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.

Antioch College is one of the fringiest, Left-iest institutions on the planet. The guy who was running the Pittsburgh Public Schools left to become Chancellor there when wealthy Liberals resurrected that school from the dead.
CPUSA Says Re-electing Obama is “Absolutely Essential”

Jeez, how I miss old Gus Hall...
LIEbertarians are just stalking horses for the Left - sometimes they even get paid for it (case in point Virginia)...
Yep, it’s just now in a manifesto! LOL
The dem party IS the modern-day communist party.
And the chocolate ration will be increased by a whopping 12.5%!
Doubleplusgood, eh? What a tme to be alive!
” just look at the commie manifesto back in 63 and then see what the Dems have passed “
I just reread the “63” document last week. The DNC is right on target.
” Five Year Plan, “
LOL
DNC welcomes CPUSA. RNC rejects Tea Party and Conservatives.
Years ago Senator Everett Dirksen (R) Ill. said “Republicans and Democrats have the same goals, just a different way of achieving them” I thought it BS at the time but apparently I was mistaken.
Just looking at it now and they have nearly completed all their goals, thanks to the Dem party and the liberaltarians
Oh I look at liberaltariansas social communists and anarchists. I have no time for them and many are drama queens who think the world is one big conspiracy against them.
The Pauls are shills for the commies too. Infiltrate the right , tell the younger ones what they want to hear about drugs , homosexuals etc.
I have as much distain for them as I have for the radical left as they are no different and that goes for the loons on here too who support the Pauls
‘’Reactionary’’. Boy, I haven’t heard that one since my old days of being a Leftie. “Reactionary’’. Ah, that takes me back. How about ‘’Running Dog Capitalist’’ and ‘’Flunkies of the Ruling Class’’?
The third criminal is the globalist GOPe.
I have been referring to the Dem Party as the “Progressive Liberal Democrat Communists Party” for a long time; I updated when Boehner was reinstated as speaker to the “Progressive Liberal Democrat/Rino Communist Party.
PLDCP updated to PLDRCP...where communists are concerned the acronyms are necessarily long as crisis, chaos, confusion and submission are a primary tenet of communism.
What’s new about that?
I’m sorry. I didn’t realize there was a difference. Forgive my ignorance
