cialist party. The socialist party
continues to support him in his be-
trayal of the interests of the Negro
workers to the capitalists and lynch
ers.
In the South, the socialist party
refuses to admit Negroes into it's
ranks and holds meetings at which
the practices of Negro segregation
are strictly enforced.
Only the Working Class Can
Abolish Lynching.
The brutal and atrocious treat
ment of the Negro masses, of which
lynching, -blooded and horrible,
is an expression, is characteristic
of United States imperialism which
suppresses with bayonet and gun
the peoples of Haiti, Latin America
and the Philippines and brushes with
murderous cruelty every attempt of
the colonial and semi-colonial peo
pies, to free themselves from the OPP
preston and exploitation of their
imperialist masters.
Only the victorious party of the
workers can abolish lynching. Only
a workers and farmers government
can overthrow the whole vile system
of lynching and exploitation. 1t
was the revolutionary Communist
Party which abolished lynching and
pogroms in Russia. 1t will be the
revolutionary Workers (Communist)
Party of America that will abolish
lynching in America in the same
way. The Workers (Communist)
Party stands forth as the champion
of the oppressed Negro masses
Twenty-four Negro delegates sat in
the National Nominating Conven-
ton of the Workers Party, partici-
pated on all important committees
and helped to draft a program of
action for the oppressed masses of
America, black and white. Only the
Workers Party supports the Negro
masses in their struggle against the
system of lynching and race oppres-
sion. Only this party unites black
and white workers in militant strug-
gle against the system of imperialist
oppression, of which lynching is an
outgrowth. Only this party cham
pions the Negro masses in their
right of self-defense and only this
party fights with them against mob
violence and terrorism.
The Workers Party Fights the
Lynching System.
The Communist Party considers it
as it's historic duty to unite all
workers regardless of their color.
against the common enemy, against
the master class. The Negro race
must understand that capitalism
means racial oppression, and COM
munism means social equality.
The following are the demands of
the Workers (Communist) Party
for which it will fight with all its
vigor and determination. 1t calls
upon the workers and poor farmers.
