According to my father, who grew up in LA in the 30s and 40s, this picture was taken near the corner of 3rd and Spring in downtown Los Angeles. Eagleson's Big and Tall was at that corner. In the background is the 3rd street tunnel so the woman is walking east on third street.

Also according to my father, in the 40s in left-wing circles "immigrants" in this context meant Japanese, both native-born and immigrants, because the word "Japanese" was never said out loud except by racists/nativists. His parents were CPUSA in LA at this time, so he heard them talking about it a lot.

The American dream dies

There’s no system better at crushing dreams than monopoly capitalism.

When Claudia Jones' parents immigrated to the United States from Trinidad and Tobago in 1922, “they hoped to find their fortunes in America where ‘gold was to be found on the streets.’” (Autobiographical History, Claudia Jones).

Instead, they found poverty, Jim Crow oppression, and despair.

These evils disillusioned Claudia Jones and showed her the hypocrisy of the so-called American Dream. She would become a Marxist-Leninist organizer, theorist and revolutionary.

IMO a pretty good article from a knowledgeable comrade.

"The contradiction of the AI industry is the socialization of its costs versus the privatization of its anticipated profits. The final product may seem omnipresent and digital, but it is inseparable from a deeply physical, geographically-concentrated production process."

The racially mixed , smartly dressed browsers of progressive books in this 1938 photograph seem to be living out the CPUSA slogan of that time, "Communism is Twentieth Century Americanism"; note the "Harvard Communist" in the lower right hand quarter of the picture, the nearby collection box for aid for Spain, and the photograph of volunteers who were fighting for the Spanish Republican cause.

The following year's cynically concluded Hitler-Stalin pact and the anticommunism of the postwar decades dealt the US left blows from which it has never fully recovered.

I wonder about the various fates of the individuals pictured here.
