Communist Party USA

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is a political organization in the United States that advocates for communism, a system where resources and means of production are collectively owned and operated for the benefit of all. Founded in 1919, the party promotes social justice, workers' rights, and anti-capitalism, aiming to create a classless society. While its influence has waned since the peak of labor movements and the Cold War, the CPUSA continues to participate in electoral politics and collaborate with other leftist groups toward its vision of social and economic equality.
