Communist Party USA: Eager to Work with the Democratic Party to Advance Communist Goals
February 8, 2017/in Culture War, Economy, Policy, Politics/by Discover The Networks
Upon its inception in 1919, the CPUSA was inextricably linked to the Soviet Communist International (Comintern), which was controlled by Moscow leadership and possessed “uncontested authority” over all international parties. When it was founded, the Party had approximately 50,000 members.
By the 1920s, the CPUSA’s membership had dwindled to approximately 15,000 because the Comintern forced it to adopt an ultra-revolutionary stance and give up attempts at “coalition building.” The Great Depression presented the Party with an opportunity to recruit and build its membership. Thus the CPUSA used hard times as a propaganda tool to assail the failure of capitalism, targeting particularly the liberal policies of the early FDR administration while successfully infiltrating government agencies, notably the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.https://drrichswier.com/2017/02/08/communist-party-usa-eager-to-work-with-the-democratic-party-to-advance-communist-goals/
