I believe those linkages still exist ~ and connect old line Commie operators in Russia and corrupt but modern Chicago politicians.
Re connections between the Mafia in Chicago and the Communist networks.
Saul Alinsky admitted that he used the Mafia structure to organize his groups. He had connections with the Mafia on some issues.
In the past, I’m willing to bet that the CPUSA made some secret deals with the Mafia but Al Capone was long gone when the CP came into a powerplay position (probably in the late 40’s/early 50’s). The CP became a powerhouse in labor unions, esp. the MeatPackers and United Electrical Workers.
It seems that in Chicago, everyone knew who everyone was and made political deals accordingly. There was a significant Mafia presence in Chicago until the last 80’s, early 90’s (I worked on an organized crime task force which involved some of the Chicago Mob. Janet Reno skunked the investigations because LIUNA gave the Clintons and DNC millions of dollars in contributions over the years).
One link in Chicago was that of the CPUSA and the black political movement. Often they were indistinguishable; in other cases, it was a case of mutual interest. Obama’s mentor Frank Marshall Davis came out of the communist/left black movement in 1940’s Chicago, ended up as a CP-possible Soviet operative in Hawaii (where he was befriended or befriended Obie’s grandparents and mother) and had come from Kansas just as they had. Coincidence? Just wait on this one.
The CPUSA operated on several levels in Chicago, openly, thru the Chicago Peace Council, their front, the Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights, etc, and often had an unofficial alliance with black publishers (esp. Alice Palmer) and possibly Vernon Jarrett, the Chicago Defender, etc.
They also operated out of WILPF, WSP, MCHR, etc. many of whom were led by friends of Obama.
One Soviet registered propaganda agent David Canter was allied with CPUSA workhorse LeRoy Wolins (Mobes, CPC, Vets for Peace, an old CP front, etc). Canter teamed up with another leftist Don Rose (whose red front/cause record, by his own admission, goes back to the 40’s).
Rose became David Axelrod’s “mentor” (there’s that word again), and apparently Obama knew Canter too.
Then there is the old SDS/Weathermen network that started with Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn, Marilyn Katz, Mark Rudd, Jeff Jones, Carl Davidson (Maoist), etc. in Friends of Obama and Progressives for Obama.
“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we attempt to deceive.”

The red crap runs deep in Obie’s Chicago and it is getting deeper every day.
