'''Frank Chapman''' served on the [[KGB]] front organization, the [[U.S. Peace Council]] which actively opposed U.S. President [[Ronald Reagan]]'s [[nuclear weapon]]s modernization program. The [[Soviet]] [[policy]] of a "nuclear freeze" was an effort to forestall the final collapse of [[CPSU]] [[monopoly]] control of the [[Russia]]n [[social]], [[political]], and [[economic]] system. Chapman, [[Barbara Lee]], [[Alice Palmer]] and others served on the councils Executive Board.
Writing in the official [[Communist party USA]] publication the ''[[People's Weekly World]]'', Chapman commented on [[Barack Obama]]'s win in the Iowa [[Democratic Party]] caucuses,
{{Cquote|Obama's victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. [[Marx]] once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old [[revolution]]ary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through.
The old pattern of politics as usual has been broken. It may not have happened as we expected it to happen but what matters is that it happened. The message is clear: we can and must defeat the ultra-right, by uniting the broadest possible coalition that will represent an overwhelming majority of the people in a new political dynamic. We must
quickly shed yesterday's political perspective and get in step with the march of events.<ref>http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/12302/1/405</ref>}}
