/* Democratic Socialists of America */
The DSA itself as of 2020 has 66,000 members nationwide and locals in almost every state. Other communist groups such as Communist Party USA, Liberation Road, [[Socialist Alternative]], Workers World Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, [[Socialist Unity Party]], and Revolutionary Communist Party and their allies in Black Lives Matter and [[Antifa]] can mobilize tens of thousands of militants and organizing cadre at short notice. The American [[Left]] has the power to start race riots in nearly every major U.S. city. DSA branches in [[Memphis]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Brooklyn]], [[Louisville]], [[Philadelphia]], and [[Richmond]] are raising funds for “George Floyd Uprisings Nationwide.”<ref>https://www.dsa-la.org/support_floyd_protests_nationwide</ref>
==-Stalin on front groups===
[[Joseph Stalin]] explained the function and working of front groups in coordinating a communist revolution:
{{quotebox|"We have fashioned a number of organization without which we could not wage war on capitalism: trade unions, cooperatives, workshop committees, labor parties, women's associations, a labor press, educational leagues, youth societies.
As often as not these are non-party organizations and only a certain proportion of them are linked with the party. But under special conditions, every one of these organizations is necessary; for, lacking them, it is impossible to consolidate the class positions of the workers in the various spheres of the struggle.
There is a veritable ant heap of independent organizations, commissions, and committees comprising millions of non-party members. Who decides upon the direction that all these organizations take? Where is the central unit of organization that wields sufficient authority to keep them within prescribed lines in order to achieve unity of command and to avoid confusion?
The central unit is the [[Communist party]]! "<ref>From the [[Stalin]] archives of the National War College in Washington, D.C., as quoted in ''Coronet'', vol. 29, no. 3 (January 1951), p. 23.
