| | Gus Hall (1910-2000): Stalinist operative and decades-long leader of Communist Party USA |
| | Hall was born Arvo Kusta Halberg on October 8, 1910 in the mining area of northern Minnesota. | | | Hall would often hark back to the days when the “center-left” alliance of Stalinists and labor bureaucrats worked in tandem for Roosevelt. | | | Apprehended within a few months, his jail term was lengthened to eight years, which he served at the Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. |

| | Gus Hall learnt the truth of his parents' political position early in his working life, in the hardships of the logging camps. | | | When the Smith Act was thrown out by the Supreme Court and Hall and others were released, he became instead a "political pedestrian": in an act of petty bastardry, the State of New York even revoked his driver's licence. | | | In 1976, in a race where to vote for other than one of the two "main" parties is to be derided for "wasting" your vote, almost 60,000 Americans voted for the Communist Gus Hall for President. |

| | Workers World Nov. 2, 2000: Gus Hall |
| | Gus Hall himself was one of 12 CPUSA leaders indicted in 1948 under the Smith Act gag law, and he spent eight years in jail for his views. | | | The Smith Act had earlier been used under Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt to imprison 18 leaders of the Socialist Workers Party because of their opposition to World War II. | | | It should be remembered that the harsh anti-communist campaign called the Cold War, which so tore up the Bill of Rights, began under the presidency of a Democrat, Harry S. Truman. |

| | After World War II, Hall would join 10 other leaders indicted under the Smith Act (which the CP had supported when it was first used against rival Trotskyites) for advocating the violent overthrow of the American government, and eventually served six years in Leavenworth. | | | His Finnish parents were radical Wobblies who lived a gaunt existence in Minnesota and became early members of the CPUSA. | | | Since 1962, Hall lived with his wife in, ironically, Yonkers, an avuncular figurehead presiding over the shards of his party and bemoaning the curse of perestroika. |

| | The Associated Press reports that American Communist Party chief Gus Hall died today. | | | It's interesting that up to his death, Hall was proud of his Communist advocacy and disappointed at the turn of events that brought down the Communist dictatorships in Eastern Europe. | | | On the other hand, it's kind of amusing that the obituary notes that among other things Hall had difficulty obtaining a credit card because of his Communist affiliation. |
