CHICAGO — America’s Communist Party concluded its national convention here seemingly united around two themes: that they are a significant ally of the increasingly powerful left-wing in the Democratic Party and that there remains a viable future for the party.
As to the question of whether the CPUSA emerges in control or is instead absorbed into the broader socialism movement already peppering the platforms of Democrats running for president in 2020, officials expressed confidence the red star of their party will continue burning.
But in the meantime, all goals should be subsumed by one: beating the dreaded President Donald Trump, CPUSA Chairman John Bachtell said in his keynote address.
“The aim is to oust Trump and the Republican Senate majority, defend the Democratic House majority, and break the GOP domination of governorships and state legislatures,” Mr. Bachtell said.
Since the day of Vladimir Lenin, the still-revered father of Bolshevism, Communists have reveled in the vitriol they hurl at political opponents, and Mr. Bachtell did not disappoint.
“He has no morality, no heart and no soul,” he told the roughly 300 delegates who gathered here for the Party’s national convention. “Trump is a gangster masquerading as president.”
In a wide-ranging interview with The Washington Times, Mr. Bachtell reiterated that the modern CPUSA is not seeking a violent revolution.
“I feel very strongly it has to be peaceful, it has to be accomplished politically,” he said.
Such views appear to clash with The Communist Manifesto and its explicit call for the “violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie.”
With a rueful smile, Mr. Bachtell conceded there were some hardliners within the Party who would relish some broken glass and bloodshed, devout Communists who think the current line is somehow a bit squeamish.

I believe there are millions of supporters of the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment that may take issue with that.

Ahhh ... he forgot to tell that to Soros and all the Antifa street thugs.
ABSOLUTELY
Anti-freedom, anti-truth, anti-individual, anti-life collectives
Time to destroy the communists once and for all.
This is nothing new. The CPUSA hasn’t run a candidate for president since Gus Hall retired in the 1990s, because election campaigns have gotten too expensive. Instead, they simply endorse whomever the Democrats nominate.
See my tag line.

Lenin was a saint.
Make no mistake. The grinning communist would kill every person to the right mitt Romney if he could.
Seems these people are a threat to the USA and should be deemed as such. Even the democrats should support this (if they are still touting USA) ... maybe not?
Commiecrats are the real gangsters. They’ll be in your house regularly to ‘check-in’ with you. For your ‘welfare’, of course.
It always amazes me that the people who advocate the violent overthrow of the USA aren't deemed a threat. Joe McCarthy learned a lesson about that, quite unfairly.
Communist Party chair declares at convention: “Trump can go to hell!”
He' already been there, it's called North Korea.
[[“He has no morality, no heart and no soul,”]]
The damned hypocrisy of the left is stunning- Their projection knows no bounds-
Bump!
“..that they are a significant ally of the increasingly powerful left-wing in the Democratic Party ..”
Nothing new about that.
Pray for Trump and those who protect him.
Pray hard!
American Communist Party.....nuff said.
