This was made crystal clear by Johnson’s “peace” offer. Stripped of its double-speak verbiage, the Johnson “offer” boiled down to this. The U.S. says it w ill pull out six months after it is satisfied the following conditions have been met: A ll forces of the “other side” have been withdrawn from the south. All north Vietnamese aid to the guerrilla fighters has been halted. A ll “ violence” in the south has subsided. The south Viet­ namese dictatorship agrees that the U.S. should leave. In short, the U.S. w ill consider leaving only after the com­ plete capitulation or crushing of the liberation movement. Such aims can only mean further escalation of the war. Arena of U.S. War W ill Be Extended Nor does Washington’s imperialist aims stop with south Viet­ nam. In addition to the daily bombings of north Vietnam, huge troops concentrations are being set up in Thailand. Troops have been moved into the demilitarized zone separating north and south Vietnam. After the U.S. elections, we can expect Washing­ ton to escalate the war against north Vietnam — possibly through invasion, systematic bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, bombing of the dikes protecting the rice paddies of the Tonkin plain, or all of these.

    Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies University of Washington 2013 Committee: Charles Williams Michael Allen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Interdisciplinary Arts and Science ©Copyright 2013 Sean Panzer University of Washington Abstract Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer Assistant Professor Dr. Charles Williams Interdisciplinary Arts and Science This thesis explores how the Republican Party (US) and the Labour Party (UK) were successful in becoming the rare examples of third parties that displaced a major party to become one of the major parties in a two-party system. In exploring this question the thesis first examines the political science ‘rules of the game’ that make it extremely difficult for third parties, followed by a historical/sociological comparative analysis of case studies of the Republican and Labour Parties to determine if there are similarities in their rise to power. The comparative analysis shows that under extreme conditions, a fundamental sociological and demographic change may occur which supports the addressing of issues that the major parties will be unable to adequately incorporate for fear of upsetting their core base supporters. It is under this context that a third party could ultimately be successful in rising to major party status. i Table of Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………………..…….... 1 Chapter I: Political Science Perspectives of Limitations on Third Parties ....….…… 7 Chapter II: Republican Party ……….……………………………………..……….… 30 Chapter III: Labour Party (UK) …………………………………………...…………. 63 Chapter IV: Conclusion …………………………………………………..…..………. 95 Bibliography …………………………………………………………………………. 102 1 Introduction As electoral results continued to roll in for the contentious 2000 presidential election, one of the presidential candidates took the opportunity to reflect upon the close nature of the results.

  • "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.

  • Overview of Marxism, Black Liberation, and Black Working-Class Organic Intellectuals
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKING-CLASS ORGANIC INTELLECTUALS IN THE CANADIAN BLACK LEFT TRADITION: HISTORICAL ROOTS AND CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSIONS, FUTURE DIRECTIONS by Christopher Harris A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Chris Harris 2011 THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKING-CLASS ORGANIC INTELLECTUALS IN THE CANADIAN BLACK LEFT TRADITION: HISTORICAL ROOTS AND CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSIONS, FUTURE DIRECTIONS “Doctor” of Education (2011) Christopher Harris Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract This thesis explores the revolutionary adult education learning dimensions in a Canadian Black anti-racist organization, which continues to be under-represented in the Canadian Adult Education literature on social movement learning. This case study draws on detailed reflection based on my own personal experience as a leader and member of the Black Action Defense Committee (BADC). The analysis demonstrates the limitations to the application of the Gramscian approach to radical adult education in the non-profit sector, I will refer to as the Non-Profit Industrial Complex (NPIC) drawing on recent research by INCITE Women of Colour! (2007). This study fills important gaps in the new fields of studies on the NPIC and its role in the cooptation of dissent, by offering the first Canadian study of a radical Black anti-racist organization currently experiencing this. This study fills an important gap in the social movement and adult education literature related to the legacy of Canadian Black Communism specifically on the Canadian left.

Overview: Challenging the Time Warp Forty-one years ago, in May of 1972 in the city of St. Petersburg, Florida, we began the extraordinary journey that is being celebrated with the Sixth Congress of the African People’s Socialist Party. Fittingly, this journey began during the process of building for the first African Liberation Day mobilization in Washington, D.C. held on May 27 of that year. At various times during our history we have declared the significance of building the African People’s Socialist Party. At no time has the existence of our Party been more significant and urgently needed than it is today. Not only is building the Party a crucial task of our organization and our members, it is also the fundamental task of the African Revolution at this critical historical juncture. Our journey was begun by a mere handful of us at a time when U.S. imperialism was gloating about its victory over many of the forces of liberation within current U.S.

  • Organized for Democracy? Left Challenges Inside the Democratic Party
    ORGANIZED FOR DEMOCRACY? LEFT CHALLENGES INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ADAM HILTON ocialists make their own history, but not under conditions they choose. SAmerican socialists were starkly reminded of how the nightmarish weight of the past continues to haunt the present during the 2016 presidential nomination contest between independent, democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders and former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. On the one hand, Sanders’ decision to forego a third party campaign and run as a Democrat provided him with a national audience, an opportunity to introduce democratic socialism to a new generation, and a mass-based fundraising vehicle that collected millions in small donations. On the other hand, running as a Democrat against the standard bearer of the party establishment seemed almost to guarantee that he would lose. And while he came closer than many expected, the outcome only appeared to confirm that when it comes to the Democratic Party, the left simply cannot win. Unlike all other advanced capitalist democracies, the United States never produced a labour-based political party. As labour and social democratic parties emerged elsewhere during the late nineteenth century, American trade unionists debated whether or not to launch an independent party or join an existing coalition, ultimately opting for a nonpartisan strategy of ‘pure and simple unionism’ for fear of violent repression, partisan conflict in the union rank and file, and the off-putting sectarianism of many American socialists.1
