Earl Russell Browder (May 20, 1891 – June 27, 1973) was a Statesian political activist who served as General Secretary of the CPUSA from 1930 until 1945, when he was purged for his revisionist beliefs. He failed to understand the differences between bourgeois and proletarian democracy and saw socialism as an extension of the traditions of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson,[1] a view shared by modern patriotic socialists, and rejected the self-determination of the New Afrikan nation.[2]

Political career

Great Depression

Browder supported Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal during the Great Depression.[3] He ran for President with James Ford in 1936 and received roughly 80,000 votes.[1] He did not consider Roosevelt's interventions in Latin America under the Good Neighbor policy to be imperialist.[4]

Second World War

Browder was arrested in the fall of 1939 for passport violations and was sentenced to prison in March 1941. Roosevelt released him one year later under mass pressure.[5]

During the Second World War, Browder believed that the USA and UK would become allies with the Soviet Union because they fought together against Germany. He also called for national unity with the U.S. bourgeoisie during the war and believed the temporary alliance between Chiang Kai-shek and the CPC against Japan would lead to a long-term unity government.[6]
