Communist Party USA

The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is a communist party in the United States. The party was aligned with the Soviet Union for most of its history and was heavily attacked during the Cold War and the Red Scare.

In 2013 the party was engaged in dialogue regarding Left Unity with other Marxist organizations in the United States, the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, Democratic Socialists of America, and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization regarding possibilities for cooperation and even collaboration or affiliation. The club in Houston does not approve and has launched an autonomous website.

Criticism
The CPUSA has been criticized for its positions supporting the more popular moderate-leftist Democratic party and Barack Obama.
