Now, the decisive stage of this year’s election is at hand. According to most polls, if there are no unforeseen shocks or surprises, Joe Biden and the Democrats will win, even in the Senate.
In this most critical moment, when, according to many, fascism is becoming a genuine threat, a few points regarding the leftist movement in general and the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) specifically are worth paying attention to.
