The Communist Party USA (CPUSA), founded in 1919, advocates for a socialist system based on Marxist-Leninist principles. It seeks to eliminate capitalism and establish a government by the working class, focusing on social, racial, and economic justice. Throughout its history, the party has been involved in labor movements, civil rights, and anti-fascist activities. Despite its diminished influence post-Cold War, CPUSA remains active in promoting socialist policies and workers’ rights.
