Varn mentions neoliberal state, despite ideology, has grown vis-à-vis fordis in terms of public private partnerships etc, can you point to some reading on this
Derick Varn
I made a mistake in this I said that CPUSA never ran candidates, they did but they did so poorly it is rarely discussed. They ran candidates during third periodism from 1924 to 1936 and once in 1940 (It was William Z Foster and then Browder) but got less than 0.2% of the vote and then from 1968 to 1984 (But it was all but ones Gus Hall and never cleared more than .01% of vote).
