[edit]Communist Party USA in fiction
[edit]Can someone list somed fictional depictions of the Communist Party USA? Including movies, novels, comics, radio shows, etc. thanks. In real life they are just old Jewish ladies. --Gary123 (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

- It's been a while since I read it, but I seem to remember some stuff about communists in the U.S.A. trilogy by John Dos Passos, particularly the first novel The 42nd Parallel. Dos Passos himself had communist sympathies early in his life, although they gradually waned. --Richardrj talk email 09:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- You specify Communist Party USA, but I don't think american media often distinguishes one communist party from another. Do you just mean communist political organizations in general, or specifically CPUSA? / edg ☺ ☭ 09:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
What genre cansei de ser sexy plays??
[edit]the article say: Pop, Dance-pop, Electro, Indie. but pop: is a umbrella term. dance-pop too is a umbrella term indie is a umbrella term umbrella term and they don't play electro.
If anyone can tell the genre of music that they play, just say others bands that are really closer to what they play. Exdeathbr (talk) 19:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Allmusic calls them "indie electronic" and "indie rock" and gives a long list of similar groups. Some are probably way off, since I don't really see how it's possible to sound like Diplo, Lily Allen and the Scissor Sisters, but there you are. Recury (talk) 17:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- NME calls them Nu Rave, but then that genre is largely considered a joke - just about every band that have been called Nu Rave have gone on to deny it! Laïka 15:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
