WHAT is LoREIsM?

A PARTY of action must strip itself
"A for action. In order to be able
to overcome all the numerous obstac-
les in the path of action the party
must cleanse itself of all inner OBJ
stacles to action for one on that
path.
Loreism is such a serious inner OBJ
stacle to action for our party. To
eliminate Loreism is a major task OF
our party at the present time. Our
coming convention must mobilize our
party completely for the accomplish
ment of this task.
What is Loreism? Loreism is an
American variety of opportunism
which manifests itself internationally
in this period of temporary lull in
the world revolution. This opportun-
ism makes it's appearance as Brand
lerism in Germany. as Trotskyism in
Russia as Bubnickism in Czecho-
Slovakia and as Loreism in America
Thus we find that while Loreism is a
specific American product, yet. II is
made of a substance that must sup
ply the opportunists in all Communist
parties with material for their plat
forms.
THE rapid development Of American
4 capitalism in the last decades has
long shutup completely all avenues of
escape from an existence as a wage
slave that existed for energetic
American workers in limited way
in the pioneer days. And the effects
Of the world war upon the economic
structure of America has consolidated

the working class. This consolidation
is gradually, but surely, killing what
ever illusions of chances" may still
exist in the heads of American work
ers and is thus offering the basis OF
the formation of the American work
ers into political entity as a class.
This process represents revolu-
tionary event of first importance. 1t
accelerates the development of con-
seriousness and militancy among the
workers. 1t confronts the conscious
revolutionary section of the workers
with tasks that demand imperatively
to stop talking and philosophizing and
begin action and organizing. Thus,
while in the revolutionary movements
and parties of old all sorts of tend
encies could philosophize about the
labor movement alongside each other
within the same organization this
harmony is no longer possible in
this period of action Action demands
theological unity of the revoiutionists
II is for these reasons that seeming
ly little differences in conception de-
velop in our movement at the present
time into deep going and important
deviatlons. Loreism is such devia-
ton. The more our party develops
into revolutionary party of action,
a Bolsheyist party, the more will the
foreign substances within our party
come to the surface. The tremen-
dous task of our parity will need readi-
ness and ability OF action. Foreign
substances. standing in the way of
such action, either must be speedily
assimilated in the fire of active Boil
shevizatlon and Bolshevist action. or
It must be fnallyEsliminated.

two months ago about the Chinese
situation. In this article Lore de-
clares that the present struggle in
China is a nationalist one, that the
workers fighting under the banner of
nationalism hope to free themselves
from oppression. But that is Utopia,
says Lore. First English, French,
Japanese, etc, Imperialism Is so
strong that the Cihense workers have
no chance of victory. And even If
they would accomplish the impossible
1t would not mean anything because
the foreign exploiter would be replac-
ed by the Chinese exploiter and
things would remain for the Chinese
workers as they are today. The only
way to emancipation for the, Chinese
worker lies in the Communist revolu-
ton. But, so concludes Lore, the
time for that has not yet come
HERE we have opportunism in
"Reinkulture." Here is the log
ical conclusion: A nationalist fight
useless-a Communist fight prema-
ture; therefore why fight No under
standing of the dialectics OF social
struggles which can make and do
make Communist fight out Of ma

invariably cloaked in mantle of
realism This pseudo realism leads
to paralysis and is one of the most
dangerous manifestations of Loreism.
At the same time we find this op-
portunism parade under the tune of
radical phrases. The division OF So
ciety into two classes is a very rigid
one in the eyes of these comrades.
On one side is the proletariat, on the
other the bourgeoisie. This concept
determines, the attitude of these com
rades toward the farmers. The
farmers belong to the bourgeoisie,
ergo they are reactionary enemies of
the proletariat and must be combat
ted. No compromise with them-No
alliance. That all sounds very radi-
cal, but 1t is not. 1T is, in the last
analysis, only another argument
against hated action II is funda-
mentally anti-revoluti0nary because
1t attempts to prevent the revolution

Of revolutionary action they want to

onward in America, the morel the
growing class antagonisms call for
action, the more dangerous becomes

more SO when. he covers up his lack

T OREISM is such a foreign sub
- stance. 1t presents the Ameri-
can variety of vacillating centrism.
Eternal hesitancy before action, yacil-
lation between one road of action and
the other, and when action can no
longer be avoided the invariable
choosing Of the wrong road, are the
outstanding characteristics Of this
tendency.
The attitude of this tendency to-
ward the tasks Of the party are deter
mined by an essentially petty bour-
geois approach. The Communist
Party for them is not an integral and
inseparable part of the working class,
fighting the battles of the workers.
not for them, but with them-but it
is a sort of settlement work with the
task of uplifting. These comrades
reason this way: The emancipation
OF the workers can only be accomp-
lished by the workers themselves.
But the workers need education to ac-
complish IT, The party must convey
this education to them. That is done
with lectures, books, programs, etc.
No action is needed. Action is even
detrimental-becaus the education Of
the workers is not yet completed,
they are not ready for action. and
under these conditions action becomes
adventurism and putchism.
THE total lack of understanding OF
the tasks of Communist Party,
paired with an utter lack OF conf
dence in the abilities of the working
class, itself. always supplies an ex-
cuse to these comrades why certain
thing should not be done at certain
time. And their aversion to action Is

Were they pleased with our pro-

Our speakers brot them to the edge
Of theft seats. They went wild over
our Songs and recitations, and our
comicaf dialogues brot them TO the
point Of crying. We also had a play
called Mick In Siberia which made
the hall ring with applause. Little
