Most are today hiding with in the Democrat Party and hide behind the label of progressive or liberal.
Democrats and Socialism:
>" In April 2010, the official website of the Social Democrats USA (SDUSA) revealed that organization's ties to the Democratic Party. Describing itself as a "Party Within a Party," SDUSA stated the following:
"The Social Democrats, USA kept the name Socialist Party for our political arm because we are the party of Eugene Debs, Mother Jones, Helen Keller, Carl Sandburg, Norman Thomas, A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, and thousands of people who worked to build the civil rights and trade union movements in this country. Many good folks gave their lives in these movements.
"The Socialist Party, USA, in 1956, chose to stop running candidates of its own, except on rare occasion. During the 1960's, we began to work in the Democratic Party. This is where our allies in the civil rights and trade union movement worked and continue to work politically. We are proud of what we helped accomplish within the Democratic Party, particularly the civil rights legislation and anti-poverty programs of the the 1960's. The struggle continues....
"Our movement has been involved in the left wing of the Democratic Party since 1947. Socialist Party members helped found Americans for Democratic Action. ADA is this country's premiere "anti-Communist, liberal" organization. We are proud of our long relationships with Eleanor Roosevelt, Hubert Humphrey, and others. We look forward to forging a good working relationship with our fellow pro-labor, anti-totalitarian, left Democrats."
Late in 2010, Communist Party USA member C.J. Atkins called for his comrades to drop their "communist" label, so that they could work more effectively inside the Democratic Party. Soon thereafter, Joe Sims, co-editor of the CPUSA publication Peoples World, acknowledged not only that collaboration with the the Democrats "will be an area of engagement for those wanting to make a difference," but also that communists might someday be able to "capture" the Democratic Party entirely. Sims warned, however, against dissolving the CPUSA entirely into the Democratic Party. Rather, he advised his organization to remain a separate entity, working both inside and outside the Democratic Party as circumstances required..."<

Oh my god......
When were you born 1930?
the CPUSA is irrelevant to American politics.... as are communists in general.
I don't agree, the olympics is a money pit for corporations. THe athletes are their ponds and used to make money. Look at college football.....
But the Olympics still provides an arena for Athletes to show off and impress the crowd. That's the only reason it exists, mass entertainment. There was no corporate sponsors in Ancient Greece nor at its revival in the late 19th centaury. Corporate sponsors is a recent phenomenon. It was not the original intent to make money.
Human tendency are dictate by their culture, competition isn't inherited. Competition is for reptiles who are cold blooded. Mammals have playful attributes....
Neoteny is when organisms retain some of their child-like qualities. Which is important for evolution, meaning that those who are aggressive and competitive show characteristics of reverse evolution.
And there's what, a couple hundred of the dastardly evil-doers? Be always vigilant, they hide everywhere.
Oh my god......
When were you born 1930?
Why don't you stop preaching that anti-commi rhetoric. The government is still controlling, there was never a threat. Jesus christ a right-wnger with dementia.
Founded in 1919, the Communist Party has helped win important changes in our country. Communists helped organize the great industrial unions including steel, meatpacking and auto. Communists were pioneers in the 1930s in the fight for Social Security, unemployment compensation, the 8-hour day and the 40-hour week. They took a lead in the fight against lynching and to save the Scottsboro Nine. Communists were among those who developed militant direct action tactics - such as the sit-down strikes that helped win unionization of the auto industry. At the height of the Great Depression communist neighborhood clubs organized mass unemployed councils that put back the furniture of evicted neighbors. In rural areas, communists organized to block bank auction of foreclosed farms.
Fighting Jim Crow, communists helped lay the groundwork for the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. During the Spanish Civil War and in World War II, Communists volunteered to fight fascism. Many died in battle. In the Korean War and early days of the war in Vietnam, Communists were among the few who openly opposed the war. Their pioneering work helped build a huge peace movement.
In the labor movement of the 1970s , 80s and 90s communist workers along with other progressive rank and filers helped build caucuses to fight for more democracy, diversity and affirmative action and against "business unionism."
In the 1970's Communists led the movement to free Angela Davis continuing the party's commitment to defend victims of political repression. We worked for peace and nuclear disarmament. Communists always focus on opposing the U.S. government's role in supporting dictatorial regimes abroad, from apartheid in South Africa to the fascist dictator Pinochet in Chile.
Communists believe that social change can only be accomplished through the united action of mass movements which express the majority will of the people. Peaceful methods of change are not only the right thing to do, they are the most effective way to unite and mobilize the greatest majorities.
Violence, on the other hand, is a tool of the big corporations and the governments they control. To preserve their power, they use violence against workers' and people's movements.
In contrast, Communists seek to change society peacefully. We work to expand every democratic and electoral avenue as part of our fight for working class political and economic power.
Our party believes that it is possible to make fundamental transformations using the electoral process, the Constitution and especially the Bill of Rights.
We believe that the broad participation of working people in every area of life is the gateway to a more just and humane future. Socialism offers the best environment for democracy to fully flourish because it sharply limits the power of corporations to dominate politics and the economy. Socialism's democratic potential can only be realized, however, if broad sections of the people are wholeheartedly engaged in every aspect of society's decision-making processes.
Under capitalism, the Communist Party USA fights to expand the limited democratic rights we now have. For example, we fight for the Employee Free Choice Act and the right of workers to join unions.
We are proud of our record against undemocratic laws that upheld racism, sexism, or other forms of discrimination. By standing up to the McCarthy witch hunts, Communists defended democracy. We call for abolition of torture, total reform of the prison system, and an end to the death penalty.
Communists see the struggle for democracy as empowering people, just as we see people empowering democracy.
The working class and working people as a whole are the overwhelming majority of society. The working class creates everything that the world's people need to survive and thrive - from food, housing, health care, energy, education to transportation, music and art. Because working people make the country go, they are also uniquely positioed to change the society. Workers, when united and working together with other oppressed people, have the power to change the world.
The Road to Socialism USA, the program of the Communist Party, is aimed guiding the struggle to eventually win political, economic and social power for working people so they can make sure that everyone fairly and equally enjoys the fruits of their labor
So is that why survival of the fittest is such an unimportant thing that doesn't happen then. Competition is natural for Mammals and reptiles alike. It is a natural thing. Humans are no exception.
Nope competition tries to eliminate the problem by defeating an opponent. Has nothing to do with human progress.
However do children always have to be in first place? Does everyone have to be a winner if they do a race as a child? They do since all the children want to be first due to their natural competitive streak.
I was born in '57 and have seen many a nay-sayer (or agent of deception) like yourself
You're not a surprise.

Survival of the fittest. It dictates which species survive and which don't. We still have that primal gene within us, therefore we are still going to be competitive, for example if you had the opportunity to get a prize of $100,000 a year and all you had to do was run a mile but you were going up against another guy, the person who worked the hardest would win, it is natural competition. The species who work the hardest and be the more competitive will succeed hence why we rose above other mammals and animals.
Do you have an sources for evidence showing primal "genes".
According to evolutionary theory, this competition within and between species for resources plays a very relevant role in natural selection
Competition (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Competition is the essence of natural selection in that it's the manner by which the "bad" genes, or the genes that are wanted or aren't useful in the society, are taken out of the gene pool. After all, in the wild, competition usually means whether you or Joe gets to eat tonight or whether you or Jane gets to live. Once you die, you no longer can reproduce and pass on your genes. Albeit It may not be genetic, but it still is implanted in us, as is the flight or fight reaction.
Albeit It may not be genetic, but the survival of the fittest impulse it still is implanted in us, as is the flight or fight reaction.
Where are the sources for the primal "genes" thats what you based your argument??
I have stated that although it is not genetic, competition is naturally an impulse within our bodies, like the fight or flight reaction.
Sorry... but that doesn't prove that competition is part of human progress or evolution for that matter.

It may not prove it, but it's pretty obvious to anyone who has a brain. Competition is the basis of evolution itself.
So do you have any source to disprove it?
Competition is one of the most basic functions of nature. Those best able to compete survive. Those least well adapted die out. Competition remains a powerful instinctual drive in human nature. We compete against each other, we compete against ourselves, and we compete as groups against other groups. Even when the negative aspects of competition inspire us to attempt to intellectually deny this aspect of our nature, we typically end up competing at being non-competitive.
No... you provide a link that didn't state that competition is the reason for human progress or evolution. You keep talk like you coming from one of konrad lorenz papers.
Competition is an interaction between organisms or species, in which the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another
Fitness is a central idea in evolutionary theory. It can be defined either with respect to a genotype or to a phenotype in a given environment. In either case, it describes the ability to both survive and reproduce
May I ask why you cannot provide one that backs up your claims? Maybe it is because they are not scientific fact?
Competition (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also I am aware that Konrad Lorenz was a Nazi, stop comparing me to Nazi's, I am not a Nazi.
Your source is not saying the same thing your saying. You need a new source..... I don''t need counterscource because your evidence doesn't back up your claims
If differences between alleles of a given gene affect fitness, then the frequencies of the alleles will change over generations; the alleles with higher fitness become more common. This process is called natural selection.
Fitness is not the same as competition.
This process is called natural selection.
Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait, and selective pressure can be produced by any aspect of the environment, including sexual selection and competition with members of the same or other species
Thats the same idea he propose.

I just find it coincidental that you have mentioned Nazi's in two of your posts to me now...
competition is not natural selection.
your link doesn't say anything about fitness is caused competition.
Heritable traits are not caused by competition.
Konrad Lorenz Justify the nazi extermination with his theories. Your justifying poverty, feudalism and income inequality with your incorrect ideas about biology.
