It will be a glorious day, comrades. Our dear leader, Obama, will be attending, as will all his millennial minions who anxiously await our communist utopia.
The commies claim Chicago as the “city of our birth”. No surprise Obama is from Chicago, as well as all this radical communist mentors. And somehow, communism now includes protecting people against racism, sexism, and gay and transgender discrimination. It will be a glorious conference, comrades, make sure you attend, or the IRS, DHS, or NSA will come after you.
Announcing the Communist Party Convention, June 2014!
Put people before profits: Help build a movement to transform this country
Announcing the 30th Convention of the Communist Party USA
June 13-15, 2014, Chicago, Illinois
The people of the United States face enormous challenges today.
We live in a capitalist system where the 99% of people struggle every day to survive and the richest 1% control the vast majority of wealth and power. Capitalism cannot meet the needs of the vast majority.
Economic inequality and job insecurity are increasing. Working families are living with less and working longer hours. The infrastructure of our cities and towns is deteriorating. Our schools are underfunded and essential public services are strapped and slashed. Home foreclosures are everywhere and millions of people are homeless and hungry in the richest country in the world. Racism, sexism, homophobia and all kinds of discrimination are commonplace. Working men and women fight and die in wars around the globe for U.S. corporate interests.
We also face an urgent threat to the very survival of life on the planet. Climate change is the byproduct of capitalism. It is working people, the poor and communities of color who face the most direct consequences of global warming and the poisoning of our environment.
The drive of the rich and powerful to gain wealth at the expense of working people is the only logic of capitalism.
But everywhere in our country people unite to fight to improve their lives, to change the world for the better.
The main obstacle to progress today is right-wing extremism. Right wing spokespeople and groups represent and are funded by the most conservative sections of the rich and powerful.
The extreme right, which now dominates the Republican Party, is seeking to roll back all the social and economic rights that working people fought for and won. They want to take the country back to a time before marriage equality, before voting rights, before women’s reproductive rights, before the right to a union. It seems at times that they want to take us back to the days of slavery.
Democracy itself is under attack from this far-right group and their servants in the Washington and statehouses around the country.
It’s increasingly clear to millions of people: another world is possible and necessary. Another U.S. is possible too. Capitalism cannot solve these problems, we need a socialist USA.
Socialism is a system where working people together decide how society is run. Where people and the planet are put before corporate profits. Where democracy is expanded to include economic justice and equity. Socialism is again becoming recognized among the people of the U.S. as the only real alternative to capitalism.
The Communist Party of the United States of America has a 95 year history of fighting for democracy, jobs, equality and socialism.
Our party reflects the diverse working class of our country. Our members are of all the races, ethnicities and nationalities that make up the rich fabric of U.S. society. We are native born and immigrant. We are men and women. We are young and old. We are straight and gay. We are atheists, people of faith and agnostics. We are from every region and state, every walk of life and profession.
Our party has a unique history of struggle against racism, for workers’ rights, against war, for equality and justice. We organize in big cities and small towns, in every kind of workplace and neighborhood, on campuses and in community centers, in town halls and the halls of Congress. We have always joined together with others because unity is the key to victory. We join the fight against the right wing today and build for socialist tomorrow.
We are proud to announce our 30th National Convention, June 13-15, 2014 in Chicago, the city of our birth.
Leading up to our convention, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities that working people face today. We will share experiences and discuss how our party can more effectively help build a people’s movement capable of transforming the country and making the future brighter for everyone.
And we want to share this discussion with our friends and allies, with all those fighting for a just society. Join us!
In unity there is strength. The people united will never be defeated.
Onward to Chicago!

no onion?
Probably have snipers on the rooftops, to pick off any anti-commie protesters.
Card, exactly. Remember the old days, when communism was bad? The McCarthy era? The anti-American trials? The Rosenbergs? They were communist Jews right?
Now communism is hip, slick and cool. Millennial hipsters wear Che shirts and think communism is the answer to all their prayers. The commies offer jobs for everyone, diversity, inclusion, redistribution (getting free shit without having to work for it), equality, the end of racism, and the end of capitalism and the white devil creepy-ass crackers. Would we even be considering our nation turning communist if it wasn’t for the millennials electing Obama twice?
Nowadays, the people that support the constitution, who support God, who believe in liberty are not only evil, they’re terrorists. And terrorists can be eliminated whenever Obama and his minions see fit. It’s game over for this country, might as well join the fucking commies.
AWD, my daughter has a friend, he named his son Che.
Goddamn, he was a tough one to talk to without wanting to bury a fist in his face. Glad he moved to California.
Although there is a great deal of truth in the old adage “The Devil finds work for idle hands!”, the problem faced by the West (and probably by the East / Far East too) is there are now too many “hands” for the available jobs pool. This is what happens when you have such a big Global population, supported by highly-efficient systems (which are efficient because they are machine – operated, not Human-operated).
With the arrival in the US of the “Mechanical Gourmet Burger Flipper” even this entry-level “career” is under threat. Next, we’ll see “Automat” salad bars replacing the likes of Subway (and providing a better, faster and more consistent service, 24/7 for those of us who work “unsocial hours”).
Then what?? If employers demand “Experience” where will the future workforce get this experience? Will unpaid or minimally-paid Internships become the “New Normal” for the vast majority (those without those “Right Connections”!)?
Seems “Constant change is here to stay”, and change is not always for the better.
When I saw the title of this thread, “Mark Your Calenders” I thought it was a reference to that great All-American holiday coming up, just around the corner. Steak & Blowjob Day. March 14th. Mark Your Calenders.

Thank you, AWD. You just validated my sense of history. Seeing so many commenters essentially petting Putin’s big white pud while asking Vlad, “what’s his name?” had me worried that the US is going pinko. It’s all a joke, right?

I understand Argies call each other ‘Che’, since Guevara was an Argie, he was nicknamed ‘Che’.
Is the fact that he named his son Che the reason you wanted to punch him or did he have an asshole personality?
The fact that anyone has to mark March 14th is sad. reminds me of that joke: professor asks, how many have sex twice a week? a few hands go up. Once a week? more hands go up. Once a month? several more reluctantly raise their hands. I’m afraid to ask this, he says, anybody have sex once a year? Oh, me, me, says the last fellow. You only have sex once a year and you’re excited, why? Tonight’s the night, he says.

Asshole.
