Our Struggle Against Lueism Must Be Concrete :

and-a-Half International tendencies
that the Jewish section of our party
had to struggle with during recent
years. And it is in the struggle to
outlive and discard these traditions
and prejudices that our Jewish section
has grown into its maturity and in
fiuence upon the masses.
The history Of our Jewish section
since 1919 and particularly since the
formation of the Workers Party waE
in the truest sense of the word a his
tory Of struggle, theological and or
ganizational, against Loreism. 1t be-
gan when the Communist Information

was an intense and bitter struggle
which finally resulted in the almost
complete victory of the adherents of
the Communist International who

of the now famous 81 points. This
struggle lasted for quite a while. The
result was the same, the complete
triumph of the strategy OF the c. I.
incorporated in those 81 points.
The struggle against social-demo-
cratic traditions in our Jewish sec
ton then began to develop over the
question Of the role Of the under.
ground party. The social-democratic
and Two-and-a-Half international ten
denotes in the Jewish section assumed
the initiative and became the leaders
in "a life and death struggle for the
abolition of the underground party.
The main feature OF their struggle
was opposition on principle to the un

illegal work. The result of this strug

The Loreistic Wing in the Jewish
Federation.
TT is perhaps best to study Loreism
i on the development and present
activities of the Jewish section OF
our party. The reasons for that are
manifold. First, because the Jewish
section OF our party. altho small in
numbers comparatively speaking (on-
ly about 1000 msmbersl, yet it is a
very militant and active section in
the party. 1t is connected organically
and intimately with the broad mass
movements of the Jewish speaking
working masses of the country and is
exerting considerable influence upon
the everyday struggles of these work
ers. 1t is for this reason that the
opportunistic tendencies within the
Jewish section have quite naturally
made themselves manifest concretely
in the political, tactical, and organiza-
tional policies Of our party among the
Jewish workers. ~
Secondly, the present Jewish sec
ton of our party is result Of a
merger Of two formerly distinct groups
"a merger which took place when
the Workers Party was formed. One
Of these groups was the Jewish sec
ton Of the Communist Party of Amer
lea, affiliated with the c. l. since 1919,
the other group was the section of the
Jewish socialist federation which split
from the S. p. after its Detroit con-
vention. 1t was this second group
(Which became part of our party at
the formation of the Workers Partly
that brought with it not only a con
siderable membership, not only much
experience in organization work, not
only number Of influential mass
leaders among the Jewish workers,
but also a heavy burden Of social
democratic traditions and prejudices.

OF the Communist International. The
underground party was liuuidated be-
cause conditions had made it possible
for the Communist Party to function
openly. But, at the same time, it was
deeply impressed upon the minds of
our membership, and particularly
upon the minds of many of those who
were still deeply submerged in social
democratic traditions that there is
nothing more fundamental in the or
ganization principles of the C. l. than
the combination of legal with illegal
work.
The 6olshevization of the Jewish
Section.
IN the process OF this struggle be-
= tween the Communists and the CEN
trists in the Jewish Federation. four
important things happened. Let us
enumerate them.
1. Large numbers Of the proletarian
and basically revolutionary elements
OF the so-called original Jewish social
ist federation group freed themselves
OF their social-democratic traditions
and prejudices and became assimilat-
ed with the Communist group in the
Jewish section.
2. Several very influential and can
able comrades, formerly leaders of the
Jewish socialist federation, broke
completely with their former centrist
attitude in the party and identified
themselves fully and wholeheartedIy
with the Communist International and
with the body of Communists in the
Party. To realize what that meant
for the Jewish section and for the
party as a whole. 1t WIN suftice to
mention the fact that among those
Comrades we find the names Of such
men as Olgin and Yuditch.
3. While assimilating and identify
ing with itself the best proIetarian
elements and the best leadership OF

for example. the establishment and
maintenance of the DAILY WORKER
would hardly have been possible with
out the loyal support and generous
sacrifice OF the Finnish Comrades.
These facts are 80 well known as to
need no special mention.
Comrade Askau allows himself to
present even these facts in the wrong
way. In some Of his language he cre-
ates the impression of an attempt to
arouse among the Finnish comrades d
Federation patriotism as against
Party patriotism, and to set them
against the Party on nationalistic
grounds. The sharp criticism which
the party directs against such nom
Communistic policies as those put up
by Comrade Askeli are twisted around
by him and made to appear as attacks
against the Finnish Federation and
against the Finnish comrades as such.
The Finnish Communists are bound
to repulse such methods.
Any attempt to make a breach be-
tween the Party and the Communist
International and to lay the basis for
a split must be fought against by
every Communist. The whole party
must mobilize itself for quick and res
olute action to defeat such designs,
which, if allowed to gain Roadway,
would endanger all the achievements
of the past six wears
The efforts of Comrade Askeli to
put himself up as the spokesman OF
the Finnish members of the Party
and to identify them with his program
does not by any means signify that
this is really the case. We are abso-
lutely confident that the overwhelm-
ing majority of the members of the
Finnish Federation viii reject the pro-
gram of Askeli without hesitation and
in such decisive manner that Askeli
and those disposed to support him
will be compelled to abandon their
plans. The Bureau of the Finnish
Federation has set an example to the
whole membership by its resolute and
determined stand in support of the
Party. The interests of Communism
demand that the Finnish branches of
the Party follow the example of the
Bureau and repudiate the policies of
Comrade Askeli and those who share
his views. We are confident this will
be done.

who, at the decisive moment, re-
NAMED in the ranks of the Socialist
Party In such a situation, one who
has a clear Communist position al
ways unites with the Communists,
even tho he disagrees with their tao
tics. This is fundamental principle
We do not mean by these remarks
to bring up the past in such way as
to cast any reflection on the comrades
now in our ranks who took the wrong
position in the historical days when
the revolutionary vanguard in Amer
lea was first organizing itself into a
party. We know very well that many
who remained in the Socialist Party
at the time of the split and who later
joined our ranks, have done and are
doing good work for Communism. The
error of the past has been made good
many times over and now has only
historical significance. 1t is quite I'M
necessary to refer to it again, and we
would be among the last to do so. But
when the history of the Party is con-
sidered, one should relate the past
events in their true perspective, Com
rade Askeh fails to do this.
The Federation Split Of 1914.
We take issue with another part of
Comrade Askeli's ''History'-the part
dealing with the split in the Finnish
Federation in 1914. Moreover, we are
of the opinion that the narrow atti-
tude manifested by Comrade Askeli
may explain to certain degree, the
reason we have not had greater sue
cess in healing the effects of that
split and in winning over to Com
munism the Finnish workers who have
fallen under the influence of anarcho-
syndicalism.
The platform Of the syndicaIist
group in 1914 was politically incor-
rect, but so was the platform of the
socialists. A true explanation of the
emergence of syndicalism and anarcho-
syndicalism as a phenomenon in the
labor movement is impossible unless
one understands and clearly states
that pre-war syndicalism represented
an extreme reaction against reform
list, parliamentary socialism. Reform
list socialism is the father OF syndicai=
ism This is the way to explain the
split of 1914 and to show to the syndi-
calist workers that the Communist
Party and the Communist conception
of political action have nothing in
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-08-08

TT is always good to begin with a.
definition of LOreism. 1t is also
necessary to show the historic back
ground of Loreism, how it originated
and developed in our party. But one
must not stop at that. To expose Lore
ism effectively, to prove to our. mem
bership conclusively the opportunistic
nature of Loreism, one must bring
forword practical examples of its
manifestations in recent party life
One must be able to show. by the
everyday manifestations of Loreism,
its right wing opportunistic nature.
This is what mean by proposing that
our struggle against Loreism must
be concrete.
A Few Samples Of Loreism.
THERE are at the disposal of the
party several significant samples
of Loreism that are of very recent
date. For instance, Loreism in the
trades. This. is a manifestation of
Loreism, very much marked, very de-
finite. which the G. e. c. was quite
successful in combating. There is a
definite manifestation Of Loreism in
certain sections of our Finnish Fed
Grafton. We refer here particularly to
the statements of the Finnish branch
CT Superior, Wis. The c. e. c. and the
Bureau of the Finnish Federation have
taken up very energetically the
theological struggle against this mani
festation of Loreism. But there is
also a distinct Loreistic grouping in
another section Of the party which thus
far has received very little attention
in the general party press. We refer
here to the very definite, very mill
tant. and aggressive Loreistic ten

common with the Socialist Party and
the socialist conception Of Political
action against which they made a JUS
tihab1e revolt, which led them to ex-
treme and unsound doctrines
The Communist Party and its Fin
nIsh section ought to represent. at
least to a certain extent, a union OF
the best proletarian elements from the
Socialist Party and the Byndicalist
movement. The Communist Interna-
tional was OF this opinion when It
invited the I. w. w. as well as the
left wing of the Socialist Party to
send delegates to its first Congress.
The Communist International declared
many times that the progress of the
Communist Parties would be mea-
sured in large degree, by their sue
cess in winning over the syndicalist
workers to the platform of Commun-
ism.
Many of the best revolutionary syn
dicalists responded to the Communist
international and are in its ranks to-
day. They are fully entitled to be
placed on an equal footing with the
revolutionary workers who came from
the Socialist Party, without recrimina-
tions with regard to the past being
brought up against them Comrade
Askeli has no right to give such a
one-sided account of~the old fight and
to ridicule and attack them in such
bureaucratic and intolerant manner
AnarchO-syndacalism still finds too
much support among the Finnish
workers in America. 1t is one of the
most urgent tasks of the Finnish sec
ton of our Party to win over the
Finnish syndicalist workers to the
platform of Communism and to draw
the best of them into the Party. This
task can be carried out successfully
only on the condition that we adopt
the correct Communist policy on this
question and reject the policy of Com
rade Askeli.

national scale, working independ-
emily under the theological leadership
Of the Workers Party" would tend. in
our opinion to separate still more the
federations from the Party and re-
duce the control Of the Party over
them to a fiction.
FaetionaIism.
There exists in the Party a senti-
ment against factionalism and fac
tional groupings. Comrade Askeli ap-
pears to be attempting to play upon
this sentiment and to exploit it for
his own factional purpose. The de-
cision of the Comintern demands the
liquidation Of factionalism and calls
for the unity of the Party on the basis
of the political platform Of the Com
rnunist international. Comrade Askeli
would make it impossible to accom-
plish this result. Under cover of ac-
ceptance of the first half of this pro-
vision, his article reads like an at
tempt to prevent the unifcation of
the Party and to create new faction
of his own on non-Communist plat
form The members Of the Finnish
Federation who are against faction
aIism must be on their guard and not
allow anyone to maneuver them into
a faction against the Party and the
Comintern.
History"
We would like to find some part
of Comrade Askelis platform which
we could agree but this is impossible.
The platform is wrong from start to
finish. Even the History" which Com
rade Askeli recites is presented in a
false light. He attempts to throw as
pensions upon the glorious past of
our Party and to take credit to him
self for remaining in the Socialist
Party after the split 1t is quite true
that the left wing made tactical
error in allowing the reactionary lead
ers of the Socialist Party to force
the split too quickly. And it can
also be admitted that the first pro-
grams of our Party contained some
Ieftist mistakes. But in spite of all,
the fundamental line of division at
the time of the split, which completely
over-shadowed all minor, tactical ques-
tions, was between revolutionary Com
munists and reformist social-demo-
Gratis; and it is no credit to anyone
