What does independence mean when you live in a country split in two?
This week, GMR breaks down Independence Day through a Marxist lens, starting with the massive divide between the capitalist ruling class and the multiracial, multinational working class. While the MAGA ruling class pushes a revolting mix of white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and imperialist war, the working class is gearing up for a completely different battle — a revolutionary fight for consistent democracy and true liberation. We’re fighting for freedom from the fascist threat and independence from the capitalist class.
Which side are you celebrating?
Also see What, to the working class, is the Fourth of July? in CPUSA.org, and USA at 250: The revolution we’re still fighting for in People’s World.

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party 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.
