Communists to Obama: We’ve got your back

Posted on February 13, 2014


To think that being a communist used to be against the law with the Communist Control Act of 1954. Now liberal, progressive, socialism, and communism are all synonyms.

Check it out:
With Democrats facing a real possibility of losing the Senate this November, the Communist Party USA has announced the cavalry is planning to ride to their rescue by helping unite the left and stave off “right-wing extremism.”
The plans were announced during a web streaming event held by party Chairman Sam Webb Wednesday titled “Taking care of the future: from here to socialism.”

The event was part of the party’s national convention process which will culminate later this year in Chicago, where the party was formed in 1919.
Webb told listeners that there is no direct path to socialism and that to arrive at their destination they would have to pass through different stages. He stated one of those steps was to work with other left-wing groups to press for issues important to the left.

“We can talk about shortening the work week, green jobs, restructuring the economy, we can talk about the de-militarization of the economy and putting those people back to work in jobs that are productive,” Webb said. “The starting point has to be this immediate engagement, but once we do that many things become possible such as more radical demands.”

A web chat with Sam Webb, National Chair of the Communist Party

"The Communists fight for the attainment of the immediate aims, for the enforcement of the momentary interests of the working class; but in the movement of the present, they also represent and take care of the future of that movement." - Communist Manifesto

How do socialists and communists engage in the day-to-day struggles like the fight to raise the minimum wage or reinstate unemployment insurance while keeping an eye on long-term vision? In a period where working people and the broad-based progressive movement are so often on the defensive, how to address issues like political independence, radical demands and even socialism? How exactly do we "take care of the future of the movement?"

Join us for a Google+ Hangout webinar with Communist Party chairperson Sam Webb. This event is part of the Convention Discussion leading up to and through the 30th National Convention of the Communist Party this summer in Chicago, IL. There will be a short presentation followed by Q & A.
