	Communist Party USA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The factional infighting within the CPUSA did not end, however; the communist leadership of the New York locals of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union lost the 1926 strike of cloakmakers in New York City in large part because of intra-party factional rivalries.

	Earl Browder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The CPUSA reconstituted itself as the Communist Political Association.

	William F. Dunne and the Fight Against Revisionism in the CPUSA
		Shortly afterward, under the pressure of the international communist movement,(5) the CPUSA was forced to rescind this act of betrayal of the working class.
		The revisionist CPUSA was targeted because of its verbal (though hollow) espousal of socialism, its proclaimed opposition to the expansionist war-drive of U.S. imperialism, and its formal support of the USSR.
		The CPUSA and all workers it could influence were therefore committed to support of candidates of the "most progressive" of the two capitalist parties - the Democratic party.

		However, in late 1992, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a historian in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, John Earl Haynes, learned that the CPUSA had secretly shipped these records to the Soviet Union more than 50 years ago, where they were kept in a closed Communist Party archives.
		The CPUSA has always been a secretive organization; while occasional government raids, subpoenas, search warrants and congressional investigations made some documentation part of the public record, the quantity was never large because of the party's practice of hiding or destroying records.
		This material is thought to have been in his possession at the time of his death and was added to the CPUSA collection by Comintern archivists.

		Crucial to the efforts to rehabilitate and idealize the American Communist Party was the contention that it was a grassroots organization of socially conscious Americans, fighting for social justice, concerned with mainly American conditions, and not subservient to the USSR.
		The faithfulness of the CPUSA to Soviet policies was also illustrated by its avid support of the Soviet authorities in their various doctrinal disputes and domestic political campaigns, in particular those waged against the followers (real and alleged) of Trotksy and Bukharin.
		The CPUSA depended on the Soviet Union because of its small size and the fact that it received little support from the American working class.

	An Essay on Historical Writing on Domestic Communism
		One consisted of the CPUSA headquarters in New York to which was attributed the regrettable part of Communist history: subordination to Moscow, support for Stalin’s purges, cheers for the Nazi-Soviet Pact, contempt for political democracy, and fervent belief in Marxism-Leninism.
		Two weeks later, mid-September, the Comintern informed the CPUSA that this was a wrong guess and provided some guidance on the proper interpretation of the Pact, and one point was that Polish resistance was not to be cheered.
		To say that the CPUSA was nothing but a Soviet fifth column in the Cold War would be an exaggeration; it still remains true that the CPUSA’s chief task was the promotion of communism and the interests of the Soviet Union though political means.

		A recent speech by CPUSA national chairman, Sam Webb, suggests a looming threat to that tradition.
		Webb casts aside the CPUSA's long established commitment to a vanguard party for the vague notion of an "assemblage" of "core constituencies" marching towards socialism.

		The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and its general secretary Earl Browder assisted with recruitment efforts, and soon the KGB’s network was providing high-grade intelligence from within the United States government and defense and technology firms.
		The residue effects of the Red Scare and McCarthyism and the evisceration of the CPUSA severely damaged KGB efforts at recruitment.
		The last major illegal, "Willie" Vilyam Fisher, better known as Rudolf Abel, was betrayed by his assistant Reino Häyhänen in 1957, in all likelihood leaving the KGB without a single illegal residency in the United States, at least for a major span of time.

		CPUSA: Bush is bankrupting the Federal Government with giant tax cuts for the very rich and super-funds to the military instead of securing the budget for human needs by taxing the rich and spending on human needs.
		CPUSA: Bush is denying civil liberties and free speech in the name of fighting terrorism instead of repealing the USA Patriot Act and helping cities, towns and states fund firefighters and police.

		So is the claim that CPUSA members were evil or immoral in their conduct, although many of you appear to view mere belief in Marxist ideology as evil or immoral.
		The people who attended CPUSA meetings were ordinary human beings with the foibles we all have; they gossiped, they complained, they disagreed, they engaged in internal intrigue, they manipulated, they bragged, they made mistakes.
		The CPUSA and its members were slavishly dedicated to the goals of a murderous totalitarian monster named Joseph Stalin; Haynes, Klehr and others make this clear with a super-abundance of evidence.

		The communist movement has set itself the tasks of constructing the vanguard party of the proletariat, rallying the proletarian masses around the vanguard and all popular forces around the proletariat, creating a force capable of overthrowing the bourgeoisie, and destroying the bourgeois state apparatus through the establishment of proletarian dictatorship.
		Rejecting the pretensions of the CPUSA to be this revolutionary party, Marxist-Leninists hold that the CPUSA has revised the principles of Marxism-Leninism and renounced revolutionary class struggle.
		But as opposed to the situation in many European countries or Japan, the revisionist capture of the CPUSA did not lead to the development of a mass reformist party, but rather to the effective liquidation of the Party.

	A Comment On The Statement Of The CPUSA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The CPUSA statement was particularly vicious in slandering the Chinese Communist Party for the position it took on the Caribbean crisis.
		These leaders of the CPUSA often speak of “two power centers in Washington, one in the White House, the other in the Pentagon”, and speak of “the Pentagon generals and admirals and their coalition partners among the ultra-Rights, the Republican leaders and Wall Street” as forces independent of the White House.
		The fact that certain leaders of the CPUSA are so eager to prettify U.S. imperialism and so eager to affirm their loyalty to the ruling class of the United States recalls to mind Browder’s revisionism, which existed in the CPUSA for some time.

		Espionage, while not the CPUSA’s chief task, was nonetheless an important task of the movement until the late 1940s.
		And it was a task that grew naturally out of the CPUSA’s expectation that the growth of Soviet power would eventually bring about a situation where its seizure of power would move from the realm of the theoretical to the possible.
		The chief reason the Soviets used the CPUSA is an obvious one: it enabled them to accomplish a great deal more than they could otherwise have done.

		Its unique contribution is to approach this controversy from the perspective of First Amendment theory, taking into account recent evidence that the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) was the American arm of the Stalinist Soviet enemy, and was heavily implicated in espionage against the United States.
		Part I of this Review discusses the Smith Act prosecutions, in CPUSA leaders were prosecuted for promoting violent revolution against the government.
		However, in judging the Smith Act prosecutions, historians may consider not only constitutional issues, but the moral status of the defendants; whether freedom of expression suffered any lasting harm; and whether the goal of destroying the CPUSA's usefulness to the USSR for espionage was, in context, a particularly important one.
