COMMUNIST STATES OF AMERICA

Filed under: Insurgents at home, Liberals in Power — Rich Davis @ 7:54 pm

Below are excerpts from the Communist Party USA website.  It’s chilling how familiar it is.

 (from Politics 1 website)  As for issues, the Comunist Party USA calls for free universal health care, free college education, huge tax hikes for corporations and the wealthy, drastic cuts in military spending, massive public works programs, the outlawing of “scabs and union busting,” public ownership of energy and basic industries, and various other programs designed to “beat the power of the capitalist class … and promote anti-imperialist freedom struggles around the world.”


Here’s more from the Program of the Communist Party USA website:
We, the working people of the United States, face tremendous problems today: exploitation, oppression, racism, sexism, a deteriorating environment and infrastructure, huge budget deficits, and a government dominated by the most vicious elements of big capital and its political operatives. This government, despite its rhetoric about making Americans safe, has wasted hundreds of billions on the invasion and occupation of Iraq while it cut money for maintaining the levees—leading directly to the disaster that Hurricane Katrina wreaked on the people of New Orleans and much of the Gulf Coast. Their callous disregard for African Americans, for poor people, for the elderly, and for all those unable to evacuate on their own exemplifies their inhumane disregard for the lives of all working people.
We as a country face serious choices: militarism and imperialism or peace, increased wealth for the few or justice and equality for the many, increased power in the hands of the super-rich or expansion of democracy for the vast majority, ultra-right domination of all branches of government which deals with problems by increasing exploitation and oppression or progressive electoral coalitions that seek real solutions in the interests of all working people.
The working class and all who work for a living—the vast majority of the people—face a relentless, vicious, and amoral enemy: the capitalist class.
Their foremost weapon to maintain their dominance is racism, used to divide working people and achieve extra profits. They work hard to extend ultra-right control over the government and government policy.

  1. Wow, this sounds a lot like a book I love. I’ll leave the name of it to imagination, but the initials are A.S.

  2. These communist party people are more dangerous than ever. This is not free speech, this is a threat! These words are somewhere between fantasy and total lies. All forms of communism have been violently manifested in one form or another.It creates classes of the previleged and the rest some form of equality. An equality where people are equally POOR. And a centerly controlled government will ensure that’s the way they stay. Check it out, can’t find it a history book, ask anyone who left (escaped) socialism/communism.
