Again, your State Control Defense Reflex is fully functioning.
You can't win as a Communist in name in America... that's the point of the OP, they now function through their wholly owned Democrat Party subsidiary. If you check the homepage of the Communist Party USA its identical in substance with the Democrat Party. There's no real reason to have a Communist Party USA anymore since its goals have been subsumed by the Dems, it's there as another head fake
Can we get back the ownership that was given to the UAW? Can we get off the hook for the UAW pensions now?
Simply because you believe the government should be active in the economy does not make you a Marxist nor a communist. If it does, then every single country in the world is Marxist/Communist.
Marxists don't control the Democrat Party. Sorry.
Communists do not sign free trade agreements.
Communists do not extend tax cuts.
Communists do not sell stock back to the public.
Communists do not tell people that "it's a good time to buy stocks."
But conservatives who say that this is what communists do discredit themselves.
1. Congressional Progressive Caucus was founded in 1991 by Bernie Sanders-the openly socialist then Congressman from Vermont, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the radical Washington DC based "think tank" Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).
Many members were and continue to be linked to DSA and/or the Communist Party USA, IPS or other radical organizations.
From small beginnings the CPC has grown to embrace more than 80 members of Congress and three in the Senate - Roland Burris, Bernie Sanders and Tom Udall (NM).

2. In more recent years, the Congressional Progressive Caucus has gone underground in respect to their connection to the Democratic Socialists of America. Their roster is no longer published on the DSA website and they no longer publicly acknowledge their loyalty to the socialist organization. In the DSA document, "Electoral Politics As Tactic — Elections Statement 2000," it states:
"DSA recognizes that some insurgent politicians representing labor, environmentalists, gays and lesbians, and communities of color may choose to run under Democratic auspices... and the 59 Democratic members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, one-half of whom are Black and Latino and all of whom possess strong labor backing and operative social democratic politics."
In the simplest of terms,
Socialists at every level of government are calling for the federal government takeover of the management of American business, health care, education and the American family. They envision much more than mere renewal or reform; they want to create an entirely new society controlled by a massive Socialist government.
Ludwig von Mises wrote: "On the other hand the application of the basic ideas of collectivism cannot result in anything but social disintegration and the perpetuation of armed conflict. It is true that every variety of collectivism promises eternal peace starting with the day of its own decisive victory and the final overthrow and extermination of all other ideologies and their supporters. ... As soon as a faction has succeeded in winning the support of the majority of citizens and thereby attained control of the government machine, it is free to deny to the minority all those democratic rights by means of which it itself has previously carried on its own struggle for supremacy." [The Fallacy of Collectivism]

infiltration of the Democratic Party was primary, and it already contained all of the progressive elementnshttp://marxists.org//reference/archive/bernstein/index.htm Socialism time line.
4. The DSA remains the principle
branch of the Socialist International, whose primary goal is global governance under worldwide socialism.
a. The SI boasts it is
successor to the First International of Karl Marx, 1864. “Ever since its inception in 1951, the Socialist International has made cosmetic efforts to distance itself from communist socialists.”
