Komunistická politická strana

The American Communist Party, officially known as the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), is a political organization in the United States that advocates for a socialist and eventually communist society. Founded in 1919, the party emerged from a split in the Socialist…   Party of America, driven by the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the desire to establish a similar system in the United States. Over the years, the CPUSA has been involved in various labor struggles, civil rights movements, and anti-war protests, reflecting its commitment to social justice, workers' rights, and equality.<br /><br />The core values of the American Communist Party revolve around the principles of Marxism-Leninism, which advocate for the overthrow of capitalism through a proletarian revolution, leading to the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat as a transitional stage towards a classless, stateless society. The party emphasizes the need for collective ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange to eliminate the exploitation of labor by capital and to ensure that the wealth produced by workers is equitably distributed among them.<br /><br />Economically, the CPUSA supports policies that aim to redistribute wealth and power from the capitalist class to the working class, including progressive taxation, nationalization of key industries, and comprehensive social welfare programs to provide for the basic needs of all citizens. Politically, it advocates for a democratic system where the working class has a leading role in governance, arguing that true democracy cannot exist under capitalism, where economic power translates into political power.<br /><br />On social issues, the American Communist Party has historically championed civil rights, gender equality, and the rights of marginalized communities. It opposes all forms of discrimination and imperialism, advocating for a foreign policy based on peace, solidarity with oppressed peoples worldwide, and environmental sustainability.<br /><br />Despite its ambitious goals, the CPUSA has never gained significant political power in the United States, partly due to the strong anti-communist sentiment during the Cold War and the association of communism with authoritarian regimes in other parts of the world. Nevertheless, the party continues to participate in political and social movements, promoting its vision of a socialist future as an alternative to the capitalist system.Čítaj viac
