quered and destroyed A few cN-
cerpts from the communist party and
communist international NANTES los
will make these statements evident
Thus on page 10 OF the manifesto
and program OF the communist party
of America Is the following:
'"The conquest OF the power Of the
state is accomplished by the mass
power Of the proletariat. Political
mass strikes are a vital factor In de-
veloping this mass power. preparing
the working class for conquest Of
capitalism"
And again on page II OF the same
document:
Mass, action is Industrial in its
origin but It acquires political char
acter as It develops fuller forms.
Mass action, In the form Of general
political strikes and demonstrations.
unites the energy and forces of the
proletarai. brings proletarian mass
pressure upon the burgeois state"
And further on, on page Il, the
same document.
STRIKES OF protest develop into
general political strikes and then into
revolutionary mass action for the
conquest Of the power OF the state.
Mass action becomes political in pur-
pose while extra parliamentary in
fJ~'n' II Is enGaily a process Of rev
olution and the revolution itself In
operation"
Then on page l6:
Open and Secret Combat Favored.
THE communist party shall partic-
ipate in mass strikes, not only to
achieve the immediate purpose of the
strike, but to develop the revolu-
tionary implications OF the mass
strike"
And then, making the purpose stili
more clear we have the following
from page 30 Of the manifesto OF the
communist international, with which
the communist party Of America Is
affiliated and whose manifesto is ac-
cepted as part Of the policy of tho
party:
"The revolutionary era compels
the proletariat to make use OF the
means of battle. which will concen-
trate its entire energies, namely mass
action, with its logical resultant, di-
rect conflict with the governmental
machinery in open combat. All other
methods, such ~ revolutionary use
of burgeois parliamentarism will be
Of only secondary significance"
From these quotations and numer-
Gus statements in the menifesuD not
here quoted IT is apparent that the
communist party Of America Is not
merely a political party seeking con
troll Of affairs OF state hut "A rrvolu-
tionary party. seeking to conquer and
destroy the state i'm open combat
And the only conclusion is that the
communist party of America is an
orga anization that believes in teaches
and advocates the overthrow by force
| or violence OF the government Of tho
United States.
