American Communist Party

The American Communist Party, officially known as the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), was founded in 1919 in the wake of the Russian Revolution. It aimed to promote Marxist-Leninist ideology and advocate for workers' rights, social equality, and the abolition of capitalism. Throughout its history, the party has faced significant challenges, especially during the Cold War, as communism was often viewed negatively in the U.S. Today, the CPUSA promotes progressive policies, focusing on issues like labor rights, social justice, and environmental protection while seeking to influence American politics from a leftist perspective.
