Elena Mora, Organizing Director of the Communist Party USA, went on CNBC to defend the "nationalization" of the Venezuelan oil industry by Hugo Chavez. This originally aired January 31st, 2007.

I’ve always wanted a button that reads, “Workers of the world unite, back by popular demand” — almost as long as I’ve wanted one that says, “May Day, made in the USA.”

May Day 2008 would have been a great time for both.

From the New York State Communist Party Blog

"NEW YORK - Trade unionists, housing activists, and residents of New York City public housing gathered at City Hall today to protest the Bush administration's proposed budget cuts to the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)."

Dynamic is the magazine of the Young Communist League USA. It includes art, politics, and culture written by youth, for youth.

The 2008 Spring Double issues includes articles about the youth impact on the 2008 elections, youth participation in unions, the writer's strike and its impact on a family that struggled through it, and much more!

As of this writing, the Republicans have settled on their nominee, and the U.S. is still in the midst of a Democratic primary race that has energized and mobilized millions of people, especially youth, across the country. In state primary after state primary, record numbers of people have come out to vote, or caucus, to add their voice to the millions debating the question: Who will be the Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) or Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)?

POLITICAL CLIMATE

There are so many things I could talk about right now with regards to the state of education, jobs, housing, and the on-going occupation in Iraq. But these days it would be difficult to mention these things without first discussing the 2008 elections.

Where will the money come from for a free post-secondary education and socialized health care system? Will the people drown in taxes? Will you rob the rich and give to the poor?

Most Americans are taught either in school or by their parents and families that we communists want to destroy religion and turn everyone into atheists. Well that's a myth, and not surprisingly started by the US ruling class. Listen to the truth about our relationship to religion and churches. You will be quite surprised.

Why do communists hate capitalism so much? Why do you think it's a failure? How would a communist society be any better? Haven't those been horrible failures too?

Global warming is not just an inconvenient truth. The result of ignoring the root causes will be much more than inconvenient. Or else understanding the root causes and other major environmental problems can lead to revolutionary truth.

Marc Brodine Chair, Washington State CPUSA district.
Dispels the myth that the CPUSA is or ever was a supporter of violent revolution.

"The clearest expression of this developing movement pivots around the candidacy of Barack Obama, whose inspirational message and politics have captured the imagination of millions. So much so that many commentators and politicians use the words 'transformational' or 'transforming' to describe his candidacy — that is, a candidacy capable of assembling a broad people’s majority to reconfigure the terms and terrain of politics in this country in a fundamental way."

"A landslide vote that changes control of the White House and improves the balance of forces in the House and Senate and in the states will create a new political dynamic in our country and the possibility to win gains far beyond the current platform of either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton."

At the March 2008 NC meeting, Elena Mora, Director of Organizing, presented the following report about building the Party.

PWW Editor Teresa Albano is blogging from India, where she is attending the conventions of the Communist Party of India and Communist Party of India (Marxist) representing the Communist Party USA. The Communist parties hold seats in the national Parliament and lead the governments in three of India’s states.

IT department sat down with Carolyn Trowbridge National Committee member of the CPUSA from Arizona to talk about her favorite Senator John McCain.
