Not only is there an extremely tight relationship between a process and its environment, the environment conditions the development of the process. The qualitative essence of an organization of revolutionaries is its role in the political education of the leaders of the struggle. This is the uniqueness which sets it apart from all other organizations. Although most organizations involved in the fight for social change have an educational aspect, this is not usually the qualitative, defining aspect of its existence. The environment within which an organization of revolutionaries functions is the class struggle.
Every class struggle is a political struggle for power.
The birth of the Labor Party, and its potential to mature into a genuine political expression of the movement against the oppressive conditions of the final stage of capitalism, allows the organization of revolutionaries to begin to further develop and define its role. Thus we see that under the proper conditions the role of revolutionaries becomes to explain that the only solution to the crisis of capitalism is the cooperative, collective ownership of the wealth of society. With the advent of electronics and the forcing of increasing numbers of people outside the productive process, an objective movement for communism has begun to develop. Once the connection between work, wages and buying goods is broken, people are open to the necessity of not only a new system to distribute the goods produced, but the need for the entire reorganization of society around the new forces of production. The mass movement not only puts forward demands which cannot be met under this stage of capitalism, but it also creates its own political party to fight for the power to achieve these demands.
