Communist Party To Ally With Democrats In 2014



2014 is shaping up to be an interesting election year.

Sam Webb, Chairman of the Communist Party USA, said:
Contrary to what some on the left think, the starting point of transformative politics isn’t political desires and wish list, but a sober and concrete assessment of the balance of class and social forces on the ground, not least of which is the political consciousness of the majority of working-class people and what they are ready to fight for. 
How do we accelerate this transition from a movement with transformative potential to a movement with transformative power and capacity? 
…a movement with transformative hopes must be up to its ears in the struggle for jobs, a higher minimum wage, immigration reform, gun control, infrastructure renewal, abortion rights, protecting the climate, preserving earned-benefit programs, marriage equality, voting rights, saving public education, reversing the sequester, winning a federal budget favoring people’s needs, cutting the military budget, and many more issues at the federal, state and local level. 
It should also be an energetic part of the struggle to give the Republican Party a licking in next year’s congressional elections. Defeating right-wing extremist candidates is the key link in moving the whole chain of struggle forward. It will take an expansive coalition of voters, including independents, centrists and even some moderate Republicans.
Some may ask, what's the difference between the Communist Party and the Democrat Party (as it is now constituted with socialists)?  Not much.

This ought to be a lesson for Tea Party members!
