In June 1930, during the national convention of the Communist Party USA in New York, it was declared "The storm of the economic crisis in the United States blew down the house of cards of American exceptionalism and the whole system of opportunistic theories and illusions that had been built upon American capitalist 'prosperity'".
1930. aasta juunis kuulutati ameerika kommunistide kokkutulekul, et "majanduskriisi torm puhus laiali Ameerika erandlikkuse kaardimajakese ja kogu selle oportunistlike teooriate ja illusioonide süsteemi, millel Ameerika kapitalistlik 'jõukus' seisis".
