CPUSA International Department Summary Statement on the Successful International Conference

The International Department and the Peace and Solidarity Commission of the Communist Party USA thanks you for your participation and contribution to internationalism and anti-imperialism. During the course of this international conference, our speakers, fraternal parties, cultural and social media activists have remarked on the changing characteristics of 21st century imperialism. We have identified U.S. imperialism as the fundamental enemy of the working peoples of the world.

It is a fundamental principle of the world that the only constant is constant change. It is our responsibility, as communists in the imperial core, to be quick on our feet; to rise to meet the challenges as they present themselves now; to apply the science of Marxism-Leninism to the fight against imperialism in the 21st century.

There is an old curse that states “May You Live in Interesting Times.”

We are living in a historic turning point: the beginning of the end of U.S. imperialism; The beginning of a new, multilateral world!

In this new world, no nations are contained or isolated. Every nation has a seat at the decision-making table.

In this new world, independent countries are not made victims of unilateral sanctions, nor forced. To implement policies that hurt working people.

In this new world, every country can choose their own development path.

In this new world, every nation has the right to security and development.

We work for the end of labor exploitation, a world without classes or coercion. A world with peaceful and sustainable well-being and common prosperity.

We are in a major struggle for global collaboration to combat common challenges, such as nuclear war, global warming, pandemics, and global poverty.

We are here to help avoid hot wars, economic wars, cold wars, and achieve social and economic justice.

Our Communist Party program recognizes that the U.S. is the main imperialist power in the world and is therefore the main threat to world peace.

The Communist Party and progressive forces in the U.S. have a responsibility, to our own class and to the people of the world, to build the broadest, strongest peace movement opposed to U.S. imperialist aggression in the world.

We say No to global gender inequality! No to racism! No to hegemony!

Our demands include the elimination of NATO and the closing of the hundreds of US military bases spread across the globe.

The biggest contribution the U.S. working class can make to anti-imperialism is to win our struggle against the warmongering extreme right, here at home.

The world communist movement can bring about the future we desire. Communists are the leaders in building socialism. We welcome you to join our ranks!

Imperialism is in decline, but it will not exit history without a push!

We’re counting on you to help push. Our world needs your help.

We need your help to build the international communist movement!

We are a worldwide movement of over 100 million members in 118 political parties and associated labor, women’s, youth, peace, and anti-imperialist forces but more are needed!

We need your help to increase international solidarity!

We need your help to strengthen the peace movement in this country!

We need your help in the anti-imperialist movement!

We thank all of you for attending the Communist Party USA’s first ever International Conference on internationalism and anti-imperialism!

We are very proud of the work put in by many comrades around the world to present analysis and ideas at this conference.

We hope that everyone participating or listening to this international conference has learned what is at stake and is inspired to work on these important issues!

The global collaboration that went into the production of this conferences serves as a deeply inspiring and concrete example of international communist solidarity.

Again, we welcome you to join our movement!

Thank you for your participation!

In the words of union leaders: Forward together, not one step back!

Hasta La Victoria Siempre. VENCEREMOS!
