even being relevant. And the MAGA movement or MAGA is reorienting politics not just in America, but you could argue on a global level. There's this tendency for politics to be refocused toward the question of national sovereignty, toward the question of more national specificity, you know, after this era of so-called globalism. [....] This makes MAGA a viable basis from which to rearticulate the relevancy of communism in the new age. [....] For all of the mainstream communists, historically, of course you put your own nation's workers first. You put the workers of the nation you live in first because that is the basis – that is the context in which communism can develop. It has to be a national context. It has to assume a national form.

Complete obedience to the ruling financial capitalist class or sovereign, national development. This is the choice for all nations today. Türkiye has no need to emulate America or the West. For centuries, Türkiye was the envy of the entire European world. It has surpassed them in culture, technology, science, and economy. The West, due to its own arrogance, will never accept Türkiye. Trying to resist this reality is a great national humiliation. [...] There is no safety, security, or dignity in being a vassal of the American Empire. There is no pragmatism in it either.

  87. Aguayo, Claudio (August 9, 2024). "Comentario: Una política de la verdad". Publicación Trimestral Gratuita (in Spanish): 8. ISSN   0719-0271. Habría que evitar, por un lado, lo que Badiou llama el "simulacro", es decir la fidelidad, no a un acontecimiento, sino a la "particularidad cerrada de un conjunto abstracto"; los arios, los alemanes, los soviéticos. Una de las formas más escandalosas del simulacro en la oferta ideológica contemporánea es el movimiento estadounidense conocido como MAGA communism, un grupo de estalinistas que apoyan a Donald Trump. Según ellos, al asumir como suya la consigna Make America Great Again se acercan mágicamente a la realidad de la clase trabajadora estadounidense. Esta fidelidad abstracta a los "trabajadores estadounidenses" termina convirtiéndose, lamentablemente, en un portavoz de segmentos rojos de la izquierda; al punto que Jackson Hinkle, uno de los líderes del MAGA communism, fue invitado como observador internacional a las elecciones recientes en Venezuela. Una aberración ideológica de este tipo sólo puede ser explicada por el momento de confusión global al que asistimos, descrito como "liminal" por el expresidente boliviano Álvaro García Linera. Representa una persistencia inaudita de las llamadas políticas de identidad, incluso ahí donde se anuncia su superación mediante la violencia. La peligrosa fascinación contemporánea con el estalinismo, la reivindicación directa de Stalin —la figura más perniciosa en la historia del socialismo— responde también a la necesidad de buscar nuevas formas de lo que Walter Benjamin llamó "estetización de la política". No hay nada más irrenunciable en el capitalismo tardío que esa necesidad colorinche del sujeto por experimentar un nuevo estadio del espejo, una nueva construcción estético-corporal del ideal del ego. El estalinismo, que constituye una cultura completa y total, pictórica, literaria y musicalmente, cumple esa función posmoderna a la perfección. De ahí su lastimoso atractivo para parte de la juventud rebelde. De momento, una política de la verdad debería evitar los coqueteos con la fidelidad al simulacro. Hay una dimensión saludable en el formalismo como política, en la matematización proletaria, en la desistencia de las identificaciones estéticas, en el rechazo radical de toda estetización de la política. Esto no implica censurar un derecho al goce de los productos culturales del socialismo real. Todo lo contrario, implica sobretodo recuperar en ellos su dimensión utópica y emancipatoria separándolos de la "identity politics" estalinista.
