Good Morning Revolution: Whos Afraid of Antifa? Communist Party USA 2025-10-04 | In a dramatic escalation, Trump recently designated an "organization" that doesn't exist, ANTIFA, as a domestic terrorist organization. The MAGA administration then, in an executive order, threatened to disrupt organizations and movements that are not only left-wing but also allegedly anti-Christian, anti-capitalist and anti-family values. In other words, anti-Trump. And that means over half the country. Is this sign of strength or weakness? What's the GOP administration and their backers afraid of?

On the Government Shutdown: The Time to Act is Now. Communist Party USA 2025-10-02 | Here's what we've been thinking about the government shutdown. First, you can't separate it from the meeting yesterday with over 800 generals where Mr. Trump threatened to train troops by deploying them against U.S. cities. Second, if the shutdown is going to be successful, its outcome won't be decided in the suites of D.C. but by mobilizing in the streets all across the country. Got 2 minutes? Take a listen.

Good Morning Revolution: RED SCARE: How to Fight Back & Win Communist Party USA 2025-09-27 | In the eyes of the MAGA right, NY's Zohran Mamdani and Minneapolis' Omah Fateh, both candidates for mayor of their respective cites, are communists. But so were Barack Obama, Kamala Harris and even Joe Biden. The anti-Marxist Big Lie is back! In fact it never left. However, if polls are correct it's having far less impact than ever before. On the other hand, the ruling class right is growing more desperate and therefore more dangerous. This marks the third time anti-communist and anti-socialist crusades have been used to divide the country.

No Retreat, No Surrender Communist Party USA 2025-09-22 | The ongoing mobilization of the peoples movement against the fascist right is key.

Good Morning Revolution: Is Civil War Inevitable? Communist Party USA 2025-09-20 | The aftermath of the Kirk assassination has been filled with vitriol and calls for banning the left, dictatorship and even civil war by the MAGA right. They're blaming the left, trans people, even, incredibly the Democratic Party which has been called a domestic extremist organization by the fanatic Stephen Miller. Some in the progressive and democratic movement have become dismayed and disillusioned by the broadsides from the right and are hunkering down in their bunkers expecting the worst. But the communist movement historically has fought against such pessimistic defeatist positions as it leads to the demobilization of the broad democratic movement. And the ongoing mobilization of the peoples movement against the fascist right is key. It must be understood that MAGA's going nuts is not a sign of strength, but of its inherent weakness. And it can be defeated by bringing the collective strength of our working class and people to bear. The role of the communist left has been to fight with all of its power to prevent war, not to incite it.

Communist Party Co-chair Joe Sims Responds to the Murder of Charlie Kirk Communist Party USA 2025-09-15 | Political violence against individuals, including mass shootings, serve no useful purpose, and we condemn them. Only systemic change will bring about the society we seek. Such change must come through non-violent peaceful mass struggle led by the working class. The Communist Party USA recommits itself to this goal. We shall not be moved.
Good Morning Revolution: The Working Class & The World Ideological Crisis Communist Party USA 2025-09-13 | The working-class movement, both in the U.S. and abroad, is in the midst of a deep ideological crisis. Its outcome will determine the future of civilization, or whether civilization itself will survive.Over a century ago, Lenin observed that imperialism is "reaction all down the line." Indeed, reaction — class oppression, racism, sexism, and the rise of neo-fascist movements — has reached new heights. In this situation, liberal, petty bourgeois radical, and fake populist MAGA ideology (to say nothing of right wing ideology) have led at best to confusion and at worst capitulation to the Trump Project 2025 agenda. Let's be honest: MAGA has achieved footholds in important sections of the working class. Think about it: 1.3 million workers have had their union rights broken and there's barely a response from the trade unions, while Democratic politicians in their majority throw up their hands in despair.It's the best of times and the worst of times in the working class movement. Anti-communism has declined, and new generations of trade union leaders are fighting back, leading strikes and organizing drives fighting to protect their family's future. At the same time, unionization rates have reached new lows. But left to itself, the working class movement will only produce trade union consciousness, and that's not enough to take on the most powerful ruling class in history, now dominated by neo-confederates and fascists.In this situation, the Marxist left and Communists in particular struggle to gain ground and provide leadership, but clearly it's a hard row to hoe. Indeed, instead of conscious, militant working-class leadership, spontaneity abounds. The question echoes across the decades: What is to be done?Join us for the discussion of these questions and more.Chapters:00:00 Introductions02:25 Subscribe and Share the Show03:38 Defining the Ideological Crisis05:10 Bourgeois Ideology from Capitalists and Revisionists 09:31 American vs European Working Class Consciousness 12:40 The History that Led to the U.S. Working Class False Consciousness16:53 Lenin on Economism32:21 Opportunism in Labor Movement38:23 What is the Labor Aristocracy?42:55 The Communist Party's Responsibility to Organize the Working Class 47:39 Is the Communist Party illegal in the USA?52:41 The Charlie Kirk ShootingDon't forget to like ✅ and subscribe 🔔 👇Youtube.com/cpusaTwitch.com/communistsusaFacebook.com/cpusaInstagram.com/communistsusacommunistsusa.bsky.social X.com/communistsusa
Good Morning Revolution: A New Anti-Imperialist Alliance? Communist Party USA 2025-09-06 | In response to U.S. imperialism's MAGA inspired international bullying, Asian and European leaders gathered in China recently marking the celebration of the end of World War 2 and a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Over 20 countries were present including India, the DPRK, Turkey, Egypt, Russia, Malaysia and Pakistan. Gaza, the Ukraine war, the doubling of tariffs against India, the bombing of Iran, and other provocative actions lurked clearly in the gathering's background. While the centers of revolutionary initiative have clearly shifted away from Europe over the last several decades and toward the South and East, are new centers of anti-imperialism emerging? Can rivalries between emerging socialist and capitalist countries, who export capital be termed anti-imperialist? If so, where and in what circumstances?

Indeed, D.C., Chicago and the threats against Chicago's Mayor Johnson are just the beginning. In fact, the troop deployment represents a new stage in an overall attack on democracy in the country as a whole, including the Social Safety net.

Good Morning Revolution: Liberals Abandoned Rural Workers. Marxists Cannot.

Yes, the industrial and the farm crises have rocked the U.S. working class and the Democrats capitulated to the GOP's neoliberal policies time after time. Workers of all hues are paying the price. The Marxist left — and communists in the first place — must take up their fight and put it at the top of the agenda. The revolution will be won or lost in small town and rural America.

The White House has threatened to send the military to other cities using the same pretext. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has been ordered to create a rapid response "Reaction Force" in case of civil unrest. Where will they go next?

Good Morning Revolution: Eyewitness: Assault on the Gaza Aid Flotilla Communist Party USA 2025-08-09 | Join us for an eyewitness conversation with our comrade, Braedon, who was aboard the Handala — the most recent ship organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition — which was attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. He and other flotilla members were attacked, arrested, and deported by the Israeli military.The crisis in Gaza is on a new level as the right-wing Zionist Netanyahu government, amid a continued flow of U.S. weapons to Israel, has added death by starvation to the genocidal arsenal it is using against the Palestinian people. Within one month, the entire population of Gaza is projected to enter phase three hunger, and half a million to enter the fifth and final stage. At least 188 people have already been starved to death, including 94 children. Meanwhile, the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S. contractor, delivers food under a hail of bullets, even as 26 countries — including France, Canada, and the UK — have issued statements of condemnation, calling for an end to the war. A growing number of countries are now implementing sanctions against Israel.What will it take to force the hands of Trump and Netanyahu, end the genocide, and realize the Palestinian people’s right to form their own independent state? What lessons can be gleaned from the struggle to end apartheid in South Africa?

Good Morning Revolution: How to Wage a General Strike and Win Communist Party USA 2025-07-26 | UAW President Shawn Fain was the latest to popularize the idea of a general strike when calling for unions to coordinate contract negotiations for May Day of 2028. But at the rate things are going with Trump and MAGA it's not even clear we'll have unions to negotiate with — they're coming at the labor movement hard and fast. And while labor is beginning to step up its fight against Trump, we're still far away from where the movement as a whole is being actively involved in combating big business' far right offensive.In this situation some within Resistance 2.0 are calling for a general strike. But is that a realistic option in the current situation? In addition what would be the demands? And if unions are not calling for such actions themselves, where does that leave the anti-MAGA movement?Don't forget to like ✅ and subscribe 🔔 👇youtube.com/cpusa Twitch.com/communistsusaFacebook.com/cpusaInstagram.com/communistsusacommunistsusa.bsky.social X.com/communistsusa

Good Morning Revolution: Conspiracies & Cover-Ups: A Marxist View Communist Party USA 2025-07-19 | Convoluted and laughably implausible conspiracy theories, such as QAnon and Pizzagate, have long been part of Donald Trump’s playbook, and his administration’s notorious disregard for facts has resulted in wildly misinformed policy and discourse. His recent refusal to reveal the Jeffery Epstein client list, however, has infuriated many of his most loyal supporters and sent his MAGA influencers scrambling for cover. What dynamics are behind the widespread beliefs in conspiracy theories? Why do they fall for it? Is there truth to be found at the bottom of rabbit holes? And, most importantly, how do these ideas affect the political struggle for democracy and justice? Tune in to find out!

Good Morning Revolution: Time for a Democratic Uprising Against Trumps Class War Bill Communist Party USA 2025-07-03 | The "Big Bad Beautiful" bill is Project 2025 made into law. It is a massive transfer of wealth to the billionaire class and cuts Medicaid, veteran's benefits and many other social programs. Its draconian measures limit democracy and discriminate against people of color, women and the LGBTQ community. Combined with the Supreme Court's recent ruling making it extremely difficult for lower courts to limit presidential action, it represents another step down the road to fascism. To defeat it, the working class and people must use every tool in the toolbox: boycotts, militant non-violent civil disobedience, strikes and voting.

Good Morning Revolution: Can Socialism Win at the Ballot Box? Communist Party USA 2025-06-28 | This week, the very foundations of New York's City Hall shook as Zohran Mamdani, a self-professed Democratic Socialist and immigrant son of Queens, beat disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo in the primary for mayor. Cuomo, armed with nearly $26 million in Super PAC money, seemed a sure thing for the establishment, but the voters' rebuke on election night was so powerful that Cuomo conceded before all of the votes were counted.But the general enthusiasm is tempered by experience: India Walton's campaign in Buffalo, and the recent New Jersey primaries for example. MAGA is coming hard for progressive mayors of color.Can the Mamdani campaign pull together a coalition that can beat back MAGA, big money, and establishment interests in November? Did we learn the lessons necessary to ensure that socialism can win at the ballot box this fall?

Good Morning, Revolution! The Decline & Fall of Western Marxism Communist Party USA 2025-05-24 | Since World War 2, there have been only two social revolutions in the West: Cuba in 1959 and Portugal's Carnation Revolution in 1974. Asia has fared better with China, Vietnam, and Laos' attempts to lay the material basis for socialist transition. Attempts in Africa and Latin America were either overthrown, as in Ghana and Chile, rejected, or faultily conceived. Why is it that in Europe and the U.S., the countries of developed capitalism, once powerful Communist, Workers, and Socialist parties seemed to lose momentum, stall out, and in the worst cases, collapse?

But those concepts have been contested in a furious battle of ideas with many victories won. Recognizing this, Trump & Co. are not only attempting to "deconstruct the administrative state" to make it more billionaire-friendly, but are also seeking a reevaluation of all values - a cultural revolution - to impose a racist and sexist hierarchy. They're going after museums, libraries, and institutions of higher learning with guidelines about what's acceptably American.
