On the eve of Black History Month, we discuss issues of concern to African Americans during this election year, especially voter suppression, and class unity versus “identity politics.” Plus: announcing the next Marxist Classes webinar, on Dr. Michael Honey’s book To the Promised Land, about Martin Luther King Jr. and the fight for economic justice; and the discussion question of the month on the CPUSA website.

The Communist Party USA is a working class organization founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
