The CPUSA (communist party usa) is a scam and in now way representative of Marx. Lenin or Mao. This is taken from the keynote from the 28th national convention.
"We gather on the eve of the day marking the revolution that founded our nation. U.S. communists take enormous pride in this great struggle that at once severed our colonial dependence on Britain and radically transformed the life of our country. Notwithstanding conventional wisdom, Marxism doesn’t cast a scornful eye at our democratic heritage nor thumb its nose at earlier achievements of humankind."
Radically transferred the balance of power from monarchy to capitalist.
"bourgeois democratic revolutions likewise have their own birthmarks and leave unfinished democratic tasks for future generations to address. "
WHAT is a bourgeois democratic revolution?!?! It is revolution to transfer power from one bourgeois to another bourgeois!
"We cannot allow the right wing to appropriate the symbols, language and images of our nation’s past and fasten them to their reactionary political project. It is sheer political folly to concede this ground to the right under the mistaken notion that nearly everything in our past is corrupted and compromised. "
Right wing left wing, there is no difference.
"Lacking legitimacy because of a fraudulent election, but harboring grandiose political plans, the Bush administration went into overdrive to transform this tragic event into a pretext and cover for its long abiding ambition—World Empire. "
World Empire was there under Bush and Clinton. FOOLS!
"In short, Bush wants to restructure the state into a repressive, redistributive, and undisguised mechanism in the service of the wealthiest families and corporations."
HAHA Menshiviks, they would sell out the proletariat for their own security.
"Demonstrations, mass lobbying, petition drives, and town hall meetings have shattered the calm in state capitals and municipalities. "
Yes let everyone think there is change with no change. Just don't pick up a gun!
"Ohio, Michigan and Arizona will have on their ballots this fall referenda to raise the minimum wage. "
Wage labor is still wage labor......Are these people communists?
"Meanwhile a much more ambitious campaign against Wal-Mart is being put in place by the AFL-CIO. We should join this fight in every city and state. "
placate the masses with more money, but still be a slave to capitalism.
"More than anything else, the fight to prevent the privatization of Social Security "
No we don't we fight for the elimination of the concept of Social Security.
"Meanwhile the Democrats so far are holding firm."
Democrats only hold firm to their purse strings!
"We and the larger left have a role to play in this regard, not so much at the national level, but at the local and state level where we have extensive contacts, good relations with labor and other democratic forces, and occupy some leadership positions.
At this stage such formations will more likely gain organizational coherence around one or another issue. Social Security comes to mind immediately and as we get closer to 2006, the elections will be another site. "
The more I read them the more they anger me.
"In doing so, we lay the ground for the formation of an all-people’s anti-corporate party whose task would be to curb monopoly power as a whole. "
Curb it?!?! I want to destroy it!
I could do this all day. I read on and on, on how they hate Bush but endorse Kerry. They talk of militancy as being willing to protest and sign petitions. Militancy is picking up a gun. How they want to work within the system, and endorse their ideas by using quotes from Lenin taken out of context. Here is a quote from Lenin:
"Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners."
These people who run the CPUSA make me sick to my stomach. They not only betray their own ideology, they betray their title. I think before anything begins in this country this group must change their rhetoric, change their name, or be wiped from existence. Their shopping page is the most disgusting part of their website.
They have commodified communism. They should be shot!
