William Z. Foster also spat in Khruschev’s face on his death bed.

Khruschev never attended his funeral in Moscow after that.

    Its a shame he didn’t slash his throat. Khruschev was a revisionist scumbag.

    I am sure Foster tried his best however the errors made by Browder during those critical years and the counterstrike performed by the bourgeoisie and their fascist servants (such as McCarthy) required nothing short of Lenin to turn around. I am not intimate with Foster’s efforts, however most would fail in that position.

    The work of the Panthers which followed the Browder era even fell short. And we know the the dumpster fire that was the 1970s, 80, and 90s due to the Sino-Soviet Split, as well as the New Left, and it’s effects on the nation’s politics.

      Foster didn’t fail and Browder’s calumny was turned around.

      The Panthers’ efforts didn’t fall short.

            No, the CPUSA have had their chance. It’s time for new blood to try.

                Yes but it doesn’t lead the party, it follows the old, incompetent, traitors.

          This has nothing to do with success or failure.

            I didn’t hear any criticisms from you, this implies success…so where is it?

              The New Deal, many social safety nets, and intervention in World War II on the side of the Soviet Union.

                Yeah they did a great job securing capitalism with social reforms, I’ll give them that. (Checks) yep, these chains are pretty tight. Good on them.

                EDIT: Actually, that is giving them too much credit. The chains are now loose, they couldn’t even do that right.

                  They did not. It developed the struggle to a new level.

    Give this a read as well (biography about Claudia Jones)

    Claudia Jones also anticipated the idea of “intersectionality.”

    She is likely an influence of Angela Davis.

      Turns out there’s an audiobook, so I’ll give this a listen.
