a farmer-Iabor party was quite a sim
pie matter.
Our immediate practical experience
amounted to this. Our farmer-labor
party united front was at its very
best parliamentary unity The I'LL
nois labor party was organized while
the old farmer-labor party Fitzpatrick
group was still in existence. There
could be little difference between the
two as long as the farmer-labor We
neer had to be maintained. The rank
and file workers could discern no diff
ference, except that the Illinois labor
party had been branded Communist
and we appeared as the splitters of
the labor movement who had to have
our own little labor party the same as
the Fitzpatrick group. The old farm
er-labor party was discredited. The
Illinois labor party never succeeded
in rallying the masses of workers and
farmers; it did not give our party
connection with the wide masses. The

Discussion of Our Party's Immediate Tasks

nois labor party alive for the period
Of its duration was the Workers
Party; 1t paid the bills. The sym
pathetic elements took part because
of the Workers Party and could Just
as easily have been rallied for the
struggle directly under our own ban
ner.
The Illinois labor party seemed to
fit the description of the thing the
minority proposes to rear, the left
block radical farmer-labor party" and
yet the short experience was enough
to demonstrate that such party could
never give class political leadership
or fight for the class interests of the
workers, as also being proposed by
the minority. Such leadership can
be furnished only by a centralized,
disciplined party, based upon individ-
ual membership, united ideoIogically
1 for a common goal--a Communist
Party. The Illinois labor party like
all other such parties would have been
shattered at the first pressure of a
real struggle. It could not even with
stand the pressure from the appear
ance of LaFollette on the stage. 1t
disappeared. Today it is non-existent,
while the Workers (Communistl Party
lives and grows stronger.
A few days after our party had de-
cided to enter the presidential cleo
ton campaign under its own banner,
! the Cook county branch of the Illi-
nois labor party held conference. 1t
registered the fact that LaFollette
had announced his candidacy and
that the national committee Of the
national farmer-labor party (organ-
lied at St. Paul. Minn.) had with
drawn it's candidates. Our party mem
bers, who came there as delegates,
had finally come into their own. No
longer were they compelled to pro-
pose farmer-labor party solution.
They could now make a Communist
criticism of the LaFollette movement
and also propose a Communist solu-
tion--the Communist candidates and
the Communist program.
An appeal for farmer-labor party
at this juncture would have been a
dead slogan. 1t remained dead dur
ing the election campaign in spite of
our efforts to revive it. Nothing has
happened since which could revive
it, except that our minority comrades
are set upon it. To the working
masses it is dead. But" say the mi
nority comrades, "the class struggle
continues and will become ever more
intense. surely, and that is Just one
more reason why the Workers (Com-
munist) Party should consciously
strive to gain the leadership of the
proletariat in these struggles, direct
ing them towards real struggle for
their class-interests.

XkIHERE are the minority members
WV Of the G. E. G. leading their
followers with their confused the
cries? We find an Illuminating ex-
ample in the article of Comrade Karl
Reeve, printed in the Dec. 4, issue of
the DAILY WORKER. Let US quote a
few of its gems:
"The G. e. G. majority statement
would lead us to believe that we
must have faith in the Workers
Party only on the industrial field"
And again:
For the C. q. G. majority thesis
breaches no effort to win the
leadership of these misguided work.
ers and poor farmers thru the united
front on the political field" And in
conclusion:
1.-THE majority emphasizes the unit
ed front from below We must have a
united front to combat child labor
exploitation, the Dawes PLAN for ma
tionalization of mines, ETC., we must
have a special c. K. G. subcommittee
to restate the old ways and to fer
ret out new ways Of applying the unit
ed front But we must desert the
united front on the political field
The most Illuminating thing about
Reeves article is his utter misconcep-
ton Of political action and what COM
prises political demands. We find
him stating that attempts at forming
the united front on such issues as
child labor, the Dawes plan and the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-12-17
OPPORTUNISTIC CONCEPTION
OF POLITICAL ACTION

naturalization of mines" is limiting
sur united front tactics only to the
Industrial field. Anyone with the
slightest conception of Marxism or
the elementary concepts of Commun-
ism knows that the greatest inter
national political issue facing the
world proletariat today is the attempt
of American capitalism to enslave the
German working class thru the Dawes
plan.
Need we go further to show the ut
ter bankruptcy and misunderstanding
of the minority thesis when such par
ticularly obvious political issues as
those the G. q. @. majority thesis puts
forward as concrete issues upon which
we can form the united front, are
termed "deserting the united front on
the political field?
The G. E. G. majority thesis states
very definitely that our united front
efforts must be from below and it
does not behoove Comrade Reeve to
sheer at this statement as this is the
basis of the united front as expound-
ed and understood by the Comintern.
This is only another indication OF
the idea Of the minority that the far
mer-labor party slogan is the only
form of the united front on the poll
teal field. This theory leads directly
to mere parliamentary conception
Of political action, very opportun-
istic and dangerous tendency, that
wants to limit our conception Of po-
litical action to farmer-labor party
or such a slogan.
