The CPUSA has run for POTUS since the 1930's

The only difference now is that after being chased into the shadows during the Cold War, they now CONTROL THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

The mockie SANDERS is no Jim Ford, but his VERY PRESENCE ON THE DEBATE STAGE proves that A NEW ERA OF McCarthyism is ABOUT TO BEGIN.

Chase these perverted evil scumbags back under the rocks they have crawled out from.

COMMUNISTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

DEMOCRATS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The communist party has always used the US blacks as a tool in their operation to undermine the US.

Stalin said so.

Today the muslims are (quite successfully) aping the same procedure.

The US Communist Party and Blacks

The Sixth Congress of the Comintern held in 1928 changed the party’s policy drastically; it claimed that blacks in the United States were a separate national group and that black farmers in the South were an incipient revolutionary force. The Comintern ordered the party to press the demand for a separate nation for blacks within the so-called “Black Belt”, a swath of counties with a majority-black population extending from eastern Virginia and the Carolinas through central Georgia, Alabama, the delta regions of Mississippi and Louisiana and the coastal areas of Texas.

The party sent organizers to the Deep South for the first time in the late 1920s. The party focused its efforts, for the most part, on organization of miners, steelworkers and tenant farmers, starting in Birmingham the most industrialized city in Alabama.

The party also worked in rural areas to organize sharecroppers and tenant farmers. After leading a strike in 1934 that won higher prices for cotton pickers the Share Croppers’ Union membership increased to nearly 8,000.

Organizing in the North (1928 1935)

The party was also active in campaigning on issues concerning black Americans outside of the South.

The CPUSA organized among African Americans in the North on their local issues, campaigning against evictions of tenants, for unemployment benefits, and against police brutality.

In 1935, the Comintern sought to unite socialist organizations around the common cause of anti-fascism. The party had also started edging toward support of the New Deal by moderating its attacks on the Roosevelt administration.

The CPUSA joined with other non-communist groups to create a new organization, the National Negro Congress. A. Philip Randolph, a longtime member of the Socialist Party, served as its head. The NNC functioned as an umbrella organization, bringing together black fraternal, church and civic groups. It supported the efforts of the CIO to organize in the steel, automobile, tobacco and meat packinghouse industries.

On the other hand, the party continued to emphasize issues pertaining to black workers. A New York City school teacher and party member, Abel Meeropol, wrote the song “Strange Fruit” to dramatize the horrors of lynching in the South.

The party tailored its campaign for unity against fascism to appeal to the black community, as in the case of its opposition to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935. Black members went to Spain to fight in the Spanish Civil War.

The Party made more progress in organizing African-American workers in the New Deal era, particularly through unions associated with it, such as Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Union, which organized black miners in Alabama, the Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee, which created interracial coalitions in the meatpacking plants in Chicago and elsewhere, and the Food and Tobacco Workers, who established integrated unions with interracial leadership in North Carolina and Kentucky. Those unions established deep roots among the black workers in those industries, who remained supportive of the left leadership of their unions even as the party itself became increasingly unpopular in the late 1940s and the 1950s.

Party activists and organizers also played a significant role in organizing black workers in other unions, such as the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, in which the CPUSA had a role, but not leadership. In the SWOC the Party’s organizers suppressed their identity as communists and much of their politics in order to avoid political differences with Philip Murray, who headed the organizing the campaign, and the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which was financing it.

The Transport Workers Union of America formed coalitions with Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., the NAACP and the Negro National Congress in the early 1940s to require ambitious affirmative action goals in New York City public transit.
