If there a Communist political party in the United States?

Does America have a true left wing party?

Look, I am not from the United States. I am sixteen and for homework our class has to make a report of a foreign county's political system.

I come from a Westminister system of government, orat least a system kind of like a westminister system. So already the United States system with the separation of powers between the Executive and the Legislative already seem very strange to me.

I've read some of the Democrat's policy and to me they look more right wing than left wing..... Compared to what I'm used to anyway. This is the first time I've ever really looked at U.S politics before.

But the Democrats make our right wing political party look left wing. I mean the democracts seem kind of conservative. No offense to conservatives.

But my country has more governement involvement. Here it is compulsory for ALL adult citizens to vote and the government itself owns quite a few enterprises. We are a democratic country though.

Although we do have a communist political party, it's very small though. They don't win seats in parliament although they do exist.

What I was wondering is if the United States have any radical left minor parties?

Is being a member if a communist party even legal in the United States?

    It's not illegal to belong to the Communist Party and yes we have one. I've given you a link to all of the parties here in the U.S.

    The Communist Party has endorsed the Democratic candidate two times in a row now. That candidate is Obama, of course.

    Yes America's Communist Party is still around and has evolved in ways that Lenin, Mao, Stalin, and Marx never envisioned. America's Communists had to find other ways into Politics here after the McCarthy Era back in the 50's.

    So, they embedded themselves into the Democrat Party of the USA. This has brought us many thoughts and ideas that have helped in the Short Term, but have proven disastrous in the Long Term. That's why the 'Nanny State' is so popular with Democrats. Because people do not have to do anything in order to be totally reliant on the Government. Democrats champion lazy stupid people. Because if intelligence was beneficial, then the Democrats (i.e.: Communists) would be out of a job.

    No, the Jews in Hollywood and McCarthyism destroyed the Communist party in the USA. McCarthy tried to push anti Russian cold war stupidity onto Australia during the Vietnam war, but Harold Holt and Australia said, No. That's why the CIA killed him and Gough Whitlam got in, and how Pine Gap got built in Australia, as part of a corrupt deal.

    When it was found out Sir John Kerr the govern general sacked the Whitlam government, and put in the Fraser government. Also that Jew spy Jonathan Pollard, got busted giving away US, Australian, Russian and British secret intelligences to the Israel government.

    You should read the book or watch the movie Falcon and the Snowman, it's a true story tells a lot about the corruption, with trying to remove the communist party.

    The USA has multiple parties that are communist in name. However, none of them are truly communist as they shun militant class struggle and immerse themselves in filthy parliamentary politics to support capitalist candidates. They are opposed to the ongoing militant communist struggles in different parts of the world as well. So it is not illegal to be their member either. However, the worsening conditions in the USA is making it more and more favourable for militant communists to organize in, and build a true revolutionary communist party.

    Yes, the US has a communist party, and yes, it's legal to belong to it.

    The Dems are actually a mixed group. There are progressives in it, as well as members of the right (who are more like Republicans in their views). There is also a Green party, as well as a bunch of other small parties.

    We don't have a parliamentary system; our system kind of forces us to have two main parties -- though about a third of voters are "independent" -- they don't belong to any political party.

    Yes, compared to civilized countries, the spectrum of the vast majority of citizens goes from "off the charts right wing extremist" to "right of center."

    Yes, there is a communist party, but there aren't enough members for it to have much political influence. There's a lot of stigma against the idea of communism in my country, which would make it very difficult for communists to gain any power.

    P.S.

    Don't listen to TOMCAT or newyawker; they're completely wrong. Democrats aren't communists. Communists will probably vote Democrat, but then again, neo-Nazis will probably vote Republican, but that doesn't mean that all Republicans are racist fascists, now does it?

    It is illegal to be a member of the Communist Party but the law doesn't get enforced. I wish they would enforce it! :)

    Source(s): And for all you saying it's not illegal to be in the communist party, I think you should check out the US criminal code. (68 Stat. 775, 50 U.S.C. 841-844)
