description: If a revolutionist in the United States tried to dictate program and tactics to those in another country, writes Joseph Hansen, then pioneer American communist James P. Cannon would have done "his utmost to squelch such presumption on the grounds that it did not evince an internationalist attitude but just the contrary." The first duty of a proletarian internationalist in the US was "to become absorbed in the problems of the American revolution."
