    I don’t think so yet, but someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I’m guessing they’re consulting lawyers and discussing within their committees and such. The good thing about a democratic centralist organization is that they hopefully should be able to respond to this quickly, so I’m surprised they’re taking this long, but hopefully it means a good and solid response of “fuck you, we haven’t done anything, we don’t have to”.

      Eh. The hearings in the second red scare, HUAC, the Hollywood blacklist. They can haul whoever they want in front of congress and send them to prison and that especially applies to communists in front of special fascist panels. Not saying they should fold but uh they could absolutely start identifying and arresting and imprisoning leadership to say nothing of murdering them.

      So it’s not necessarily so simple as asserting their rights, worth trying but you need a better plan than that because this guy isn’t going to go “aww shucks” and back down over that. They’re in full press the envelope of legality mode with all these actions so it’s impossible to know for sure where they end up.
