Historian Eric Foner called Reconstruction “America’s unfinished revolution.” Just how much of its work remains to be done is obvious in the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais and the move by Republican legislatures across the South to gerrymander their way back to Jim Crow. Meanwhile, the Heritage Foundation is proposing to send women to forced marriage camps, and House Republicans have introduced a bill to strip people of their citizenship for political and religious beliefs.
As we approach the 2026 midterms, what is required to move from resisting the neo-Confederate fascist threat to dismantling it once and for all? Are we in a revolutionary moment? And if so, how do today’s struggles for democracy connect to the project of socialist revolution and the building of a working-class state? This Friday on GMR, join a panel of regulars—Joe Sims, Eric Brooks, and Anita Waters—for a discussion of what it means to carry out a revolutionary 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.
