The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is a political party in the United States that advocates for Marxist-Leninist principles. Founded in 1919, it aims to establish a socialist society through democratic means. The party has historically focused on issues such as workers' rights, civil rights, and social justice. Throughout its history, the CPUSA has faced significant challenges, including government repression during the Red Scare and internal divisions. Despite these obstacles, the party continues to promote its vision of a classless society and engages in various social movements, often collaborating with other progressive organizations and groups like the Democratic Socialists of America.
