Thousands of Young Republicans’ group chat messages filled with racist, sexist, and homophobic hate speech were revealed this week. Amidst condemnations from many different quarters, Vice President JD Vance attributed the toxic texts to “boys will be boys” chatter.
Yet, it’s clear that the MAGA right has become an incubator of fascist thinking, including praise of Hitler. Is this the inevitable result of the far right’s attack on wokeness? What should be the response? How do communists address these issues in relation to free speech? Join the discussion.

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
