The Neo-Marxist Plan to Take Over the Democratic Party
Today's Democratic Party is Pushing a Maoist Cultural Revolution upon America
This is an excerpt from my book The Truth About Neo-Marxism, Cultural Maoism, and Anarchy
In the 1930s, the Communists in the United States developed a stealth plan to take over the Democratic Party. Jack Kawano was a young longshore leader who joined the Communist Party in Hawaii in the 1920s. Through the post–World War II period, Kawano played a role in the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Democratic Party in Hawaii.
On February 10, 1951, Jack Kawano wrote a letter to Hawaii’s territorial Subversive Activities Committee, in which he admitted to having joined the Communist Party. In the letter, Kawano explained why he initially felt that the Communist Party’s objectives were consistent with his aims for the ILWU. “I did not think it was harmful to the union as long as the Communists were willing to assist me in bringing up the living standards of the workingman because they led me to believe that the basic existence of the Communist Party was primarily to promote the best interests of the workingman,” he wrote. “I decided to quit the Communist Party because I found that the primary purpose of the Communist Party was not for the best interests of the workingman but to dupe the members of the union for purposes other than strictly trade-union matters.”

On July 6, 1951, Kawano testified before the House Un-American Affairs Committee (HUAC) in Washington, DC. Kawano made clear that in 1948, the Communist Party decided to infiltrate and take over the Democratic Party. He explained in his HUAC testimony that the plan was for “[t]he Communist Party, through the ILWU and other organizations will, join the Democratic Party.” Next, the Communist Party would “take over leadership of it [the Democratic Party] by getting the majority of convention delegates elected who were Communists, Communist sympathizers, or at least union men.”
Kawano continued his testimony by explaining that Hawaii’s Communist Party had decided to go underground, preferring to gain power through a stealth takeover of Hawaii’s Democratic Party. “With enough infiltration, we could control the Democratic Party of Hawaii,” Kawano explained. His testimony left no doubt that the Communist Party in Hawaii had decided to go underground by rebranding their identities as members of Hawaii’s Democratic Party.
Kawano noted how nearly victorious the Hawaii Communists were:
“I believe that the influence of the Communist Party in the Democratic Party of Hawaii is very strong, and if it were not for the few liberals in the Democratic Party who are strongly anti-Communist but at the same time command the respect of many laboring people and union members, and who are fighting Communists in the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party of Hawaii would be controlled by the Communist Party. These few liberals are having a tough time trying to keep the control of the Democratic Party out of the hands of people influenced by Communists.”[1]
Paul Kengor, PhD, is a political science professor at Grove City College in Pennsylvania and an expert on Communist infiltration into America. In his 2012 book The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis—The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor, Kengor documented that Davis abruptly decided to move from Chicago to Honolulu, Hawaii, at the urge of singer Paul Robeson, who like Davis was also a Communist. Here is how Kengor related the story:
“I had also talked with Paul Robeson,” he [Frank Marshall Davis] added, “who the previous year had appeared there [in Hawaii] in a series of concerts sponsored by the International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union (ILWU), the most powerful labor organization in the territory. Paul enthusiastically supported our pending trip.” Frank then added two more very revealing names: “I also wrote to Harry Bridges, head of the ILWU, whom I had met at the Lincoln School. He suggested I get in touch with Koji Ariyoshi, editor of the Honolulu Record, a newspaper that was generally similar to the Chicago Star.”[1]
Kengor noted that Bridges and Ariyoshi, like Robeson and Davis, were secret members of the CPUSA. The ILWU, Chicago Star, and Honolulu Record were all either CPUSA organizations or were manipulated by the CPUSA “to further the Soviet/communist agenda.”[1] Kengor also noted that on September 4, 1948, before Davis decided suddenly to move to Hawaii, the Chicago Star announced that the newspaper had been sold to the Progressive Publishing Co. and renamed the Illinois Standard. One of the new board members to the Illinois Standard was Harry Canter, “whose family would mentor David Axelrod, the man who would get Barack Obama elected president.”[2] In 2008, Axelrod served as the manager of Obama’s presidential campaign. Kengor further documented that, in his first piece he wrote for the Honolulu Record, Davis hailed Robeson, arguing that the USSR had abolished racism.[3]
In his 1951 sworn testimony to HUAC, Jack Kawano explained that the Hawaiian Communist Party, at an executive meeting in 1948, decided to instruct its members to sell out their stock in the competing newspaper, the Hawaii Star, and transfer it to the Honolulu Record. He explained that the first issue of the Honolulu Record came out on August 8, 1948, about the same time Davis moved from Chicago to Honolulu. Kawano explained: “As they did with the Hawaii Star, the Honolulu Record got all the help from the ILWU through the Communists in it. However, it was a lot easier to hustle subscriptions and ads for this paper, because it was not concentrated for the alien Japanese and could be accepted by all who read the English language.”[4]
Kengor’s research confirmed that as the Hawaiian Communist Party “went underground” in the post–World War II era, its Communist members “infiltrated the Democratic party, the start of a long march by American communists.”[1] He commented that the Communists who infiltrated the Democratic Party in Hawaii continued “to masquerade as ‘progressives,’ except this time from within the Democratic Party.” He concluded that the decision in the late 1940s for the CPUSA to move its members by stealth into the Democratic Party in Hawaii “arguably helped foster a tectonic shift within the Democratic Party, moving it away from the party of JFK, Harry Truman, and (at one time) even Ronald Reagan, to the party of Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and Barack Obama.”[2]
Summing up, Kengor wrote the following:
“The FBI file reported details from an informant, provided in April 1950, saying that “members of the subversive element in Honolulu were concentrating their efforts on infiltration of the Democratic Party through control of Precinct Clubs and organizations.” These communist subversives were pushing “their candidates in these Precinct Club elections.” According to the informant, on April 6, 1950, one such candidate, Frank Marshall Davis, was elected “assistant secretary and delegate” to the Territorial Democratic Convention in his particular Precinct Club—the Third Precinct of the Fifth District. Frank, in fact, attended that convention on April 30, 1950. The Reds’ infiltration and internal subversion of the Democratic Party were on. And it would be as a “Democrat” that Frank would one day influence a future Democratic Party president [Barack Obama].”[3]
In The Communist, Kengor reprinted as “Figure 1” the summary page from Frank Marshall Davis’s six-hundred-page FBI file, including his Communist Party number: CP #47544.[4] Kengor’s note under the “Figure 1” FBI summary page indicates Kengor chose to publish this one page from Frank Marshall Davis’s extensive FBI file because the page listed Davis’s Communist Party number. Kenger obviously wanted to leave no doubt that Frank Marshall Davis was a committed Communist during his lifetime. When running for president in 2008, Barack Obama minimized Davis’s Communist ties. In his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, Obama discusses the influence Frank Marshall Davis had upon him when he was growing up in Hawaii. But Obama introduces Davis only by his first name, “Frank.” Obama neglects to mention Davis’s Communist past. Instead, he introduces Davis only as “a poet named Frank who lived in a dilapidated house in a run-down section of Waikiki.”[5] Obama only hints about Davis’s leftist past by mentioning that “Frank” was “a contemporary of Richard Wright and Langston Hughes during his years in Chicago.”[6] But then, if we examine the way the MSM has tried since 2008 to deny Barack Obama’s radical past, we get an insight into how the neo-Marxist MSM designs cover-up narratives by demonizing those who dare expose inconvenient political realities as “conspiracy theorists.”
