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. It is a clear and imminent danger to our constitutional and democratic rights....
Report on the 7th Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation
The Russian working class and people are struggling through a disastrous many-sided crisis brought on by the imposition of capitalism. About 70 percent of the population live at or below the poverty line. There are high rates of unemployment and underemployment.

Political Landscape 2001, Opening to the Natl Board
A right wing administration is moving into the White House. An economic crisis is in its early stages. And, finally, the presidential election was literally stolen right before the eyes of the American people - something that shocked even some of us gathered in this room.

Report from the Structure and Organization Committee
Most comrades have responded really well to changes and have been responsive to the idea that we need to take a fresh look at how we do things. So our committee was not starting from scratch. Our work is part of an ongoing discussion that has been in motion with the transition for over a year now. The process should and will continue even after the National Convention.
New Setting of the Class Struggle and Industrial Concentration
We are dealing with the largest working class in our history. Not counting farm labor, figures that I was not able to come up with, there are roughly 130 million workers in the U.S. economy today. If you add in the unemployed, who are very much part of the working class, then the figure is probably closer to 135 million. For comparison, in 1948 there were a little more than...
We will fight for jobs, equality & peace
MILWAUKEE, Wisc. - Delegates to the Communist Party USA's 27th Convention here July 6-8 called for a stepped-up campaign for jobs, equality and peace and a fightback against the ultra-right agenda. The crowd, packed into a ballroom at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, greeted the speakers with standing ovations, cheers and applause. The mood among the 520 delegates and guests seemed as fresh as the breeze that blew in from sparkling...
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.

German Communist Party (DKP)
We condemn these attacks as they are counterproductive in the development of the needed solutions for those political and social problems facing us all. At the same time such attacks are a result of the politics of the United States Government which has in the past supported terrorist activity in many parts of the world, such as in the Near East or in the Balkan region.
