Communist Agitation
Among Negroes Planned
Similar methods must be employ ed
1 in dealing with unsklled labor, as
we'll as With agricultural laborcrs and
rural elements generally. Finally,
Communist agitation must be carried
on among the negroes. With regard 60
the rural clements and the negroes
however special methods also are to
be employed. These special methods
for the rural clements arc described
as follows:
"1hc unification OF the agricultural
elements for the purposes of the
revolution Is an extremely important
question, since nearly IS per cent of
the total population of the United
States is rural. 1t is necessary to de
velop a clear and definite program of
action that would be communistic and
revolutionary. The FIRST thing that is
necessary is TO conduct agitation
among the agricultural labo.ers for
the purpose OF awakening their class

groups and preparing them for rcvolu-
i.cNnry acts. AZ the same time separat-
ing them from those farmers who en-
plor labor and eliminating in every
way the ag.arian class war But it Is
Just g. important to segregate the
s.lnller from the larger farmers. to
break up the existing unions OF IA

the organization known as the Non
pertiear League. IN this way we shall
unite the conscious elements for
the revolution, make the small farmers
neutral or possibly even sympathetic,
and prepare the way for overturnng
the power Of the richer farmer ele-

The question Of work among the
negroes is considered more compli-
Gated because Of its race aspect, which
however. also may be utilized for pur-
poses of the rerolution. The instruc-
lions on this question. contained in the
appeal. are az follows:
The negroes arc exploited III a
racial % we'll Is economic way. This
does not change the fact that the
problem with regard to the negroes
is one of the elements of the general
social problem. but it gives different
aspect to this particular question.
ahich must be understood and utilized
Tho negroes are becoming more
revolutionary, they demand social and
political equality. and are organizing
for a struggle against the white
domination, This form Of protest
should be fostered and stimulated, and
negroes should be assisted in their
crmed assistance to attacks on the part
Of white mobs.
But at the same time it is necessary
10 prcyent all attempts on the part Of
negroes To organize an armed uprising.
for that would be signal for counter
revolution and would interfere with
the gesera cause of the liberat ton Of
the negroes, as we'll as of the pro-
leta.iat AZ a whole. The militant feel
ings OF the negroes must find their ex-
preston in the form of a proletarian n
revolution, and in no other form. In
tie North the negroes should be in
c!uded ~ the general labor movement.
In the South. where they are deprived
of all rights, it is necessary to or
ganiSe secret groups of negroes for
purposes of economic struggle, which
are the first stage in the stimulation
of proletarian class consciousness
Everywhere the negro proletarians 5
should be segregated from the negro
bourgeois and must be united with the
rest of the proletariat in the corvic-
tion tina. their race struggle must be
merged with the general revolutionary
struggle Of labor against capital"

regard, the appeal makes the follow
ing general statement:

and economic questions must be utilized
