More and more, the Trump White House looks like a protection racket, using military and fiscal power to punish individuals, institutions, cities, states, and nations that refuse to adopt its reactionary priorities. But this goes beyond the thuggish tendencies of Trump and his immediate circle. What does the administration’s “gangster capitalism” reveal about the power of the ruling class — and what conclusions should we draw about the path forward in the struggle for democracy?

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
