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 is posted by the ACP, not anything real. It’s still a fringe online ideology, nothing like the actual leftist groups doing work. And if there were anything academic or substantial backing this up, they would have to justify claims like the one about its “unprecedented rise,” which wouldn’t be possible. This is just an attempt at fooling people who don’t understand how academia or philosophy work, and it doesn’t really matter because, like everything else they do, it’s all happening online.
