sives and the struggles Of the work
ers compel them to be. Today the
labor party slogan is dead. There Is
no possibility of maneuvers in that
direction. And If ever again there
are, let's hope we engage in them
without soft peddling our principles
and pushing to the right, but by fol
lwoing the method of the united front
tactic to the letter.
The minority position is creating
funny angles in the minds Of the mem
bers Of the party. 1t makes principle
of riding the inertia Of a past &C
tivity. If the labor party maneuveI
was good yesterday, it is good today
they say. Dialictics has nothing to dc
with this kind of reasoning. 1t is
also creating a viewpoint that we must
have at our elbow at all times, a
farmer-labor party as an ever present
side-kick to our party, in which ali
sympathizers will find temporary
heaven. Expose the LaFollette party
where the remnants of the farmer-la-
Dor party are now at home and tell
them that is not a good place to live,
and so get recruits for the farmer.
labor party and then expose the lat
ter by informing these same elements
that they are even not yet at home
to get members for our party. This
seems to be the Ideally mechanical,
but impossible united front concep.
ton of the minority. The viewpoint
that seems present in certain quarters
that farmer-labor party should be
had to afford legal protection for our
membership must also be deprecated.
AS one originally opposed to the
LaFollette alliance, l feel that the
majority position is a turn to the
left. 1t is not sectarian, but steps in
the direction of a realization of the
actual possibilities of any united front
we may make, and a willingness to
more accurately evaluate the economic
conditions and the resultant reaction
of the masses of workers and ex-
plotted farmers to these conditions. 1t
means to me that we are at last GO
ing to give the Workers Party its
rightful place in our maneuvers to
emphasize it as the molly militant revo-
lutionary party, to give it backbone
so that in the future we will not again
commit the errors Of the past

POLITICAL ROMANCING MUST

nothing but a third debacle and a
further loss Of the confidence Of work
ers' organizations. Communist polit
ical activity, our efforts to move the
masses against the state, certainly
does not end at the point that the
parliamentary united front becomes
impossible. To me the labor party
slogan is impossible today. We can
now approach the workers with other
slogans which surely will also cul-
inmate in political action, or we are
not a Communist Party.
We must at least realize that the
masses of workers are not as polit-
ically advanced as we thought they
we're. They do not seem to be over
anxious even to get into and remain
in the LaFollette party. The tempo,
the decline of American capitalism is
not at all abreast of Peppers imagin-
alton. The hoped for political reaction
did not materialize. Not only did a
mass labor party not materialize. We
did not even get cleft class bloc"
for our sweat and money. The de-
generation of the "LaFollette revolu-
ton until today even the railroad

convention, attests to this backward
ness of labor.

Here was a political manifestation

BY MAX LERNER

EVERYONE will remember that in
- the days after our split with the
socialist party, our movement had a
tendency towards what Lenin well
termed the Infantile Sickness Of Left
Communism. At that time our reaction
towards parliamentarism in view of
our experience in the S. P, was the
other extreme. True, we admitted
in words the necessity of parliament
tary work for educational purposes
side by side with the other political
work of the party. But in action we
felt very uncomfortable with par
liamentary action. Today we seem to
have the reverse situation. Despite
the fact that we had long ago arrived
at the conception that political ac-
ton was not merely parliamentary &C
ton, that parliamentary action was
only secondary phase of political
action, yet our minority at present
holds that parliamentary action is
political action, or, in so many words,
that if we give up the farmer-labor
party slogan, we give up political ac-
ton. This conception exhibits a dis
tinct state of mind, state of mind
that tends to consider the parliament
tary field the whole field and the other
phases of the political struggle only
secondary, whereas the Marxist con-
ception is that the parliamentary
work Of our movement is secondary.
The above state of mind is we'll ex-
emplified by specific instance in the
case Of one of the local luminaries Of
the minority. In attacking the C. E. C..
thesis, resolution presented by this
comrade speaks of amalgamation be-
ing the work of the T.. U. e. L., i'm
plying of course that this was simply
question Of shelving the matter to a
department of the party and was not
broad party concern. Now, it does
not need argument on my part to show
that the question of amalgamation is
not only a matter for the T. U. e. l..
20 carry out as a department Of the
party, but is of broad concern to every
one in the party, for the party as
whole to agitate, not alone as an
economic slogan but as a political
slogan.
This question has already been thoro-
ly taken up by others. What wish to
point out is the tendency. very dis
tinct and dangerous one to the right,
to make little Of one of our most i'm
portant of political slogans which hap
pens to be also an economic slogan.
And yet so much noise is being made
about parliamentary action which we
must repeat again is one of our secon-
dairy activities. Must we tell the min
ority that the political struggle OF the
workers in this country will not be
fought on the parliamentary field
alone? / don't know. It looks as
II our minority which is now drifting
so rapidly to the right, will have to
take back good deal OF what they
have said in the discussion to con-
vince US that they do not have to be
told this by the party membership in
most definite terms.
AT the last congress OF the G. /. Il
was brought out that the slogan of
workers and farmers government
which the G. !. had adopted a. . more
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-12-26
THE MINORITY WANTS US TO BE A SECT

popular term for the dictatorship of
the proletariat had been misused in
various countries; that it had been
weakened and the real meaning dis
torted. This was pointed out as very
dangerous tendency and it was de-
cided that the Communist Parties
must use this slogan for what it
meant the dictatorship of the probe
tariat and not some distortion.
What happened to this most import
ant slogan in this country during our
many adventures in trying to build
"left-wing" farmer-labor parties, as adj
vocated by the minority, is an example
of what happened to other of our slog-
ans and what will happen to the party.
We used or rather misused this slogan
of workers and farmers government
for 'our" farmer-labor parties. We
gave them this slogan and with it was
carried along the mildest o. concep-
tons, that of a parliamentary COM
bination. l challenge any one of the
minority to prove as to whether, any
where, when we used this slogan as
slogans of the farmer-labor parties
whether it was understood otherwise.
We were willing to distort our most
important slogan, slogan adopted for
simplification Of one of our most basic
conceptions, in order that we might
give it to our F. L. P's.
If we ourselves are to create left-wing
F. L. P. organizations along the lines
of logic of the minority we will in,
evitably be led into such debasemenr
of all our other slogans as in the case
Of this one. This will be done whether
we like it or not. 1t is the logic of
such situations as have already been
pointed out by Comrade Foster.
We had case in point in the build
ing up of a lone child here in the
state Of Ohio of which shall speak
In another contribution to this dis
cussion. We have cases in the other
and national F L. P's, the programs of
which we had TO write and the reform
list conceptions of which we even
went as far as to defend Tin at least
one case during the July 3rd conven-
tom. On the other hand, we give the
F. L. P's our slogans distorted; on
the other hand we give them our i'm
mediate demands based on a reform
list program What, pray, is left for
the party except to be truly a sect and
for the farmer-labor party we build as
"a Second-and-a-Half International par
" to eventually bury our fieshless
skeleton? Is our fate to be similar to
that OF the s. p. which gave up the
ghost for the good" OF the LaFollette
movement II appears to me that If we
are allowed to drift as the minority
would have us that is where we may
land. feel on the other hand that
the majority in our party has the cor
rect Marxist and feminist conception
Of the broad political work of a Com
munist Party and the necessary flex-
ibility to carry It out.

of MARKHAM economics was developing
towards a mass scale 1t was not I'M
til the March 1S, C. E. G. sessions and
it was not until after the Foster ma
jority had deferred action on Pep
per's resolution, that Comrade Brow
der proposed propaganda thesis on
unemployment in which he declared:
I'VE are certain that unemployment
on mass scale will face the work
ing class in the near future. That
does not mean that we can say posi-
lively that it will be in the summer
of 1924, or the winter of 1924-5 or
even that it may not hold off until the
summer of 1926"
Judging by the lack of response on
the part of the c. E. c. majority mem
bers to the unemployment campaign
proposals made by the minority mem
mers, one would say that it was Brow
der's economics and not MARKHAM eco
nomics which was the basis of our
failure to achieve results in the I'M
employment campaign today. In
March the Foster majority could not
see the economic slump which assum-
ed an acute character as early as
May.
