| ARTICLES RELATED TO Wobbly | | | |  Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Communist Party USA - The Onset of the Cold WarEarl Browder expected the wartime coalition between the Soviet Union and the west to bring about a prolonged period of social harmony after the war. In order to better integrate the communist movement into American life the party was officially dissolved in 1944 and replaced by a Communist Political Association.
That harmony proved elusive, however, and the international communist movement swung to the left after the war ended. Browder found himself isolated when a critical letter from the leader of the French Communist Party received ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Communist Party USA - The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and World War II The CPUSA was adamantly opposed to fascism during the Popular Front period. Although membership in the CPUSA rose to about 75,000 [4] by 1938, many members left the party after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact Nonaggression Pact of 1939. Signing of a pact with Hitler meant that the CPUSA turned its focus from anti-fascism to advocacy of peace. The CPUSA even went so far as to accuse Winston Churchill and Roosevelt of provoking aggression against Hitler a ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Communist Party USA - Fall of Communism The era of glasnost and perestroika and the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union led to a crisis in the party. In the late 1980s the party became estranged from the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev and criticized his policy of perestroika, leading to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union cutting off its support of the CPUSA in 1989.
The CPUSA's 1991 convention was consumed by a debate on the future orientation of the party following the collapse of the Eastern bloc. A moderate minority urged the Gus Hall leadership to reject Leninis ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Anarchism and the arts - Surrealism "An anarchist world... a surrealist world: They are the same." —Andre Breton.
Anarchism has traditionally emphasized the liberation of the imagination and subjectivity from the constraints of the present social order, so it no surprise that many anarchists are attracted to the work of the surrealists.
Surrealism is both an artistic and political movement aimed at the liberation of the human being from the constraints of capitalism, the state, and the cultural forces that limit the reign of the imagination. The movement develo ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Communist Party USA - Early factional struggles 1923-1929 Now that the aboveground element, or "open party" as it was known, was legal the communists decided that their central task was to develop roots within the working class. This move away from hopes of revolution in the near future to a more nuanced approach was accelerated by the decisions of the Fifth World Congress of the Comintern held in 1925, which decided that the period between 1917 and 1924 had been one of revolutionary upsurge, but that the new period was marked by the stabilization of capitalism and that revolutionary attempts in the near future were to be spurned. The American c ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Carpetbagger - Contemporary use
Carpetbagger - In the United States.
Current use is infrequent, and tends to be confined to American politics. When used, the term "carpetbagger" is used to describe "an outsider who moves someplace to exploit the natives and enrich himself at their expense," or "politicians who move to a new jurisdiction solely to meet a residency requirement for holding public office."
In 2000, Republican political commentator Alan Keyes referred to Democrat Hillary Clinton as a "carpetbagger" when she moved to New York ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Communist Party USA - The Third Period 1928-1935 The upheavals within the CPUSA in 1928 were an echo of a much more significant change: Stalin's decision to break off any form of collaboration with western socialist parties, which were now condemned as "social fascists", had particularly severe consequences in Germany, where the German Communist Party not only refused to work in alliance with the German Socialist Party, but attacked it and its members. In 1928 there were about twenty-four thous ...

| | | | | Wobbly: Encyclopedia II - Communist Party USA - The Popular Front 1935-1939 The ideological rigidity of the third period began to crack, however, with two events: the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933. Roosevelt's election and the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933 sparked a tremendous upsurge in union organizing in 1933 and 1934. While the party line still favored creation of autonomous revolutionary unions, party activists chose to fold up those organizations and foll ...
