To the workers of Germany and Austria and Poland and Bohemia, freed from the choking yoke of their sanguinary political and military rulers. May they achieve in the new year their emancipation from economic slavery, and may they rear upon the unshakable foundations of true democracy the enduring structures of free, happy and pacific Socialist republics.

May the new year bring them enlightenment and progress, and may they conquer for themselves that position in the government of their country to which their numbers and economic importance entitle them. A Happy New Year, a happy new era, a happy new world! The coming year will probably mark the turning point in human history. It will be a decisive year for international Socialism. It will bring us great triumphs and conquests, but also hard struggles and trials. Let us meet them like men and like Socialists, comrades,-loyally, courage- ously and unflinchingly.

  • The Rand School of Social Science: 140 E 19Th Street, New York: What the Rand School Is
    The Rand School of Social Science: 140 E 19th Street, New York: What the Rand School Is Unsigned article in St. Louis Labor, whole no. 761 (Sept. 4, 1915), pg. 6. Likely an uncredited reprint from the New York Call. “I do not undervalue the part which sentiment plays in social progress. Love of liberty and hatred fro injustice are great motive forces. But I am of the opinion that sentiment reaches its higher power when it is backed by arithmetic. It is not enough to have an inspiring ideal; we must also know the conditions and means to its realization. No revolution ever rises above the intellectual level of the class by which it is achieved. In order that the movement of the proletariat may fulfill our hopes, the working class itself must be equipped with knowledge adequate to the greatness of its task.” In such words as these Lucien Sanial, a white-haired and young- hearted veteran of the Socialist and Labor movement in America, speaking at a dinner held by friends of the Rand School of Social Sci- ence, had stated the need which the institution serves. The establishment of the Rand School in 1906 was made possible by an endowment provided at the suggestion of Prof. George D. Her- ron, by the late Mrs. Carrie D. Rand, with a contributory fund added by her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Rand Herron, who showed a keen inter- est in the work until her untimely death early in 1914. The income from this fund is supplemented by tuition fees and by donations from individuals and organizations in sympathy with the purpose of the school.

  • Rethinking the Historiography of United States Communism: a Comment
    American Communist History, Vol. 2, No. 2, 2003 Rethinking the Historiography of United States Communism: A Comment JOHN MCILROY Bryan Palmer’s critical commentary on the historiography of American Com- munism is eloquent and persuasive and I fully endorse the core components of his argument. Absent or insubstantial in many studies, both traditional and revisionist, a singular casualty of historical amnesia, Stalinism matters. A proper understanding of American Communism demands an account of its political refashioning from the mid-1920s.1 Moreover, Palmer’s important rehabilitation of the centrality of programmatic disjuncture opens up what a simplistic dissolution of Stalinism into a timeless, ahistorical official Commu- nism closes down: the existence of and the need to historicize different Commu- nisms, the reality of an “anti-Communism” of the left as well as of the right, the possibility of rediscovering yesterday and tomorrow a revolutionary interna- tionalism liberated from Stalinism which threatened not only capital but organized labor, working-class freedoms and any prospect of socialism. In this note I can touch tersely on only two points: the issue of continuity and rupture in the relationship between the Russians and the American Party in the 1920s and the question of how alternative Communisms handled the problem of international organization. Russian Domination and Political Rupture My emphasis on the continuity of Moscow control of US Communism is different from Palmer’s. What I find striking is the degree to which Russian domination of the Comintern and thus of the politics of its American section was sustained from 1920, even if the political content of that domination changed significantly as Stalinism developed.

The SLP presented its first national ticket in 1892, featuring Simon Wing and Charles Matchett as candidates for President and Vice President respectively. Newspaper editor Daniel De Leon is credited with the expansion of the SLP in the United States by using his newspaper, The Weekly People, to reach a larger audience for the SLP’s ideas. In 1894, following De Leon’s lead, the SLP dedicated itself exclusively to its ideal of industrial democracy. In 1893, the SLP published a “Manifesto of the Socialist Labor Party of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts”.

The methodology employed is qualitative with a heuristic/psychological underpinning that relies in part on the theories of Clark Moustakas and which then supports a Marxist, feminist aspect centring on reader-response theories.
