Communist Party of the United States of America
Documents and Publications Difficult to Find
The CPUSA was founded as a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist party in 1919. However, for the bulk of its history, since the mid-1930s, it has been a totally revisionist, and anything-but-revolutionary, party. [Further introduction to be added later.]
