Communist Party of Georgia (U.S. state)

The Communist Party of Georgia, known more commonly as CPUSA Georgia and also known as the Georgian Communist Party, is a state affiliate of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) based in Georgia. Following the lead of the national CPUSA, CPUSA Georgia adheres to the principles of Marxism–Leninism and is currently a participant in the anti-Trump movement.^[1]

The height of the Communist Party of Georgia occurred during the Great Depression when Angelo Herndon served as the primary leading figure of the American labor movement within Georgia. Following World War II, McCarthyism and the Cold War ultimately destroyed the Georgian Communist movement by 1958.^[2] The movement has since reemerged in Georgia, however.

CPUSA Georgia has often clashed with other third parties based in Georgia, notably the Libertarian Party of Georgia (LPGA). Former Chairman of CPUSA Sam Webb once came to the University of Georgia (UGA) on behalf of CPUSA Georgia to debate against LPGA.^{[3][citation needed]}
