Communist Party USA Readings

Below is a list of important texts written by Communist Party USA members and leaders, which are hosted by the excellent Marxism-Leninism Today website. Studying these readings deepens one's ideological understanding of the CPUSA and the struggle for a socialist USA. A deep understanding of scientific socialist ideology (Marxism-Leninism) is also the best defense against revisionism and other ideological errors. "Our confidence is firmly grounded in the world-liberating science of Marxism-Leninism." (Gus Hall, Peace Can Be Won!, 1951)

On the Question of Revisionism, by William Z. Foster

The New Political Reality: Analysis and Perspective, by Gus Hall
