The Third Congress of the Party of Communists USA (PCUSA) will be held from April 5th to April 7th 2024.
The Congress will mark the ten year anniversary of the Party of Communists USA. The PCUSA emerged from the National Council of Communists (NCCUSA), a pre-party formation, on May Day 2014.
The PCUSA was founded by several members of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) who had been dropped from membership for still supporting the ideals of the Soviet Union. Marxist Leninist ideology was unfortunately abandoned by the the new leadership of the CPUSA after the success of the counter revolution in the USSR in 1991.
The PCUSA has made enormous strides in the ten years since its founding. Originally a formation concentrated within the New York area, the PCUSA now spans the entire United States, with the John Reed Center as its Pacific office and the William Z. Foster Center as its Eastern office. The PCUSA organized the People’s School for Marxist-Leninist Studies (PSMLS) which provides weekly Marxist-Leninist education to an international audience.
The Party, through its international Communist connections, has taken a leadership role within the World Anti Imperialist Platform (WAP). Over the last 10 years the PCUSA has been recognized by leading Communist Parties as the legitimate Communist Party in America.
