Book Club Commune

In what will probably be the last time I read something by Haywood for a while, we dive into an argument that still plagues the left to this very day: is *(insert socialist country here)* imperialist and needs to be fought against?

Haywood wraps up the book with an analysis of the future of the Black liberation struggle, in words that are both optimistic and depressingly applicable to today's struggles

Haywood sees the culmination of Browderism in the party, resulting in further degradation and disintegrated of the Communist Party USA.

In this episode, the party is further liquidated as the Red Scare, HUAC, and general anti-communist bullshit take effect in America

Browder has been exposed, but will the influence of Browderism be expunged from the party? can the CPUSA correct itself? No! but let's read about it anyways! it's Chapter 20 of Black Bolshevik!

In this episode, World War 2 breaks out in earnest, Haywood is targeted by CPUSA leaders in a slander campaign, and Haywood becomes a sailor.

In this chapter, Haywood heads off to Spain to help in the fight against the rising fascist tide but comes into trouble with the International Brigade political struggles.
