Surprise: American Communist Party Was Tool of USSR
[PJ] Not exactly a stop-press item for the rest of the world, but the New York Times -- as part of its 100th anniversary celebration of its beloved Russian Revolution -- has finally admitted what we already knew.

The Communist International, or Comintern, which was set up under Lenin in 1919 and then disbanded by Stalin in 1943 as a gesture of unity to his World War II allies, regularly sent delegates to oversee the C.P.U.S.A. and transmitted orders from Moscow dictating who should lead the American party and what policies it should pursue.

The dissolution of the Comintern did not end Soviet control over the C.P.U.S.A. Supervision was simply transferred to the newly formed international department of the Soviet Union’s own Communist party.
