Political Affairs
1945-2006

---

The magazine was a publication of the Communist Party USA and was founded in 1944 upon the closure of its predecessor, The Communist, which was founded in 1927. Well-known editors of Political Affairs Magazine included V.J. Jerome, Gus Hall, Hyman Lumer, Herbert Aptheker, Gerald Horne, and Joe Sims. Other editors included Max Weiss (activist). In 2016, the magazine stopped publishing articles and merged with People's World.

We will add more issues of Political Affairs as they become available. Scanning was done by archive.org. Marxists.org is not responsible for the quality of these scans.

In August of 2026 we found that the Banned Thought periodical archive, who previously provided us with a complete run of People's China and Peking Review also had a large run of Political Affairs. So, we decided to add the ones from Banned Thought to this archive beginning with the 1962 issues. Included in this are the tables of contents for each available issue composed by Banned Thought and which we provided below. We brought over the basic formatting used by Banned Thought though we did make some changes, such as changing any roman numerals to standard numeric text and we left the longer file names used by them the same.
