As long as the oppressed class – in our case, therefore, the proletariat – is not ripe for its self-liberation, so long will it, in its majority, recognise the existing order of society as the only possible one and remain politically the tail of the capitalist class, its extreme left wing. But in the measure in which it matures towards its self-emancipation, in the same measure it constitutes itself as its own party and votes for its own representatives, not those of the capitalists.

  • Formation of the Proletarian Party of America, 1913-1923
    Formation of the Proletarian Party of America, 1913-1923: Part 1: John Keracherʼs Proletarian University and the Establishment of the Communist Party of America by Tim Davenport With his wife and daughter vacationing in lush Berrien County on the the shimmering shores of Lake Michigan, Socialist journalist J. Louis Engdahl found himself forced to spend his time elsewhere engaged in a less pleasurable pursuit — earning a living. The long-anticipated 1919 Emergency National Convention of the Socialist Party of America had finally drawn to a close, with Engdahl reporting on the scene on behalf of The Eye Opener, the official Socialist Party weekly which he edited.1 The weather in Chicago, Engdahl observed, had seemed as though it was “actually blistering.” The political rhetoric hurled to and fro during the week by erstwhile comrades no doubt seemed equally scalding. Over the span of a few short days, the Socialist Party had become three organizations, Engdahl noted in a letter to his wife Pauline. The number of political parties making their appeal to the American proletariat had nearly doubled. "The working class now has five parties to divide its forces," he grimly remarked, ticking off the ranks: the Socialist Party, the Socialist Labor Party, the Communist Party, the Communist Labor Party, and the "plain, everyday" Labor Party. "That ought to be enough for the time being," he continued, adding earnestly that "in fact it certainly ought to be the maximum number possible."2 Engdahl optimistically declared that the ensuing months would usher in a new “period of unity,” during which the forces of American radicalism would reunite under the banner of the Socialist Party.3 Louis Engdahl was gravely mistaken, however.

  • Understanding the Dictatorship of the Proletariat: the Canadian Left and the Moment of Socialist Possibility in 1919 Peter Campbell
    article Understanding the Dictatorship of the Proletariat: The Canadian Left and the Moment of Socialist Possibility in 1919 Peter Campbell In the aftermath of World War I the dictatorship of the proletariat became a key principle feeding the labour revolt of 1919.1 In the late winter and spring of that year the concept became influential on the Canadian left, leading to its adoption at the convention of the British Columbia Federation of Labor in Calgary, Alberta on 10–12 March 1919, and the Western Labor Conference held 13–15 March 1919. Eighty-seven delegates at the BC Fed convention, and more than 230 delegates at the Western Labor Conference, failed to register a single protest against adopting Resolution #5, which advocated accepting the principle of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Endorsing the dictatorship of the proletariat was part of radical western labour’s revolt against eastern Canadian dominance of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress (tlcc), which had come to a head at the annual convention of the tlcc in Quebec City in September 1918. 2 Far from being a minor storyline in a much bigger plot, the endorsement of the dictatorship of the proletariat at the March 1919 western labour confer- ences advances our understanding of one of the central debates in Canadian labour history. The dictatorship of the proletariat is one of the “international conjunctures” that Gregory S. Kealey identifies as demonstrating “that 1919 1. Gregory S. Kealey, “1919: The Canadian Labour Revolt,”Labour/Le Travail, 13 (Spring 1984), 11–44. 2. At the convention, a caucus of western delegates decided to hold a meeting prior to the next convention of the tlcc, setting in motion the process that culminated in Calgary, Alberta in March 1919.
