Negroes, Jews and “civil rights”, who can forget the early work of Lev Bronstein (Leon Trotsky). Fresh from the Bolshevik revolution Leon was writing to Claude McKay, who just returned from the Kremlin. The goal: use the negro as a weapon to overthrow America.
“Negroes, the very vanguard of the proletarian revolution”
“The American Negros, for centuries the most oppressed section of American society and the most discriminated against, are potentially the most revolutionary element of the population. They are designated by their whole historical past to be, under adequate leadership, the very vanguard of the
proletarian revolution.
The SWP therefore, while recognizing the limitations and pitfalls of a mass organization without clearly
defined political program, and while retaining its full liberty of action and criticism , welcomes and supports any attempt by Negroes themselves to organize for militant action against our common oppressors, instructs its Negro members to work actively towards the formation of such an organization, and recommends to the party members to follow closely all such manifestations of Negro militancy.”

Interestingly, in the FBI Online Library of FOIA files, you will find W.E. B. DuBois around 1933 or so, denouncing the Communist Party USA in its attempts to recruit Negro members.
He told his readers that blacks should not become “cannon fodder for the Communist Party”. Unfortunately, due largely to his CPUSA wife Shirley Graham DuBois, WEB went over to the CPUSA and his declining mental health kept him there.
His son also was a red.
As for the SWP, it did recruit a lot of young blacks in the 1960’s, a few of whom are still in what is left of it.
Meanwhile, the head of the DC/VA Communist Party, Maurice Jackson, came out of the CPUSA’s “W.E. B. DuBois School of Marxist Studies” in DC, of which I, moi, me was a student until I left due to unmitigated boredom.
Interestingly, Jackson wrote much of the vaunted D.C. Statehood Party’s “Constitution” which leftist fools like Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, supported, along with Statehood Party leaders Marxist Julius Hobson, his red wife Tina, and the CPUSA’s top supporter, Josephine Butler.
Jackson now teaches Afro-American History/Studies at Georgetown University. Just goes to show you that if you are a traitor to America, you can always get a job in academia.
