AHAHAHAHAHAHA HE DID THE THING
HE CITED LENIN SAYING THE CPGB SHOULD ALLY WITH LABOUR
If you want to know why this is breathtakingly stupid, read this article

Or read the original appeal by Lenin here

Bro this isn't theory this is just a Chomsky quote
Literally all of these quotes are referring to a communist party participating in bourgeois elections (one of them even explicitly names the communist party). This doesn't support his point in any way
I would bet everything I own that Vaush hasn't read a single bit of this. Every single quote here refers to the collaboration of communist parties with bourgeois *WORKER'S PARTIES*, not with bourgeois parties like the democrats, and especially not to voting for bourgeois parties
"In America...the communists must make the common cause with the party which will turn this constitution against the bourgeoisie and use it in the interests of the proletariat."
I'm sure Vaush unironically thinks this refers to the Democratic Party lmaooo

God, this is so stupid. He continues to try to use Lenin support for CPGB allying with a bourgeois worker's party to argue for workers to straight up vote for a normal bourgeois party, without even the minimal independence of their own party in alliance with the bourgeois party
a) This does not imply capitulation to bourgeois parties
b) This is impossible without an independent communist party
c) this is equally impossible without a communist party. How Vaush plans to count the number of communists when everyone votes D, idk
d) also requires a CP

Lenin clearly showcases what he meant by allying with the petty-bourgeois democrats against the conservatives in the passage immediately following the one Vaush cited earlier
Every single one of these traits also exists in bourgeois democracy
Joe Biden has also:
1. Promoted violence against protesters, and under his vice-presidential administration, the same sort of crackdown was exercised against Occupy
2. Advocated arresting anarchists/antifa/basically whoever opposes the state
3. would definitely do this too

He's trying to use New Democracy (which is the temporary alliance of the proletariat with the bourgeoisie against FEUDALISM) to prove that communists need to join the Democratic Party and vote Biden
This is correct: it also has nothing to do with his point. Not only is Trump not a fascist, but we can also fight fascism without capitulating workers' political independence to a bourgeois party.
Notice how he uses the KPD not wanting to ally themselves with the same party that literally slaughtered their members as an argument at the end there
TL ; DR
VAUSH CAN'T FUCKING READ
