Why does this book make right-wingers seethe so much?

What's so dangerous about it that it and the author have become the subject of conspiracy theories from the right, in the same way the Frankfurt School, Saul Alinsky, and Planned Parenthood have?

What was so "evil" about the CPUSA in the early 1930s?

1930s CPUSA was revolutionary only in appearance. Browder's transition to a "Popular Front" strategy for the party resulted in compromise after compromise in order to appease the white ruling class. Those photos of large conventions that everyone likes to fantasize about—usually captioned with, "Communism is 20th Century Americanism" are a perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with this direction. The party's efforts to embed themselves within the CIO didn't fare well either, which led to mass expulsions by union leadership after the war.

Let's not forget either that if the Party hadn't been so visible in the 1930s and recruited tons upon tons of normies the feds wouldn't have come down on them as hard as they did in the late 40s/early 50s.

Whatever "street code" they had was broken when they let revisionists into the leadership.

True but the book was written during the Third Period when the CPUSA rightly condemned the likes of FDR as social democratic pied pipers.

Because pretty much all right wing thought after the dawn of the 20th century is a kind of delusional psychosis, a kind of schizophrenic paranoia that can only justify itself and continue to exist by said methods of psychosis and paranoia. In the year of 2021, anyone further right than Bernie Sanders is rather a complete retard, a genuine schizoid, or a selfish rich opportunist.

Lenin commented on this a century ago.
>The prospect of partitioning China elicited from Hobson the following economic appraisal: “The greater part of Western Europe might then assume the appearance and character already exhibited by tracts of country in the South of England, in the Riviera, and in the tourist-ridden or residential parts of Italy and Switzerland, little clusters of wealthy aristocrats drawing dividends and pensions from the Far East, with a somewhat larger group of professional retainers and tradesmen and a larger body of personal servants and workers in the transport trade and in the final stages of production of the more perishable goods: all the main arterial industries would have disappeared, the staple foods and semi-manufactures flowing in as tribute from Asia and Africa…. We have foreshadowed the possibility of even a larger alliance of Western states, a European federation of Great Powers which, so far from forwarding the cause of world civilisation, might introduce the gigantic peril of a Western parasitism, a group of advanced industrial nations, whose upper classes drew vast tribute from Asia and Africa, with which they supported great tame masses of retainers, no longer engaged in the staple industries of agriculture and manufacture, but kept in the performance of personal or minor industrial services under the control of a new financial aristocracy.
