Communist Party USA Chairman Vows Cooperation With Democratic Party
Daily Caller ^ | 1/29/2015 | Eric Owens

Posted on 01/29/2015 8:28:52 AM PST by b4its2late

The chairman of the National Committee of the Communist Party USA has penned a 2,023-word manifesto making the critical point that American Communists are eager to work with the Democratic Party to advance the modern communist agenda and achieve communist goals.

Communist Party chairman John Bachtell published his essay last week at People’s World, a “daily news website of, for and by the 99% and the direct descendant of the Daily Worker.”

“[L]abor and other key social forces are not about to leave the Democratic Party anytime soon,” Bachtell promised. “They still see Democrats as the most realistic electoral vehicle” to fight against perceived class enemies.

Bachtell, 58, is playing the long political game and he has a strategy, he said.

“First, we are part of building the broadest anti-ultra right alliance possible, uniting the widest array of class (including a section of monopoly), social and democratic forces. This necessarily means working with the Democratic Party,” the communist leader explained.

“Second, our objective is not to build the Democratic Party. At this stage we are about building the broad people’s movement led by labor that utilizes the vehicle of the Democratic Party to advance its agenda,” Bachtell further expounded. “We are about building the movements around the issues roiling wide sections of people that can help shape election contours and debates.”

“[W]e are for building movements in the electoral arena and see engagement in the electoral arena and democratic governance as a vital means to further build movements,” Bachtell also said.

To that end, he claimed, “thousands of trade unionists have been elected” at municipal and local levels of American government. Bachtell did not note a party affiliation of these elected leaders.

The rest of Bachtell’s declaration is mostly a somewhat modernized version of the same, garden-variety communist drivel communists have been spouting since roughly 1840.

Communists and other leftists have experienced “disillusionment with the Democratic Party” because of its “deep connections to Wall Street.” He is still mad at President Bill Clinton for NAFTA and welfare reform.

He’s mad at everyone about an increased number of private schools.

Republicans are an embodiment of caricatured evil for Bachtell.

“While the Republican Party is led by the most reactionary sections of Wall Street capital including the energy extractive sector and military industrial complex, it also consists of extreme right-wing elements including the Tea Party, white supremacists, social conservatives, right-wing evangelicals, climate deniers, anti-reproductive rights groups, etc.,” the communist leader writes.

Bachtell possesses a bachelor’s degree from Antioch College, an obscure, private hothouse of leftism that went defunct in 2008 and was resurrected in 2011 as an unaccredited, private work college.

This is news? The Democrat party was taken over by the Communists decades ago.

The CPUSA made an open declaration that it wasn’t necessary to field a presidential candidate,

because the democrat candidates sufficiently represent their platform.

Correct, and go to the CPUSA website, and see how much they love Obama, and climate change.

” American Communists are eager to work with the Democratic Party to advance the modern communist agenda and achieve communist goals.”

So are the Democrats.

through they were just one party anyway.

No problem though because the media is involved with all of this and fails to report any topics like this or even the white house saying now the Taliban is not a terrorist group.

“CPUSA and DNC were already one entity years ago.”

Indeed.

Soon to be expanded by the new Uniparty, sponsored by Bonehead and McDorkell.

Can’t tell which enemy should be vanquished first, Islam or Liberalism.

But, war will indeed come.

With both.

Obama is a Communist.

His mother was a Communist.
His grandparents were Communists.
His Uncle Frank Marshall Davis was a Communist.
His father was a Communist.
His step father was a Communist.
His mentors at college were Communists.

I went looking for the link that proves Obama himself once was a member of the CPUSA, but that’s probably been scrubbed.

Interesting that he should criticize Wall Street. His Bolshevik predecessors in Russia were financed by Wall Streeters. After all,it takes money to keep this phoney “proletarian” movement going.

Sadly, the so-called "progressive" view of politics is both negative and destructive to liberty, freedom, and opportunity, because it relies on politicians' use of the coercive hand of government to appeal to envy among segments of the population in order to "redistribute" the earnings of some, buy votes, regulate behavior and perpetuate dependency (slavery) among others--all in an effort to preserve power among the politicians.

Such a philosophy, when implemented, is oppressive, regardless of the name by which it is called.

Perhaps the Sons of Liberty portrayal of Samuel Adams might allow us to introduce to current generations, and so-called "Millenials," his clearly-articulated understanding of liberty versus tyranny.

"The liberties of our Country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have receiv'd them as a fair Inheritance from our worthy Ancestors: They purchas'd them for us with toil and danger and expence of treasure and blood; and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle; or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Of the latter we are in most danger at present: Let us therefore be aware of it. Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity; and resolve to maintain the rights bequeath'd to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. - Instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that "if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom." It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds, that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." Samuel Adams - Essay in the Boston Gazette, October 14, 1771

"When designs are form'd to raze the very foundation of a free government, those few who are to erect their grandeur and fortunes upon the general ruin, will employ every art to sooth the devoted people into a state of indolence, inattention and security, which is forever the fore-runner of slavery." - Article signed "Candidus," in Boston Gazette, December 9, 1771

"If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them." Samuel Adams- As Candidus in the Boston Gazette, January 20, 1772

"The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave... These may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutes of the great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." Samuel Adams - Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772

"It is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave." - The Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772

"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.” - Samuel Adams

And:

“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.” - Samuel Adams

“But one of the worst results of being a slave and being forced to do things is that when there is no one to force you any more you find you have almost lost the power of forcing yourself." - ― C.S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

This is not a one way street here. The feeling is mutual between these two orgs, if not kind of grey where the edge of one ends and the other begins. I'm picturing what would be a venn diagram, but two completely overlapping circles.

His mother was a Communist.
His grandparents were Communists.
His Uncle Frank Marshall Davis was a Communist.
His father was a Communist.
His step father was a Communist.
His mentors at college were Communists.

Add Bill Ayers, Cloward, Piven, and Alinsky

We have a communist in the WH, and people are worried about the air in footballs.
