Earl Browder was the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the United States of America from 1932 to 1945. During World War II, when the United States and Soviet Union were allied fighting Nazi Germany, Browder publicly took the position that Communism and capitalism could coexist, which was the position the Soviet Union had taken during World War II. After the war, when the position of the Soviet Union had changed and the Cold War had begun, Browder was expelled from the party for his past statements.
Browder was an active spy for the Soviet Union in the 1930s and '40s, recruiting agents, as was revealed by the Venona project.
