Secondly, regardless of what the CPUSA stands for, the definitions of what Socialism and Marxism are have not changed. So if the CPUSA does not advocate worker ownership of the means of production that just means they no longer advocate Marxist economics... yes and?
ALL goverment policy and ALL SOCIETIES engage in wealth redistribution. Even the (using mathematical terms) degenerate case of a 2 person society. Until we start cloning humans and raising them in identical creches, in identical world circumstances, at any point in time EVERY society is engaged in some form of wealth transfer.
Thus Wealth Transfer is not a hallmark of Socialism, Marxism or Capitalism per se. Its a hallmark of SOCIETY
That you don't understand what Marxism means or how society operates or even how economic analysis works does not excuse your abuse of words with defined meanings
