Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas

The All-America Anti-Imperialist League (also known as Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas, Spanish: Liga Antiimperialista de las Americas (LADLA)) was an international mass organization of Communist International established in 1925 to organize against American and European commercial expansion and military intervention in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

The organization was terminated in 1933 and replaced by a new Communist Party-sponsored group, the American League Against War and Fascism.

In the early 1920s, many Communist Parties affiliated with the Communist International (Comintern) maintained "Anti-Imperialist Departments" dedicated to building broad coalitions in opposition to the economic and military intervention of capitalist powers in the affairs of smaller colonial nations. In the Western hemisphere this took the form of organizing against the expansion of American commercial influence in the developing nations of Central and South America as well as the Caribbean basin, including especially Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

In the United States itself, the Anti-Imperialist Department of the well-funded Workers (Communist) Party of America was Charles Shipman (1895-1989), a draft-resisting American expatriate to Mexico who as "Jesús Ramírez" had been a delegate representing that country at the 2nd World Congress of the Comintern. In addition to Latin American concerns, Shipman's department had also propagandized against American commercial and military involvement in other parts of the globe, including particularly the Philippines and China.
