ton OF Labor the communist party
rropagandizes industrial uniontsn
and Industrial union organization en-

tons. Industrial unionlsm is not sim

constitute the basis for the Industrial
administration Of the communist com
munity.
THE communist party recognizes that
the American Federation of Labor
Ia reactionary and is bulwark OF
capitalism"
The COMMUNIST manifesto follows this
declaration with avowfng the method
OF boring fror, within" urging their
members to organize councils of work
ers within the industrial unions for
th% purpose of working out communist
aims They also advocate as ma
jor task OF the communist party ag-
itation for the construction Of gem
eral Industrial union organization en-
hracing the I. w. W.. w. I. !. u. In
dependent and secession unions and
tha- Ennrcantzed workers on tho basis
of the revolutionary class struggle.
The communist manifesto declares that
the world Is on the verge OF a new
era that Europe is in revolt, the
masses Of Asia are stirring uneasily.
that capitalism is In collapse. and
that communism is the hope OF the
workers to end misery and oppression.
It says: ''The call TO action has come,
The workers must answer the call.
The communist party OF America is
the party of the working classes. The
communist party proposes to end cap
italism and organize workers indus
trial republic. The workers must con-
troll industry and the products OF in
dustry, the communist party insists
that the problems Of the American
worker ares identical with the prom
lens OF thu workers of The world"
It's ultimate aim is summed up in
the following declaration: The OBJ
1ectiye, Is The conquest by the prole-
tariat OF the power Of the states. Gam
munism does not propose to capture
the bourgeaise parliamentary state but
to conquer and destroy 1t.
AS long as the bourEeoise state
prevails the capitalist class can battle
the will Of the proletariat"
