“Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement… The role of vanguard fighter can be fulfilled only by a party that is guided by the most advanced theory.” — V.I. Lenin
The American Communist Movement is alive now more than ever and we have a rich history of theoreticians and organizers to thank for it. From the earliest formations such as Social Democracy of America and the Socialist Labor Party, to the rise and revisionism of the Communist Party USA, and the modern movement with groups such as the Party of Communists USA, we seek to immortalize our history.
The American Archive of Marxism Leninism is a massive project to preserve Socialism, Communist, and Working Class literature. This task is carried out by The Party of Communists USA, which maintains a physical archive of thousands of documents at the John Reed Center in Seattle.
This archive could not be possible without the work of countless comrades throughout the ages, especially those who have created archives of their own. Our goal is to not simply archive the rare physical material we have at our own offices but to collect as much of the material that is spread across the internet into one convenient location.
