Stalin, the Purges and World War II . 28 Appendix: De Leon and the 1905 Revolution . 36 2 Introduction The publication of this pamphlet fills a long-felt gap in Socialist Labor Party literature. Drawing on the Party’s internal organizational history as well as its public record, the pamphlet traces the evolution of the SLP’s attitude toward the U.S.S.R. from its first response to the October Revolution in 1917 through its refusal to join the Third Inter- national to its final break with the Soviet Union on the eve of World War II. For the first time, it sets down in one place the SLP’s history on one of the key questions of the 20th century. Since the pamphlet does this quite well, there is no need to restate its contents here. Instead, by way of introduction, the opportunity presents itself to shed some light on one of the secondary themes of the pamphlet, namely the relationship between Lenin, Daniel De Leon and the SLP. Specifically, what did Lenin know of De Leon and the party associated with his name, and in what light should Lenin’s statements on De Leon (statements well known to those familiar with SLP history) be viewed? Although the current pamphlet touches on this topic insofar as it affect- ed the SLP’s early attitude toward Russia, more complete information helps to fill out the picture.

  • "Our Attitude Towards the Third Party," by Max Bedacht

    "Our Attitude Towards the Third Party," by Max Bedacht

    Our Attitude Towards the Third Party by Max Bedacht Published in The Daily Worker, Magazine Supplement, Feb. 2, 1924, Section 2, pp. 5, 8. The radical comrades won a great victory at the Convention of the Workers Party [3rd: Chicago: Dec. 30, 1923-Jan. 2, 1924], was the joyful report made by the Volkszeitung to its readers on New Year’s day. And a few days later a leading article crowned the brow of com- rade [Ludwig] Lore with a laurel crown for this “victory” and added that the victory is still not complete and that difficult struggles are ahead. And the discussion thus far in the Volkszeitung seems to represent the heavy blows of the opponent in this hard struggle against the the- ses of the Central Executive Committee. May I remark that something more than an assertion of a report in the Volkszeitung is needed to make the world believe that the Fin- nish language group in alliance with Comrades Lore, [Alexander] Trachtenberg, [Juliet] Poyntz, etc. are all at once promoted to custo- dians of radicalism in the Party. Particularly Comrade Poyntz, who every time she regards her calloused laborer’s fists can suppress only with difficulty a fit of rage against the wicked intellectuals and “non- workers” in the Party.1 1 Bedacht is being sarcastic. Juliet Stuart Poyntz (1886-1937?), the daughter of a lawyer, held a Master’s Degree from Columbia University and was long employed in sundry Left Wing academic and educational ventures. Poyntz worked variously as a researcher for the US Immigration Commission and for the American Asso- ciation for Labor Legislation, as an instructor at the Socialist Party’s Rand School of Social Science, as education director of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, and as director of the New York Workers’ School of the Workers Party of America.

    A Socialist Critique of the “Marxist-Leninist” Left

    After the Revolution: Who Rules? A socialist critique of the “Marxist-Leninist” left. Published Online by Socialist Labor Party of America www.slp.org March 2007 After the Revolution: Who Rules? A socialist critique of the “Marxist-Leninist” left PUBLISHING HISTORY PRINTED EDITION ..................................... January 1978 ONLINE EDITION ....................................... March 2007 NEW YORK LABOR NEWS P.O. BOX 218 MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA 94042-0218 http://www.slp.org/nyln.htm Introduction The articles compiled here were prompted by a call for the formation of a “new communist party” issued in June of 1977. The call came from the New York-based radical newspaper, the Guardian, and was one of several proposals for a new party to come out of the U.S. left over the past few years. In a broader sense, however, these articles are not so much a reply to the Guardian as they are a general critique of the theory and programs of the various “Marxist-Leninist” groups. As a consequence, they include an important discussion of basic Marxist concepts and of the fundamental content of a revolutionary socialist program. As mentioned in the text, the pro-Maoist Marxist-Leninist groups enjoyed a period of expansion in the U.S. and Europe during the late 1960s and early ’70s. This expansion came on the heels of the “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution” in China and the emergence of the People’s Republic from over 25 years of relative isolation. China’s influence, combined with the intense opposition throughout the capitalist world to U.S. imperialism’s war on Vietnam, produced a sizable number of youth whose radicalization was expressed in terms of “Marxism-Leninism Mao Tse- tung1 Thought.” However, those tied to China’s rising star soon found themselves in a dilemma familiar to all who allow bureaucratic governments in Peking, Moscow or elsewhere to do their thinking.

JOHANNINGSMEIER The organization knownas the Trade UnionUnity League(TUUL) came intoformal existenceat anAugust 1929 conferenceof Communists and radical unionistsin Cleveland.The TUUL’s purposewas to create and nourish openly Communist-led unionsthat wereto be independent of the American Federation ofLabor in industries suchas mining, textile, steeland auto. When the TUUL was created, a numberof the CommunistParty’ s mostexperienced activists weresuspicious of the sectarian logic inherentin theTUUL’ s program. In Moscow,where the creation ofnew unions had beendebated by theCommunists the previous year, someAmericans— working within their establishedAFL unions—had argued furiously against its creation,loudly ac- cusingits promoters ofneedless schism. The controversyeven emerged openly for a time in theCommunist press in theUnited States. In 1934, after ve years ofaggressive butmostly unproductiveorganizing, theTUUL was formally dissolved.After the Comintern’s formal inauguration ofthe Popular Front in 1935 many ofthe same organizers whohad workedin theobscure and ephemeral TUULunions aided in the organization ofthe enduring industrial unionsof the CIO. 1 Historiansof American labor andradicalism have had difculty detectingany legitimate rationale for thefounding of theTUUL.

  • 'Our Motto, No Compromise': the Ideological Origins and Foundation of the Communist Party of New Zealand

    'Our Motto, No Compromise': the Ideological Origins and Foundation of the Communist Party of New Zealand

    'Our Motto, No Compromise': THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS AND FOUNDATION OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF NEW ZEALAND1 ON 9 APRIL 1921 a small group of people met in Wellington's Socialist Hall to form the Communist Party of New Zealand (CPNZ). The hall had been a focal point of the left wing in Wellington for more than a decade. With the establish- ment of the new revolutionary organization the building was renamed the Communist Hall, symbolizing that the party saw itself embarking on a new path. In continuing to use the old hall, however, it had self-consciously maintained a connection with previous left-wing traditions. This was not simply wishful thinking, for the newly established CPNZ did bring together elements of three revolutionary traditions which had emerged from within the New Zealand Socialist Party (NZSP) during the period 1910 to 1913. The CPNZ is the most important and longest standing organization of the New Zealand left. Yet the party's history has been relatively neglected and misinter- preted. Historians have repeatedly suggested that the New Zealand Marxian Association (NZMA), which represented one of the three revolutionary tradi- tions, was the dominant force in the formation of the CPNZ. Gordon Watson, a prominent communist intellectual during the 1930s, first claimed that the CPNZ grew 'out of the Marxian Association'.2 Another influential account, also originating within the communist tradition, argues that the NZMA was the 'direct forerunner' of the CPNZ.3 These two accounts have served as the basis for the continuing acceptance of the proposition that the NZMA was the crucial contributor to the CPNZ.

Libertarian socialists believe in converting present-day private productive property into the commons or public goods, while retaining respect for personal property[5]. Libertarian socialism is opposed to coercive forms of social organization. It promotes free association in place of government and opposes the social relations of capitalism, such as wage labor.[6] The term libertarian socialism is used by some socialists to differentiate their philosophy from state socialism[7][8] or by some as a synonym for left anarchism.[1][2][9] Adherents of libertarian socialism assert that a society based on freedom and equality can be achieved through abolishing authoritarian institutions that control certain means of production and subordinate the majority to an owning class or political and economic elite.[10] Libertarian socialism also constitutes a tendency of thought that
