To oppose impeachment from the standpoint of social progress is not to defend Clinton, it is to defeat fascism. There is at present no organized effort to carry out these tasks of class struggle. The organized expression of proletarian revolutionary struggle in the United States has fallen to its lowest level in more than a century. All have fallen prone to revisionism and opportunism to such an extent that in the face of this great crisis they are entirely useless. That the social system should be in such crisis while the historically conscious element has sunk to such a low level of activity is not a coincidence.
Any perceptive person is aware of the extraordinarily contradictory condition of U.S. society today.
Too many have chosen the latter. Had it been able to sustain its work on a genuine Communist basis it would have increased its influence easily tenfold, and been on the verge of gaining a true mass audience. The absence of any proletarian revolutionary organization able to confront the Clinton crisis only the more emphasizes the need for a new and correct Communist Party in the United States. Only such a Party can fully and consistently serve the interests of the working class and the oppressed. That is why, despite all difficulties and betrayals, the eventual creation of such a Party is certain.
