Hungary Communist Hungarian Party in the USA

In one of my treks to the local antique book store, I like to look for the little propoganda booklets that were handed out to the workers. What I found one time was some very interesing items. These books date from the 1920's - but that is just a rough guess as there is no publishing date (they were timeless??) This one is a more disturbing one for me - "the Religion of Capitalism", the book speaks of the Christian faith as a propogator of such evil...

This is on the back of one of the other books - it give the details of where to find the bookstore. These little booklets are interesitng as they were printed in the USA by a chapter of the Communist Party in the USA (I would guess) for Hungarians. The bookstore is never refered to as an English name - "A MUNKAS" (the Worker) so my suspicion would be that the sign out front was in Hungarian. Another speculation is if someone from the Bela Kun - Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919 - who escpaed Horhty and the National Army, went to America to continue the fight (many of teh Kun government fled to the safe havens of Moscow during that time)
