    REFLECTIONS ON SOCIALISM By Sam Webb National Chair [ COMMUNIST PARTY USA ] OVER THERE Again, I return from the other world Sometimes you can see it from here, through the blue doors of the sky. Over there, On the other side of this page, are roofs for all to make love under, and fires for all to share. Every hand is guaranteed a wheel, every restlessness a road. And you are there with me in that far country — laughter and ladders in the harvest orchards, a light enkindled on the shores of our skin, and the long streets of poverty have ended, like a poet’s arguments in the sea. Again, I return from the other world, with my hands full of wind. But I’ve seen the giant morning of that country, brothers and sisters under the skin of the sky, have breathed its free peace. And I want us to arise and go now, together laughing on our way to that place we have hunted since the first money drew blood. Sometimes you can see it from here, in the darkest angry eyes.

The urgency of that task, however, should not be converted into a rationale for socialists and com- munists to push the mute button on the socialist alternative. To the contrary, we should bring our vision of socialism into the public square; we are, after all, the Communist Party and socialism is at the core of our identity.

  • Alternative Thoughts and Practice to Contemporary
    International Critical Thought Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2012, 127–138 Alternative thoughts and practice to contemporary capitalism: A response to Francis Fukuyama’s criticism Cheng Enfua∗ and Ding Xiaoqinb Translated by Wang Shan aChinese Academy of Social Sciences, Beijing, China; bMarxism Research Institute and Center for Economics of Shanghai School, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai, China As Karl Marx revealed, the current deep crisis of capitalism is caused by the insurmountable interior conflicts along with its course of development. The capitalist world is facing a persistent crisis on the levels of economy, society, institution, and ideology. This paper from a global point of view summarizes the theories and practices of the alternatives to contemporary capitalism. The theoretical criticism and the innovative attempts on social reform and revolution against capitalism indicate the destiny of capitalist society and also reveal the future possibilities. Keywords: Marxism; socialism movement; socioeconomic reform; financial crisis 1. Introduction After the eruption of the 2008 global financial and economic crisis, the United States and most of the advanced capitalist countries in Europe have temporarily gave up the neoliberal policies. With the risk of being called ‘communist’, they have implemented a number of active bailouts. However, the monopolistic financial capitalists are rescued successfully while the general working class as a whole has been trapped by the debt crisis. And meanwhile, they have to bear the high unemployment and the reduced social welfare, when the financers are still enjoying the high bonus and the lowest tax rate. The ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement represents the emotional outbreak from the 99% of ordinary American people who do not have as much power as the financial and political elites who only account for 1% of the US population.

  • For the Year 1981
    1981 January 18, 1981 From January 14-17th I was in Ryazan! I was sent there to be elected delegate to the XXVI Congress of the CPSU. It was a surprise which Smolsky (deputy head of the CC Organizational Department) delivered to me back when I was in “Sosny” (a sanatorium near Moscow). He congratulated me profusely. But I suspect this is a “buyoff” not to elect me to the Auditing Commission anymore. I was very anxious about this trip. Zagladin, who went to Oryol for the same reason, talked about his trip excitedly and gave me pointers: he made two speeches and was welcomed with open arms. Then on behalf of the Central Committee he conducted the Plenum of the new oblast committee – to elect the first secretary. And what a farewell dinner they threw for him, how the entire new bureau came to see him off at the train station. I made excuses… and then joked about Zagladin’s ability to be at the top everywhere, and everywhere to look organic in the front row. “That’s not for me,” I decided. Only one thing bothered me – the speech (both Smolsky and his boss Petrovichev said “it’s a must”). What would I say to these people? About the international situation? How bad Reagan and the Poles are? About the International Communist Movement? It might be curious for them to hear, but the speech isn’t supposed to be a lecture. It is a conference, where people will talk about how they feed people like me! I spent all of last Sunday on the speech.

  • A Guide to the (Visible) Radical Left in the United States
    An Incomplete Guide to the Radical Left in the United States Communist Party USA/Young Communist League The CPUSA formed in 1922 out of two splinters from the original Socialist Party, USA: the Communist Party of America (CPA) and the Communist Labor Party (CLP). V. I. Lenin’s Communist (Third) International (“Comintern”) forced these two groups to merge in order to become the official American section of the Comintern. In 1928, following Leon Trotsky’s expulsion from the Soviet CP, his supporters in the US were similarly expelled; subsequently, they formed the US branch of the Trotskyist movement, while the CPUSA remained loyal to Soviet premier Josef Stalin, as well as all those who succeeded him. CPUSA members thus denied the totalitarian nature of Stalin’s regime. In the 1930s, the CPUSA opposed American intervention against the Nazis (mainly because of the Hitler- Stalin nonaggression pact) and ran campaigns against Franklin Roosevelt. By 1941, when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, the CPUSA called for the US to enter the war and took part in a “Popular Front” with the Democrats, avidly supporting FDR. After the war, the Popular Front came to an end and the CP entered the presidential campaign of former Vice-President Henry Wallace on the Progressive Party ticket. During the 1950s, the McCarthy hearings and such laws as the Smith Act led to the indictment of many Communist leaders. The CP also suffered from Nikita Khrushchev’s admission in 1956 of the many crimes of Stalin’s dictatorship (responsible for the deaths of millions). Following the split between Khrushchev and Chinese Communist chairman Mao Zedong (the “Sino-Soviet split”), the CPUSA sided with Russia, causing a number of pro-China members to leave the party and form the Progressive Labor Party, which still exists.

  • The Ideological Impetus and Struggle in Praxis for Multiracial Radical
    The Ideological Impetus and Struggle in Praxis for Multiracial Radical Alliances in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1967-1980 by Aaron Byungjoo Bae A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Matthew Garcia, Chair Karen J. Leong Matthew Delmont ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of multiracial alliances among internationalist radical activists in the San Francisco Bay Area from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Using the approaches of social movement history and intellectual history, I critically assess the ideological motivations radicals held for building alliances and the difficulties they encountered with their subsequent coalitional work in four areas of coalescence—the antiwar movement, political prisoner solidarity, higher education, and electoral politics. Radical activists sought to dismantle the systemic racism (as well as economic exploitation, patriarchy, and the intersections of these oppressions) that structured U.S. society, through the creation of broad-based movements with likeminded organizations. The activists in this study also held an orientation toward internationalist solidarity, linking the structural oppressions against which they struggled in the United States to the Vietnam War and other U.S. militaristic interventions overseas and viewing these entanglements as interconnected forces that exploited the masses around the world. Scholarly and popular interpretations of Sixties radical movements have traditionally characterized them as narrowly-focused and divisive. In contrast, my research highlights the persistent desire among Bay Area radicals to form alliances across these decades, which I argue demonstrates the importance of collaborative organizing within these activist networks.
