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.
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...
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.

We are writing to express our deep sorrow at the recent terrorist acts perpetrated against US workers and their families. The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Ireland, on behalf of the entire membership of the party, expresses condolences to the families of the deceased and offers sympathy to the injured and their families.

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.

We express our heartfelt condolence to the people of the United States in this...
Some issues are clear: this must not be allowed to become the basis for anti-Arab and anti-immigrant attacks, nor for a call to retreat or give up on the many vital ongoing struggles for peace and justice. That these terrible acts may lead to escalating violence and war is a real danger that concerns many people. And, of course, for everyone, in addition to shock and horror there is the...
