A person who grasps this fact possesses the key to understanding history, and how to act in it. As Marx and Engels put it, every government is run by the exploiters, against the interest of the exploited. We in PLP have many criticisms of the old communist movement. Our party was born out of the realization, in the late '50s and early '60s, that the Soviet-led Communist Party had by that time, abandoned the struggle for communism, for the working class, and become a party of exploiters of the working class itself.
Communists are internationalists.
The working class owe NO loyalty to any boss, including their own exploiters. Workers must organize internationally, overcoming the ideas of patriotism, nationalism, racism and religion that the capitalists use to divide them from each other and win workers to fight for exploitation. By the mid-1930s, however, the Communist movement had begun to waver in its commitment to fighting the capitalists. This led to the weakening, and finally the abandonment, of working-class internationalism and the fight for communism. PLP is buiing a new international communist movement. .
