The Communist Party of the United States of America is a very old Communist Party that originated in 1919 when it split from the Socialist Party of America following diverging views on the Russian Revolution. While in it's early history it can boast having played a role in opposing racism & segregation and supporting the labor movement in America, these noble actions soon fell out of interest around the 1930s when the party becoming increasingly closer to the Soviet Union culminating in direct funding from Moscow, communication and cooperation with the KGB/NKVD, and outright acts of espionage with the intent to undermine the efforts of the United States to curb the imperialistic influence of the repressive and tyrannical Soviet Union. It's ties to Moscow ended in 1989 with it's opposition to Perestroika and Glasnost.

It is no secret that I am a fervent Anti-Communist and I trust by now many of you on NSG will know that plainly. That being said, as an American I uphold the tenants of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Association as virtues of deep cultural importance to my country and will gladly defend the right's of my fellow Americans to speak their mind and associate freely without fear of persecution by the government. However, a line must be drawn when it comes to outright subversion against the United States by Fifth Column elements at the behest of foreign powers; something that CPUSA has proven to have been involved in. 1989 was only 30 years ago, so I don't believe this is coming too little too late at all. I believe it was criminally negligent that it was not addressed sooner. In a time when Chinese and Russian interference in American internal politics is becoming increasingly more common, it is only fair we address foreign interference in the past that went largely ignored by the government.
As long as it still exists the CPUSA - in my opinion - is a threat to the integrity of the United States as it has already proven it is willing to blindly follow and serve a foreign power for over 50 years by any means including financial aid to our allies, war time efforts, foreign policy, and even the development of more advanced weapons. It is no secret the CPUSA played a vital role in Soviet infiltration of the Manhattan Project allowing for one of the most despotic and oppressive countries in recent history to attain weapons of mass destruction that then enabled it to hold the world hostage as it spread it's sickening influence across the globe, setting up more genocidal, totalitarian dictatorships in the process that proceeded to bring their respective countries to ruin until their Communist Parties were overthrown. Some of which were not so lucky to escape the binds of Marxism, and continue to toil under increasingly Orwellian regimes such as the illegitimate states of North Korea and the so-called "People's Republic" of China; the latter of which is quite literally the only country on Earth that can accurately be compared to the Third Reich.
It is evident, then that the CPUSA (from my point of view) represents a danger to America's political integrity as, unlike any other Communist or Socialist Party in the United States, it has explicitly supported a former enemy of the USA through covert actions in the past and there is nothing to suggest it will not in the future. We're not talking Moscow's indirect support for Mitch McConnell via the NRA, no, we're talking direct funding from Moscow to the CPUSA and actions taken by the CPUSA to undermine the U.S. and aid Soviet ambitions and intelligence. Thus, I propose that the CPUSA be outlawed and forcefully disbanded on the grounds that it cannot be trusted to participate in the governance of any town, city, county, state, or even the entire country at large.
What say ye, NSG?
