The party membership was at its peak during the Great Depression, and American Communists were big advocates of US entrance into the war in the run up to Pearl Harbor.

Fucking bizarre, considering that for the first two years of the war the US Communist Party followed the 'party line' and slobbed the knob of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

We had a very real and notable split in public opinion on the subject of which side of the war to support in the run up to the Japanese attack on Hawaii.

Like fuck we did. Jesus Christ. The only question of relevance was whether to join the war or not, not whose side to join it on. Do you enjoy spreading pro-fascist disinformation?
