Communist Party USA Opposes McCain Election

Real all about it!

None of the people’s struggles - from peace to universal health care … will advance if McCain wins in November.

An editorial on the Communist Party USA website does not officially endorse Barack Obama but, concludes saying, “One thing is clear. None of the people’s struggles - from peace to universal health care to an economy that puts Main Street before Wall Street - will advance if McCain wins in November.”

The editorial dredges up shop worn platitudes from pre-World War II and the 1950-60s including, “A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and unity” campaign because they see in it the thrilling opportunity to end 30 years of ultra-right rule and move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda.”

“Progressive” is a key word for the Communist Party USA that used it to try to disguise itself in 1948 when it ran former FDR Vice President Henry A. Wallace against Harry Truman.
