They started with LA and now troops are being deployed in D.C. under the pretext of fighting crime, even though crime has dropped significantly in the nation’s capitol. The White House has threatened to send the military to other cities using the same pretext. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has been ordered to create a rapid response “Reaction Force” in case of civil unrest. Where will they go next? What are the broader implications of Trump’s involvement of the military in domestic affairs? Is this a case of creeping fascism, where the military slowly but surely walks the streets of our cities?

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.
