The Communists Party of the USA (CPUSA) was founded on September 1, 1919 in Chicago Illinois. This party was created by Charles Emil Ruthenberg because of the spilt of social parties in America. Directly after the party was made the US government tried to demolish it through the Palmer Raids. The Palmer Raids were attempts by the government to arrest and deport the people of this party. This attempt did indeed fail.
Unemployment insurance, the right to organize, and social security are a few things this party made a major impact on during the Great Depression in the 1930's. CPSUSA was a main part in the creation of the social security system. They believe in democracy, peace, justice, equality, cooperation, and meeting human needs. This party is all about socialism, and equality among society. They believe in helping each other to succeed, and using all of the nation's success to benefit not only the rich but all the classes in society.
The Communist party of America is still together today. Due to technological advancements this party has been able to grow bigger and stronger. From online polls to discussions and much more CPUSA is making a big impact on the United States of America more and more every day. The Communist Party of the USA is one of the biggest, most involved, parties left in America today.
When I first saw the name 'Communist Party of America' I figured it was more of controlling close minded type of organization, but it turns out it is kind of the opposite of that. This club is all about equality. They do not believe in certain ways of life (Republican/Democrat); they believe everyone should agree and accept each other for who they are.
