Excerpts from the Classics: African American Equality and Racism
This subpart of National Oppression presents just a couple quotations from Lenin applying his general theory to the African American people, showing he followed the question and considered it important, his attitude toward the oppression and its solution.
Industrial concentration and the clubs
This is an important and a unique opportunity to discuss industrial concentration. We have not only our national leadership; we also have a great cross section of our club leadership in one place...Even though many of you newer comrades will be hearing of this policy for the first time, industrial concentration, in one form or another, has been a cornerstone of our party since our founding in 1918.
Main Report to the January 12-13 meeting of the National Board, CPUSA
'This meeting of our National Board takes place exactly a month before the next meeting of our National Committee. That meeting should take full measure of the present status and prospects of the struggle against the Bush administration's fierce offensive against the working class and people at home and abroad. It should also assess our Party's role in this struggle, including our efforts to enlarge our influence and size.'
The Great 2000 Election Battle
(Opening to the National Committee, Nov 18, 2000) Jarvis Tyner, Executive Vice Chair, CPUSA Good Morning Comrades. This 2000 election has been one tremendous struggle from beginning to end. Beyond any doubt this is one of the most incredible election struggles ever in our history. I wish Comrade Gus was here at this meeting; I would really like to get his thinking on this one. This election has many...
Pre-Convention Opening Report
This is a political crisis of serious proportions. Bush and his crowd are trying to achieve by anti-democratic - one could convincingly argue fascist - methods what they could not achieve by fair and democratic means. It is a thinly veiled attempt to undo the people's will and takeover over all three branches of our federal government.

Political Landscape 2001, Opening to the Natl Board

Keynote Address, 27th CPUSA National Convention
A Convention is a crowning moment in the life of a Communist Party. It is the highest deliberative and decision-making body in our Party's structure. Unlike the conventions of the Democratic and Republican parties, our Convention doesn't aim to showcase a few leaders, but rather to be a model of working-class democracy, of thoughtful and comradely discussion, and of democratic decision-making.
Discussion on Strategy and Tactics
For now all of us should bear in mind the following: our party has always adjusted its concepts of struggle - strategic and tactical - to the shifting contours of political and economic developments. We in this room are not pioneers in this sense.
Election Crisis in Florida
What's developing is tremendous. Palm Beach will never be the same again, and neither will the people's movements or the Communist Party. I want to appreciate the work of the comrades in Florida and in Palm Beach where I was earlier this week. Their small, rather quiet town filled with senior citizens was suddenly catapulted into the center of the struggle against the ultra-right, with the whole world watching. They...
