The John Birch Society may be dead but the American Communist Party and the Democrat Socialist Party of America are very much alive and active in the current democrat administration.
This is the final part of the full main report, “Unity to save people and planet; For full equality, democracy, peace, and green socialism,” to the 31st National Convention of the Communist Party USA held in Chicago, Illinois, June 21-23, 2019. Other installments available here. The abbreviated oral presentation is available here.
John Bachtell served as CPUSA national chair from 2014 to 2019. Rossana Cambron and Joe Sims were elected as the new CPUSA co-chairs.
The 2007 global financial crisis and the Great Recession decimated families and communities, exposing the greed, ugliness, and brutality of the capitalist system. In the economic earthquake and political aftershocks that followed, some responded with cynicism and despair, and many turned to the extreme right.
But millions of others concluded capitalism would never work. They joined the Occupy movement and a search for radical alternatives, including socialism. Millions more have since become convinced capitalism is destroying the planet and that human society must radically reorganize itself to survive. We live in a moment in which millions are open to the ideas of socialism.
