Gus Hall (October 8, 1910–October 13, 2000) was a US American revisionist politician who is notable for being the General Secretary of the Communist Party USA between 1959 until 2000. During his leadership of the CPUSA, he maintained the opportunist course of his predecessors and subjugated the Party to the interests and political line of the Soviet revisionists, to the extent of supporting the openly anti-communist policies of Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s.[1][2]
