War Will Not End Terrorism
The Bush Administration's bombing of Afghanistan Oct. 7 is not a solution to the terrible events of September 11th. Bush's action is driven more by revenge and retaliation, and is aimed at gaining a geo-political advantage. It is not an effective approach to ending terrorism and bringing those responsible to justice.
Globalization and the Class Struggle Today
More and more, Communists and the left must make the linkage clear and fight for the global integration of struggles to match the global economic integration now dominated by monopoly capital. Some have called it globalizing peace, justice and equality.
CPUSA Memo
The bombing of Afghanistan has upped the ante on the urgency of working to build broad coalitions for peace and against terrorism.
Afghanistan: Some overlooked history
Since the horrific events of Sept. 11, much has been said about the desperate situation of the Afghani people now crushed under the heel of the theocratic, dictatorial Taliban, and about the role of the Northern Alliance and other Taliban opponents who now figure in Washington's plans for the region. Some background helps shed light on the current crisis.
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. Many workers are still paid months in arrears, pensions have been cut or eliminated, and people face starvation in some areas.
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.
Women's Equality Conference March 24, 2001 Opening Report
We want to very briefly review the foundation from which we start by considering the ideas of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the question of women’s equality. We want to take a look at the most current statistical data available on working class and poor women in the United States today. We want to take a brief look at the work of the party the in the area of women....
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...
