He declares that Democrats offer the “most realistic electoral vehicle” in the fight against greedy Wall Street capitalists, the Tea Party, white supremacists and right-wing evangelicals. “He” is the chairman of the Communist Party USA, John Bachtell, who says that American Communists are ready to align with the Democrat Party to achieve their goals.
As writer Eric Owens points out in a piece for The Daily Caller, Bachtell wrote a 2,000-word essay detailing his reasons for embracing the Democrats. It was a manifesto of sorts published at People’s World — a “daily news website of, for and by the 99% and the direct descendant of the Daily Worker.”
Excerpts from the Communist chief’s writing provide clear insight into why he urges his comrades to work with Democrats and against Republicans. Admitting that American Communists are disillusioned with the Democrats, Bachtell argues that the party still offers the better policies and programs for “winning advanced economic and social democracy, and even winning a green, democratic, demilitarized socialism.”
…the Democratic Party is also home to labor, African Americans, Latinos, other communities of color, women, most union members, young people, and a wide range of social and democratic movements. These constituencies exert influence on party leadership and hold positions at all levels.” Bachtell also notes that Democrats and Communists are more in sync politically because “labor and other key social forces are not about to leave the Democratic Party anytime soon. They still see Democrats as the most realistic electoral vehicle to advance their agenda, especially in the national battle against the extreme right.”
It’s also interesting to note that an article posted at the Communist website peoplesworld.org praises President Obama for his recent State of the Union address.
“…an upbeat and forceful President Obama signaled that rather than retreating in the wake of Republican victories in last November’s election he intends to use the remainder of his second term to push hard for a progressive agenda on behalf of the nation’s working people.”
Fixed.
I thought the Democrats and the Communists were pretty much the same crowd...
The Communists must have moved left. They were on record, if I recall, as thinking he was too far left for them.
I hate to say this but Id bet that a majority of Americans dont even know what a communist IS!!
They have been in lockstep for decades, it is just more apparent now with Obola and the current regime working overtime to destroy the country.
Time for the HUAC Hearings again!!!
The commies love to eliminate the useful idiots when they take over..
Stalin, Mao, and Hitler and Mussolini and Togo murdered millions of their OWN PEOPLE... FIRST!..
Commies have no problem with murdering a few BILLION people.. including MUSLIMS... and Christians..
some Hindus, and even some communists IF they are the WRONG communists...
Russia didn’t eliminate their NUKES, they just MOVED THEM..
These DEMONcrats will not regret a thing; they will call it evidence of their tolerance and inclusion (an undocumented enhancement, so to speak).
They cannot be embarrassed. In fact, they revel in (cutting right to the point) evil.
If anyone knows something truthful about this guy I’d be surprised. He needs to be exposed and sent where he belongs which is not here.
Why would the Communist party want to “align” with a party they already own?
The American Communist Party has been aligned with the Dems for decades. They don’t even have their own candidates for President and Vice President anymore. They’ve been endorsing Dems since the 1988 election.
Shocker!
well he hasnt lied aboiut his golf game......that much/
where it counts.. hes at least as dupicitous as any human who;s ever lived!
democrat, liberal, left-wing, progressive, socialist, communist, totalitarian - synonyms.....and the enlightened among us are aware of this. What is he hoping to accomplish?
I figured from the headline that Obama had somehow hugged the whole democrat party.
Most of today’s Democrats take an endorsement by CPUSA as a resume enhancement and not a liability. For all intents and purposes, the Donkey Party and CPUSA are joined at the hip.
