Shop Nuclei Only Road to Mass Communist Party

that. Our problem is not so much
the reorganization of the branch as
the organization of new nuclei. We
start at the factory, where there
may be four or five Communists who
belong to different branches of the
party. For them to establish a
nucleus, with more members now not
in the party, strengthens our party
structure: and the nucleus, at the
same time, becomes affiliated to
territorial branch at first, which ire
mendously strengthens this branch.
In no case will it hurt the branch
to transfer several comrades to the
factory unit, for that is already be-
ing done in some instances to form
new territorial branches. If there
are foreign speaking members within
the nucleus, they can maintain their
connections with the present fedora
ton branches. They will need LAM
guage propaganda for the shop.
The comrades who express fears
against the nuclei have conceived OF
the idea of setting up separate shop
shop apparatus with no regard to
changing the present structure Of
the party. In the first place, if this
was to be done, we would have to
set up separate apparatus all thru
the party-district, city units,
branches, which would be dual or
ganization and unavoidable. This
sort Of an apparatus would, in the
second place, have to confine itself
only to the problems on the job or,
if it attempted to take up the rdgu-
lar work Of the party, the members
would have to repeat such work
again in their branches, which could
not be effectively done. Again,
workers joining the nucleus, if they
happened to be Italians, Greeks, or
Of other nationalities, would have to
be sent into the branches Of that
particular federation, or might have
to be sent miles away from the fac
tory to some territorial branch. The
new members would think this
very strange procedure, and probably
could not be induced to join our
party under such circumstances.
The nucleus must be an integral
part of the party, or else it is not
nucleus. Shop factions, industrial
branches, ETC., are impossible, and
attempts to establish such forms of
organization would be syndicalistic
and hamper the political activities
of our party.
We must never lose sight of the
fact that our party is a political or
ganization; and that all our CAM
paigns and work should be directed
toward the strengthening of our
party organizationalIy.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-15

should consider the matter of actual
ly forming a shop nucleus. They
should get together and work out a
systematic course of shop agitation
based on the above outline. When
they have succeeded in gaining new
adherents to their ideas, they should
call meeting Of the interested
members within the shop, and form
the shop necleus, which becomes o
regular part of the party.
No Time Wasted.
Not only does this new nucleus
take up the problems of the shop,
but it also acts as the lower party
unit receiving orders and instructions
from higher bodies in carrying out
the campaigns and work Of the party.
It affiliates itself to the nearest ter
ritorial branch, reports regularly to
that branch, receives orders and in
structions from the branch. This has
another effect, it stimulates the in
terest of the territorial branch to
which the shop necleus is affiliated
in the problem of building more shop
units. It makes the branch a live
and driving force in the labor move
ment. Especially has the nucleus
this advantage over the branch: It
can meet at almost a moments notice.
Instead of putting nights into barren
branch meetings, the members have
more time for party work, as they
confine most of their activities d.
rectly on the job where they come
in contact not only with a few work
ers, but thousands whose conditions
and psychology they understand.
In the territory of the shop where
the first nucleus is formed, when one
or more nuclei are created, the nuclei
come together as a nuclei branch;
that is, about three or more nuclei
consolidate themselves into a larger
form of organization, the nuclei
branch which is higher unit of the
party than the nucleus itself. Com
rades who are not in large industry,
as, for instance, building trades
workers, small office workers, who
live in the territory of the nuclei
branch, shall belong to the nucleus
branch, The branch composed Of
nuclei does not usually comprise
members working in the same in
dustry.
The new form of nucleus organi-
zation means that we have our roots
buried among the masses of the
workers and have a continuous,
strongly-linked chain to the highest
unit of the party.
It does not require very vivid
imagination to see what This would
mean to us as Communist organi-
ton. We could rapidly mobilize our
entire party for work and action
and could better meet the immediate
problems of the day. When our
party, for the most part, becomes a
nuclei organization, it becomes
mass organization, and cannot be ex-
terminated by any amount of OPP
preston and persecution by the COM
bined forces of the capitalists, thru
their state or otherwise.
No Harm to declarations.
To those comrades who have rails
ed the bugaboo in their minds that
to start the formation of nuclei will
hamper the declarations and weaken
the branches, the writer would like
to point out that just the opposite
would be fact. In 10 case will we
find in any branch more than one
or two workers who work in the
same shop. In most cases, not even
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-03-15

Now let us consider another thing,
which is essential for a Communist
party. That is, to be able to mobil-
ize our membership in the shortest
possible time for work. In the case
Of any crisis within shop or indus
try, our party could not bring to-
Kether its members (if it had any
within the particular shop, within
less than several weeks time for
the following reasons: The branches
do not meet at the same time each
month; and when they do meet, not
half of the members attend, due, in
part, to other ACTIVITIES within the
party, and many times out Of sheer
