Введение
Недействующий журнал, издававшийся Коммунистической партией США с 1944 по 2016 год, представлял собой ежемесячное марксистское издание, которое первоначально выходило в печатном виде, а затем – только в сети Интернет. Его целью был анализ событий с точки зрения рабочего класса. Журнал являлся изданием Коммунистической партии США и был основан в 1944 году после прекращения существования его предшественника, журнала «Коммунист», основанного в 1927 году. Среди известных редакторов журнала «Политические дела» были В. Дж. Джером, Гас Холл, Хайман Люмер, Герберт Аптекер, Джеральд Хорн и Джо Симс. Также в число редакторов входил Макс Вайс. В 2016 году журнал прекратил публикацию и объединился с People's World.

История
При основании «Политические дела» был теоретическим органом Коммунистической партии США, публикуя преимущественно статьи, предназначенные почти исключительно для членов партии. В конце 1990-х годов эта роль изменилась. «Политические дела» отказались от своей роли внутрипартийного органа и заняли более широкую позицию, предлагая марксистский взгляд на многие современные проблемы и участвуя в теоретических дискуссиях, актуальных для марксистов и рабочего движения. Помимо статей, посвященных внутренней и внешней политике, журнал публикует поэзию, рецензии на книги, обзоры музыки и кино, интервью и отдельные рассказы. История издания восходит к газете The Masses, известной в Гринвич-Виллидж в 1910-х годах. После подавления правительством газета продолжила выходить под названием The Liberator. Независимо от этого, «Друзья Советской России» в 1919 году основали ежемесячный журнал «Советская Россия». В 1924 году название было изменено на Soviet Russia Pictorial. В марте 1922 года Уильям З. Фостер начал издавать «Labor Herald» как официальное издание своей Профсоюзной образовательной лиги. Когда Рабочая партия Америки была консолидирована в единую, легальную Коммунистическую партию в США, было решено, что партия должна иметь теоретический ежемесячник, а также ежедневную газету, в соответствии с рекомендациями Ленина в работе «Что делать?». Эти три издания были объединены в «Workers Monthly», который впервые вышел в ноябре 1924 года. В 1927 году название было изменено на «The Communist», а в 1944 году – на «Political Affairs».
At its founding, Political Affairs was the theoretical organ of the Communist Party USA, generally publishing articles intended almost exclusively for members of the Communist Party. In the late 1990s, that role changed. Political Affairs shed its role as an internal organ of the Communist Party and adopted a broader stance. It provides Marxist perspectives on many contemporary issues and engages in theoretical discussions relevant to Marxists and the labor movement. In addition to articles devoted to national and international politics, the magazine offers poetry, book reviews, occasional reviews of music and film, interviews, and occasional short stories. The publication can be traced back to The Masses, the famous Greenwich Village paper of the 1910s. After being suppressed by the government, the paper continued as The Liberator. Independently of this, the Friends of Soviet Russia had established another monthly, Soviet Russia, in 1919. In 1924 the title was changed to Soviet Russia Pictorial. Finally, William Z. Foster had begun Labor Herald as the official publication of his Trade Union Educational League in March 1922. When the Workers Party of America had finally been consolidated as the unified above ground Communist Party in the United States, it was determined that the party should have a theoretical monthly as well as a daily, in line with Lenin's guideline in What Is To Be Done? The above three publications were combined into Workers Monthly, which debuted in November 1924. It changed its name to The Communist in 1927 and to Political Affairs in 1944.
