The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-10-26
For v.-President

the capitalist class, and doing away with ex-
plotation of man by man, wiping out class
distinctions and making way for a free So
ciety-this is held dear to the heart of every
conscious member of the working class. 1t is
safe to say that not one single working man
or woman would be so foolish as to vote for
the socialist party if there were not in his
mind at least some hazy idea that the social
lst' party has some favorable relationship to
socialism. How disiusioned such worker will
be when he learns that the only relationship
the so-called socialist" party has to social
ism is the relationship of bitter enmty! Yet
every such worker must face this disilluson-
ment. For instance:
Is it possible that party that participated
in the breaking of the coal strike, has any,
thing in common with the struggle for So
cialism?
Is it possible that party that helped the
reactionary A. F. of L. bureaucracy to sell
out the New Bedford textile strike has any
thing in common with the socialism of the
revolutionary fighter, Karl Marx?
Is it possible that party that supports the
most reactionary A. F. of L. bureaucracy
(Which openly supports American i'm
periaism and openly breaks strikes because
these bureaucrats are in favor of capitalism
lis it possible for such a socialist" party to
have anything in common with socialism?
Is it possible that a party that attacks the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, preach
ing hatred and contempt for it (even though
pretending to favor recognition" of it) and
sowing suspicion of "red Imperialism against
of off bo TT,,io of Led
Soviet Republics, while themselves publicly
swearing they would defend American
democracy in a war against the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics is it possible for
such party to have anything in common
with the socialism of the revolutionary Marx?
Is it possible that party that fights
against the Communist International (the
worldwide revolutionary working class party
that founded the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics)-is it possible that party that
fights against the workers International can
have anything in common with socialism?
Is it possible that party that opposes the
establishment of the rule of the working
class (preferring the present system of capt.
talist rule as more democratic'') can have
anything in common with socialism?
The socialist party of the Reverend Nor
man Thomas is an anti-sociaIist party. 1t is
third party of capitalism. 1t is not work.
ing class party, but party of the petty bust
ness class which plays the game of the Wall
Street ruling class.
Those workers who want to cast their
ballots in this election in such a way as to
advance the cause of socialism, can do so in
only one way-by voting for the revolu-
tionary working class party of Marx, Engels
and Lenin, the Workers (Communist) Party
1t is the panty of the class struggle, the party
that fights for the workers on the picket line,
the party which engages in the capitalist
democratic elections only in order to
mobilize and train the workers for the strug-
gle for power. Socialism can be established
only when the working class becomes the
ruling class. The Workers (Communist)
Party is the only party that fights to make
the working class the ruling class
The only way worker can cast a vote for
socialism is by voting the ticket of the
Workers (Communist) Party
