Speaking of the CPUSA, does anyone besides me read the People's
Weekly World? For the last month or two, the paper's been little more
than a propaganda sheet for the Democrats - though not phrased that
bluntly, since it's always "unite and defeat the right!" or "labor's
voice strong at Dem convention." Sure, they have the occasional
column denouncing the evils of capitalism, but it's surrounded with
endorsements for a ruling class party. What a weird political
formation.
