The Proletarian Party of America (PPA) was a small communist political party in the United States, forming in 1920 and disbanding in 1971. Originally an offshoot of the Communist Party of America, the group maintained an independent existence for over five decades. It is best remembered for carrying forward Charles H. Kerr & Co., the oldest U.S. publisher of Marxist books.
