QHi, I recently came across your website and thought your organization to be very reasonable. I am a student in college and I was wondering if I could apply to be a communist spy. Any advice? :)
AHi,
Thanks for your interest in our clandestine ops/espionage program! Here’s how the process works. You apply for membership in our party, then continue your education, look for a job, participate in non-violent political activity in accordance with your beliefs, and live the outwardly normal life of a regular human being trying to get by in a system based on maximizing profits rather than meeting people’s needs. But get this: the whole time, you’ll actually be gathering and analyzing information on capitalism and sharing it with other members and allies of a legal, open political party that makes no secret of its goals or program.
You can report on your experiences under capitalism by submitting them as articles to the People’s World (stories@peoplesworld.org) or the party website (discussion@cpusa.org). You can even develop a secret identity based around a pen name if you’d like. You could be Eugenia Eagleson, a retired teacher from Naperville who’s concerned about the impact of climate change on her grandchildren. Or Larry “Big Jim” Hayes, a laid off mechanic who’s giving cello lessons to make ends meet until he finds another full time gig.
Or you could be yourself. You’re part of a generation that has inherited a world in deep economic, social, environmental, and political crisis, handed the task of solving a bunch of problems you didn’t cause. And that’s basically what all Communists are: not secret agents, not operatives of some foreign power, just average working people trying to save the world.
We’d love to hear your ideas on how to do it, comrade.
