    I'm not sure if there is an American identity that can be recovered politically, but every successful socialist project has also been a nation building project. The CPUSA in the popular front era tried to embrace a leftist American nationalism based on what they saw as the radical potential of the war for independence and the union cause in the civil war but they probably aren't people you'd want to emulate considering what happened to them.
