RISE OF SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM

The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) is a Marxist-Leninist political party in the United States.

During the first half of the 20th century it was the largest and most widely influential communist party in the country, and played a prominent role in the U.S. labor movement from the 1920s through the 1940s, founding most of the country's major industrial unions and pursuing intense anti-racist activity in workplaces and city communities throughout this first part of its existence.

Simultaneously the CPUSA survived the Palmer Raids, the first Red Scare, and many similar attempts at suppression of communist activity by the Government of the United States through the end of World War II. By August 1919, only months after its founding, the CPUSA had 60,000 members, including anarchists and other leftists, while the more moderate Socialist Party of America had only 40,000.

POST WAR, AMERICAN BUSINESS

Mass production is the production of large amounts of standardized products on production lines.It was popularized by Henry Ford in the early 20th century, notably in his Ford Model T.Mass production typically uses moving tracks or conveyor belts to move partially complete products to workers to perform simple repetitive tasks. This permits very high rates of production.

An assembly line is a manufacturing process in which parts (usually interchangeable parts) are added to a product in a sequential manner . The best known form of the assembly line, the moving assembly line, was realized into practice by Ford Motor Company between 1908 and 1915, and made famous in the following decade by the social ramifications of mass production, such as the affordability of the Ford Model T and the introduction of high wages for Ford workers.

THE AUTOMOBILE“I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one-and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces.” HENRY FORD

(1923)1          Droning a drowsy syncopated tune, 2          Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon, 3              I heard a Negro play. 4          Down on Lenox Avenue the other night 5          By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light 6              He did a lazy sway .... 7              He did a lazy sway .... 8          To the tune o' those Weary Blues. 9          With his ebony hands on each ivory key 10        He made that poor piano moan with melody. 11            O Blues! 12        Swaying to and fro on his rickety stool 13        He played that sad raggy tune like a musical fool. 14            Sweet Blues! 15        Coming from a black man's soul. 16            O Blues! 17        In a deep song voice with a melancholy tone 18        I heard that Negro sing, that old piano moan-- 19            "Ain't got nobody in all this world, 20            Ain't got nobody but ma self.

21             I's gwine to quit ma frownin' 22             And put ma troubles on the shelf." 23        Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor. 24        He played a few chords then he sang some more-- 25            "I got the Weary Blues 26            And I can't be satisfied. 27            Got the Weary Blues 28            And can't be satisfied-- 29            I ain't happy no mo' 30            And I wish that I had died." 31        And far into the night he crooned that tune. 32        The stars went out and so did the moon. 33        The singer stopped playing and went to bed 34        While the Weary Blues echoed through his head. 35        He slept like a rock or a man that's dead.

Summary:  The speaker of Langston Hughes's "The Weary Blues" describes an evening of listening to a blues musician in Harlem.  With its diction, its repetition of lines and its inclusion of blues lyrics, the poem evokes the mournful tone and tempo of blues music and gives readers an appreciation of the state of

mind of the blues musician in the poem.
