The Socialist Party has placed a candidate for State Senate on the Maine ballot. She is Maia Dendinger, running in the 5th district, around Orono. She is the first Socialist Party nominee on the ballot in Maine since 1952, when the Socialist Party’s presidential candidate, Darlington Hoopes, was on the Maine ballot.
The Socialist Party should not be confused with the Socialist Equality Party, which had a nominee for Maine State Senate on the ballot in 2006.
For an ideology that is based squarely on collectivism they sure do have a hard time coalescing into a single party
ALL the socialist parties in the USA went obsolete on Nov 1932 election day —
with the rise of the Donkey RED communist party.
How many Donkey RED communist party HACKS to be elected on Nov 2018 election day ???
— and get a MAJOR BLUE fascist party HACKS reaction ???
All sorts of alarm bells are ringing — as in 1773-1775 and 1854-1860
BOTH the RED and BLUE top gangsters are trying to get PERMANENT CONTROL of the USA regime
— since the States have been killed off by SCOTUS since 1936
— via perversions of the General Welfare and inter-State commerce clauses in 1-8.

My alarm bells usually start ringing when I click on a Ballot-Access piece and wonder what is latest weirdness Demo Rep will have posted.
Brandon, there are different types of socialists, from Trotskyists, Marxist-Leninists, Stalinists, and Moaists, let alone the anarchists, social democrats, and democratic socialists. While it would be nice to stop the fighting on the further left and coalesce into one party, I don’t think it’ll happen anytime soon. The Socialist Equality Party hates the Socialist Workers Party, the Freedom Socialist Party hates the Socialist Equality Party, and Socialist Action isn’t all that fond of Socialist Alternative and various other socialist parties. The Party for Socialism and Liberation barely has any ideological differences with the Workers World Party, they just don’t like the leadership.
The Socialist Party USA, which I would note is separate from the Socialist Party of America, which is who ran Hoopes, is multi-tendency, so they are, at least, trying to get some merge going on the left, but it’s something that will be extremely slow work.
“The Socialist Party USA, which I would note is separate from the Socialist Party of America, which is who ran Hoopes…”
That’s to be debated. I and many others consider the SPUSA to be a continuation of the SPoA’s lineage.
See the commie Lenin Bolsheviks in Russia-USSR killing off ALL other factions in 1917-1922.
See the commie Stalin killing off the olde Bolsheviks in the 1930s.
See the collapse of the USSR in 1982-1991 — due in part to all the killing in 1914-1953.
Which 2018 HACK in the USA is the New Age Lenin/Stalin/Mao — or even Hitler/Hirohito/Mussolini ???

Granted, Jeremy, they formed out of the Socialist Party of America, and I certainly wasn’t saying anything to be negative towards them. It’s just, technically speaking, they are separate organizations.
All of these socialist factions just seems like the socialist version of South Park’s Great Question debate in the Go God Go episodes.
