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.

” 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.”
Look at the top leaders of the GOPe. They are funded by the SAME people.
Nothing new or unexpected here!
“The dem party IS the modern-day communist party.”
You would think that the Communist party would just fold up shop, given that having two parties is a waste of resources and overhead.
On second thought, it makes sense, because separately they can have two bureaucracies and employ more otherwise unemployable people.
“........We have a communist in the WH, and people are worried about the air in footballs.”

Absolutely correct!
The Democrat Party - the nutcase wing of the Communist Party.
Why don’t they publish their agenda instead of talking in broad categories which explain nothing about their goals? What I know about communism comes from the USSR, China, Vietnam.... Is this what they want to duplicate? Limited and probably shared housing, gulags, lines for purchasing a food item daily, work for the “state”, collective farming - everyone shares in the work of others, setting limits of number of children allowed in one family, etc.?
Come out and say so folks OR would that turn people off? You think?
I thought the Democrat Party was the Communist Party.
The only surprise here is that there is a Communist Party that is separate from the Democratic Party. I thought they merged years ago.
And the Republicans are the Social Democrats for the most part.
The problem with the Pauls is that they are right about just enough to fool a lot of underinformed folks who lean towards being conservative.
Are there enough idiots in the democrat party to fall for this garbage?
Love it!
Stand the CPUSA leadership up against a wall and shoot them.
Repeat as necessary.
