Communist Party USA

The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) is one of several Marxist-Leninist groups in the United States. While the CPUSA played a significant role in organizing industrial unions and defending the rights of African-Americans in the 1930s and 1940s, it was effectively eliminated as a political force by McCarthyism and the Cold War.

Current activities

The current National Chair of the CPUSA is Sam Webb. The newspaper is the People's Weekly World. The monthly journal is Political Affairs. Current membership is around 2,500 and has been slowly growing.
