[Helmut-Harry Loewen @HarryLoewe19284]

“The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) / Daily Worker / Daily World Archives are already one of the most sought-after and requested archives in the NYU Tamiment system, with researchers often reserving a spot for access months in advance. The addition of these 185,000 never-before-seen photos will add to this demand—and likely continue a trend among honest historians of rewriting the history of the Communist Party, the Daily Worker, and various Communist-affiliated groups as grassroots, popular, people-powered, democratic organizations.  For example, the photo negatives range from civil rights and labor protests to images of CPUSA leaders Gus Hall and Angela Davis, as well as marches by the National Negro Congress demanding an end to lynch terror or protests in support of the Black Panther Party. There are images of multi-racial demonstrations in support of the Chinese people as they faced down fascism and Japanese colonialism in the 1930s, before World War II. Asian, Black, and white activists were marching together, challenging the racism and segregation of their time.“

Arendt and Heidegger "are united by a radical aristocratism. Those who refuse to acknowledge this uncomfortable connection replace critical analysis with blind adoration.” Emmanuel Faye, Professor of Philosophy at the Université de Rouen-Normandie.
