People are paying too much attention to the body. The title is “tries to re-capture,” not "opposed multiple corps landing."
In 1954 the Khrushchev summarised political committee decides that humiliating the United States via its back door is essential. The chosen method is patient long term work with indigenous communities via covert organisations: the matter is not treated as a political "Delegate to CPUSA" item, but rather as an internal state matter in a constituent republic merely occupied by a foreign power. As such the underground network is recruited from Americans who are recuited by front organisations recruited by front organisations, with little if at all direct connection back to official Soviet Views. This increases the effectiveness of the activity as, on the surface level, it seems to be protestant charity combined with some kind of national self-respect stuff.
Obviously the attempt to re-capture fails, but results in a very different 1970s in Alaska as a variety of the seeded and economically assisted talented tenth / bourgeois nationalist / anti-US pro-indigenous stuff percolates. Possibly peaking at cross borders criminal undergrounds. Giving Canada and Washington State a messier 1980s as well. The current status is a low intensity primarily criminal cross-border network of anti-state conducts, combined with an inherent anti-US and partially anti-government mentality in indigenous communities. This makes Alaskan policing 'fun' for all involved. It also makes Alaska viewed internationally as a festering ulcer of hypocrisy.

Dear Comrade Sam R.:
Surely Hawaii offers much better prospects for detachment from US imperialism: a larger indigenous community and a much larger Communist presence due to the ILWU (with strength among Filipinos and Japanese as well as Native Hawaiians). The situation was worrisome enough for Hollywood to make a John Wayne movie about it:

Unfortunately, instead of following a correct, Leninist line on self-determination up to and including independence, Comrade Jack Hall
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Hall_(trade_unionist) and the rest went along with bourgeois reformers like John A. Burns, resulting in the petty bourgeois "Democratic Revolution of 1954": "The Hilo Longshoremen led by Jack Kawano began unified
strikes in the 1930s. The Hilo Longshoremen merged with the
ILWU, and
Jack Wayne Hall was sent to Hawaii. Among these unified strikes was the disastrous
1938 strike in Hilo against the Inter-Island Steamship Company. During
World War II striking was put on hold as the members dedicated their efforts towards the war. In 1944 the ILWU and
Communist Party of Hawaii put their support behind the Democratic Party since it became apparent that Burns and his movement wanted to empower the
working class. This meeting in 1944 has been considered the beginning of the movement. The movement became known as the "Burns Machine".
[3] Burns admitted in 1975 that Communist Party members in the ILWU provided vital experience in maintaining secrecy and organizing support among labor workers while keeping the early movement underground.

See Lenin's letter to the Socialist Propaganda League in 1915: "And we assert that Socialists in America, especially English Socialists, belonging to the ruling, and
oppressing nation, who are not against any restrictions of immigration, against the possession of colonies (Hawaii) and for the entire freedom of colonies, that such Socialists are in reality jingoes."

With Bolshevik-Leninist greetings,
