American Communist Party (2024-)


Christopher Joseph Helali is the international secretary of the Party of Communists USA; he ran for election as a communist to the U.S. Senate to represent Vermont. He declared ran in the 2022 legislative election[1] and was the first communist to run in a major U.S. election since 1984.[2] The Department of Homeland Security targeted him because of his connections to Antifa and his experience fighting against ISIS in Syria.[3] Helali supports the People's Republic of China—despite the Constitution and Statutes of PCUSA demanding a rejection of all socialist experiments in the 21st century and of market socialism[4]—and the Russian Federation[5] and has written several editorials for CGTN.

Helali was formerly an anarchist and Secretary-Treasurer of the Boston Branch of the IWW in 2016 before being disgraced and accused of embezzlement of organization funds to the amount of $4,510. Zipporah Legarde, Helali’s ex-partner, stated that the two had decided to have a child, but that Helali abandoned her after getting her pregnant and refused to take accountability for the child.[6] On May 2, 2019, Zipporah wrote a final statement explaining that Helali had filed a temporary restraining order against her and had been purposely avoiding child support and paternity papers, noting that his legal actions and emotional abuse jeopardized her safety and warning that those who supported her should not engage with Helali since this might extend the conflict, writing, "we should honor his choice, especially as disobeying puts me in danger of further involvement with the State."[7]

Political positions

Helali called for nationalizing major industries and establishing free health care and free education from preschool to graduate school. He wants to abolish the prison–industrial complex, FBI, CIA, NSA, and pay reparations to colonized nations within the United States.[2][8]

Helali has called for the abolition of NATO,[9] closing all foreign U.S. military bases, and ending all economic sanctions.[2]
