Socialism is a common-sense path to a fairer, more prosperous and more democratic USA. WE MAKE IT … Right now, 99% of Americans share the work of producing all of the products and services of our economy. We work together in person or online. We work in factories and offices.

While I believe that the CPUSA’s ideological positions are pretty solid, I’m kinda confused by the concept of “bill of rights socialism”, which advocates for the US bill of rights to be maintained under socialism, and adjusted in order to align it with socialist concepts. While I can see the concept here, it does confuse me why the CPUSA would, as a Marxist Leninist organization, advocate for a bourgeois-democratic constitution to be upheld under socialism. Am i misunderstanding this?

    My understanding:

    It's intended to be a part of the "road" to socialism as we build a popular front, not the end goal. We are under no illusion that the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie can simply be reformed out of existence. This is touched on in section VII of the party program: https://cpusa.org/party_info/party-program/#VII
