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.

You mean they’re different? Who knew?
The Dems have been cooperating with the commies for at least 50 years.Maybe the communists are too dense to have noticed.
I sure as heck couldn’t tell any difference. Thus my tag line since...forever.

How revolutionary is it to vow to something thats been going on for decades? I wonder, was Lennon’s “Imagine” playing in the background while he penned his manifesto?
Really; this bit of “news” is just being tossed out there to imply they AREN’T the same...
Umm, this is old news.
Like, back to the 1930s when the Socialist Party dissolved itself from active political campaigning because, in their words, the Democrat party had adopted its complete platform.
Almost as much a non-news story as the ignorant, “Socialist” rug-muncher who was elected to the Seattle city council as a full-blown member of the Socialist party.
Every politician in Seattle is a socialist.
Seems to me that they have already been cooperating. They apparently feel secure enough about it to go public now.
The CPUSA has endorsed the democrats for some time.
This is by no means a new thing.
I am guessing you already knew that of course.

Reciprocity is a nice gesture.
Fixed it.
About time, considering the democrat party’s century long infatuation with the CP.
