Party of Communists USA

The Party of Communists USA (PCUSA) is an American communist party founded in 2014. The party is an anti-revisionist split from the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).
History
The PCUSA originated as the National Council of Communists, USA (NCCUSA), which was a pressure group inside the CPUSA founded in 2011. They lobbied for the CPUSA for a return to a Marxist-Leninist line. However, after the 30th Convention in 2014 the NCCUSA lost faith in the CPUSA course, which it described as "an anti-Leninist, social democratic accommodation to the bourgeois Democratic Party". The party organized its first congress in April 2016, which received greetings from the communist parties from among other Greece, Mexico, and Turkey.
In 2015 League of Young Communists USA member Peter Korman ran for mayor of Lebanon, winning 1%. In 2020 PCUSA member Christopher Helali is a candidate for the House of Representatives for the Vermont's at-large congressional district. It is the first time that a communist is on the ballot for a congressional election since 1984. He is also endorsed by the Libery Union Party.
Ideology
The PCUSA is an anti-revisionist communist party. The party extols the achievements of the Soviet Union during the reign of Joseph Stalin. The party rejects concepts such as 21st Century Socialism, Eurocommunism and market socialism as reformism.
Organization
The highest authority of the PCUSA is the national congress, which elects a politburo and a central committee. The publication of the central committee is the party newspaper The Worker and its theoretical journal The Communist.
Geographically the party is organized in four districts (East, Midwest, South and West) which are further divided into clubs. Affiliated organizations of the PCUSA are the League of Young Communists USA (LYCUSA) and the US Friends of the Soviet People.
