American Communist Party (2024)

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

The ACP officially upholds Marxism–Leninism, specifically Xi Jinping Thought. The ACP supports the Chinese view of the Sino-Soviet split, considers the de-Stalinized Soviet Union as having been revisionist, supports the Cultural Revolution while also supporting Deng Xiaoping's pro-market economic reforms, and Xi Jinping. The ACP and its leaders have voiced support for China, North Korea, Iran, Nicaragua, Nicolás Maduro, and the Russian "Special Military Operation", stating that "today, as 80 years ago [in 1945 as the Soviet Union], Russia remains at the forefront of the world liberation movement".

The ACP has been described as "MAGA Communist". Both notable ACP founders Jackson Hinkle and Haz Al-Din have promoted MAGA Communism and similar "conservative communist" labels since 2022. MAGA Communism has been characterized as pro-social services, pro-tax cuts, anti-Zionist, anti-feminist, anti-queer, anti-"woke", and both anti-Donald Trump and pro-Donald Trump. The ACP leaders argue that MAGA Communism is a tool to shift the American working class away from capitalism and toward communism.
