The documentary American Reds sheds light on the Communist Party USA's vision of a better world, despite its flaws and limitations. The Party recognized that resolving America's social, political, and economic injustices required a fundamental change to the existing system. They understood that any gains made for working people and against racism and sexism could be easily reversed under the current system. As a result, the battlefields where American communists fought for social justice and equality remain relevant today, with ongoing conflicts over racism, anti-unionism, wealth inequality, sexism, and fascism.
