From the Tweet, it seems academia is slowly backing them up:
"🚨🇺🇸 REPORT: Researcher from University of Connecticut has published a paper on the rise of the American Communist Party.
“What we have found is that MAGA Communism –that is, the progenitor ideology held and reified in the ACP–is a novel contribution to American Marxism, and that in its substance the ACP is working to achieve counter-hegemonic, left-wing goals.”
“Simply put, MAGA Communism is now made relevant, and a mystified understanding, or one that reduces it to opportunism, is insufficient to assess its unprecedented rise.”
“What was once a ‘fringe’ online ideology"has become a rising force out in the open, and must be contended with by scholars of American Marxism and communist organizers alike.”

These are the same people that say “I can be way more racist than you.”


This guy’s a PhD candidate, not a professor. And this isn’t his thesis either. He’s just doing this for fun.
I wouldn’t say academia is backing them up. He’s just someone who fell for the grift.
If you look at his sources, he cites the ACP themselves for how big their organization is, not third party sources.
He wrote another paper earlier, so you can get an idea of what his writing is like

I guess we’ll find out, whether he’s granted his PhD or not.
Time will tell.
Damn, he might even be a member.
he is ACP
