  • Social Bonds, Sexual Politics, and Political Community on the U.S. Left, 1920S-1940S' Kathleen A
    Social Bonds, Sexual Politics, and Political Community on the U.S. Left, 1920s-1940s' Kathleen A. Brown and Elizabeth Faue William Armistead Nelson Collier, a sometime anarchist and poet, self- professed free lover and political revolutionary, inhabited a world on the "lunatic fringe" of the American Left. Between the years 1908 and 1948, he traversed the legitimate and illegitimate boundaries of American radicalism. After escaping commitment to an asylum, Collier lived in several cooperative colonies - Upton Sinclair's Helicon Hall, the Single Tax Colony in Fairhope, Alabama, and April Farm in Pennsylvania. He married (three times legally) andor had sexual relationships with a number of radical women, and traveled the United States and Europe as the Johnny Appleseed of Non-Monogamy. After years of dabbling in anarchism and communism, Collier came to understand himself as a radical individualist. He sought social justice for the proletariat more in the realm of spiritual and sexual life than in material struggle.* Bearded, crude, abrupt and fractious, Collier was hardly the model of twentieth century American radicalism. His lover, Francoise Delisle, later wrote of him, "The most smarting discovery .. was that he was only a dilettante, who remained on the outskirts of the left wing movement, an idler and loafer, flirting with it, in search of amorous affairs, and contributing nothing of value, not even a hard day's work."3 Most historians of the 20th century Left would share Delisle's disdain. Seeking to change society by changing the intimate relations on which it was built, Collier was a compatriot, they would argue, not of William Z.

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.

  • (Communist) Party and the Cloakmakers' Strike of 1926
    SERVANTS OF TWO MASTERS: THE DILEMMA OF GRASSROOTS COMMUNIST 1 LEADERS IN THE CLOAKMAKERS’ STRIKE OF 1926. On September 18, 1926 Charles Zimmerman, Joseph Boruchowitz, and Rose Wortis, Communist leaders within the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, met at party headquarters at 114 East 14th Street with Benjamin Gitlow, William Weinstone, and Joseph Zack, representatives of the Needle Trades Committee, that organ of the Workers’ (Communist) Party that dealt with union affairs. They met to get Party approval for a favorable settlement the union leaders had negotiated—against all odds and after eleven weeks of a hard fought strike— with leading employers in the women’s garment industry. All those at the meeting hoped that this success would be merely a step toward Communist control of one of the nation’s largest trade unions. A long discussion of “what is more dangerous to true Leninism, a left wing or a right wing deviation” preceded consideration of the issues at hand, but then they got down to business, the union leaders made their case and the party leaders gave the proposed settlement their stamp of approval. Final approval was now required from the union “leading fraction” of the Workers’ Party, the 150-200 Communist or Communist-allied shop chairmen from the ILGWU strike halls who were simultaneously having their own meeting on another floor of the same building. This was a formality, a rubber stamp really, since as historian Melech Epstein, a party member at the time and present at the event, noted, “It was a foregone conclusion that the leading fraction would accept a decision handed down by the party.” Together with the leaders of the Workers’ Party, the strike leaders went to meet this group.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Unlike communist parties elsewhere in Asia, the Partido Komunista sa Pilipinas (PKP) was constituted almost entirely by acti­ vists from the working class. Radical intellectuals, professionals and other middle class elements were conspicuously absent. More parti­ cularly, the PKP was rooted In the Manila labour movement and, to a lesser extent, in the peasant movement of Central Luzon. This study explores these origins and then examines the character, outlook and performance of the Party in the first three years of its existence (1930-33). Socialist ideas began to circulate during the early 1900s, but were not given durable organisational expression until 1922, when a Workers’ Party was formed. Led by cadres from the country's principal labour federation, the Congreso Obrero, this party aligned its policies increasingly with those of the Comintern.
