The C0mlmteyw Address to our Party

the rapid and extensive industrializa
ton of the South. 1t was therefore
the major duty of the Party leader
ship to investigate this Industrial
cation process to find in it the best
forms and slogans of struggle
against capitalism at this moment.
Instead of this we mentioned the
class struggle element in this in
naturalization merely incidentally
and concentrated on the mere capt.
talist facts of the industrialization
to prove how this industrialization
develops rapidly the contradiction of
the whole. system of American capi-
talism. Recognition of the funda-
mental wrongness of this approach
demands of us realization that our
concentration upon this one manifes-
tation of American capitalism
blinded us to the tremendous counter
acting elements of proletarian strug-
gle, which in turn, will negate the
Iretarding influences of the crisis of
American capitalism.
Only because of this fundamen-
tally wrong approach on our part
could we come to the conclusion
that the rehabilitation of the ex-
plotted and oppressed, evident in al
capitalist and in colonial and semi
colonial countries, is not accompanied
by a similar process of radicaliza-
ton in the American working class.
This wrong approach was, in the
last analysis, manifestation of the
influence of the theory of exception
alism which is spread to the Amer
lean working class, the combat
ting of which is our great task.
This manifestation of the influ-
ence of petty bourgeois American
exceptionalism upon our Party with
the consequently inevitable petty
bourgeois opportunist errors flowing
from it is not the only one but it
suffices to prove the point.
The most dangerous outgrowth of
this influence of the petty bourgeois
idea of American exceptionalism is
the formulation that it's application
is in full harmony with the Sixth
World Congress Theses, while the
combating Of it embodies an aban-
donment of the Sixth World Con-
gress Theses. The exceptionalists
maintain that their conceptions are
an inherent part of the analysis of
the Sixth World Congress Theses
and, therefore, the struggle against
them is struggle for the revision
of the Sixth World Congress. In
this formulation the petty bourgeois
influences do no longer express
themselves merely in a lack of re-
sistance to the theory Of exception
alism, but is the beginning of a
definite line which combats the class
struggle program of the Sixth Con-
gress under the guise of defending
it against revisionists.

create in the heads of the American
working class the conception of the
immunity Of American capitalism
from the laws of capitalist develop
ment in the rest of the world. These
laws lead to increased exploitation
of the workers, to constantly growing
political oppression of. them and to
a consequent development of class
consciousness and sharpening of the
class struggle. Some American
workers were mostly willing to ac-
cept this effect of capitalism for
/ Europe; but for America they ac-
ceptcd the point of view of the petty
bourgeois biologists and theoreti-
clans of American capitalism who
presented American capitalism as a
bcnefactor and not as an oppressor
OF the working class.
! One of the greatest problems of
the revolutionary movement in the
United States is the eradication out
of the heads of American workers
OF this theology of American excep-
ti3hclism.
I In the theory that the present
status Of American capitalism and
American capitalist development is
ibasically different from that of world
capitalism and demands fundamen-
tally different tactics, our Party for
got it's duty to combat the theory OF
excepticnalism, but instead fell vic
4 tim to it. 1t gave way to petty
1 bourgeois influences while it's duty
was to battle against them.
Marxism-Leninism does of course
! not deny particular and peculiar
conditions of the class struggle which
differ from one country to the
other. 1t is precisely the duty OF
the sections of our world Party te
analyzc these peculiarities anc
these particular conditions of theil
own country to adapt the applica.
ton of the line and policy Of the
world Party to these particular con.
ditions; but instead of finding out
how to apply, we tried to find out
whether to apply the Sixth Worlt
theses in America, all contrary as
serticns Notwithstanding.
This tendency found it's strongest
expression in the top heaviness Of
our Central Committee Convention
Theses. The purpose of any revo
lutionist in the gathering Of facts
concerning capitalist development il
to draw conclusions from these facts
for the best methods Of struggle, foI
the best policies and the best tao
tics. The major Importance of an.
Communist theses, therefore, lies il
the revolutionary conclusions draw
from the capitalist facts. Our Cen
trail Committee theses however, hat
a very heavy super-structure Of CAPT
talist facts and is extremely weak OF
its class struggle conclusions.
| For purposes Of formulating cor
rect policy it was Of prime neccs
sity to draw the fullest class strug
gle conclusions. for instance, iron

gro1s resolutions contend that the
present stage of capitalist economy
and capitalist relationship to the
forces of the proletariat on the one
hand, and between the forces of
the different national bourgeoisie
on the other, is undergoing a
constant sharpening which manifests
itself in the form of an immediate
war danger and in the form of a
sharpening of the class struggle ae-
companied by an outspoken tendency
OF rehabilitation of the p-olct2riat.
The intcrdepandence of this develop
nent, driven onward by the inherent
contradictions of capitali1n, wGa
tacitly denied either in the form of
accepting the war danger and re-
jccting ba3ic tendency OF RADICAL
zatio1 CT the working class in Anaeri-
ca, or by effectively denying the
war danger through an almost ex-
elusive emphasis of a false concep-
ton Of rehabilitation of the workers
These false contentious were justi-
fled with reference to the rather
different conditions under which
American imperialism is operating
from, these under which European
capitalism exists.
All of these conceptions grew out
of the petty bourgeois theory OF
American exceptionalism which is
spread also throughout the American
working class. This belief of a
fundamental difference OF American
capitalism from the whole system OF
world capitalism grew out of the
peculiar conditions under which
American capitalism developed anc
which permitted it to show certain
quantitative differences. These diff.
ference manifested themselves
primarily in a comparative higher
standard of living Of the American
working class and in an earli0l
chance of the American worker te
fall victim to the illusions. of bour
geolS democracy.
The economic background for this
popularity of the development Of
American capitalism is the virgin
character of the American continent
for the conquest by capitalist so

needed to be overcome by the CAPT

III. American Exceptionalis,a.
The fountain head of the right
danger, of petty bourgeois oppor-
sunism and right errors, is the in
fluence of petty bourgeois theology
upon the working class and upon the
theories and tactics of the revolu
tionary Party. The only source Of
resistance to these influences is a
purely revolutionary proletarian
class approach to all problems, an
approach that must be fortified by
clear Marxist feminist Theoretical,
conception. 1t is clear that when a
Iroletarian class approach to the
problems of the workingclass and
the Party is replaced by a fractional
approach, that then the flooa-gate Of
the influences of the petty bourgeois
theology of the masses of the work
ers are opened, and this theology,
without encountering serious OBJ
stacles, engulfs the revolutionary
policies and tactics of the Party.

made possible by the political myopia

CHICAGO, Oct. 30. - Wheat
opened firmly on the Board of Trade
today, making a slight gain on the
better tone in the stock markets.
Liverpool was still lower than ex-
pected, but showed better tone on
inquiries from the continent.
At the opening wheat was Is to 4
cent higher, corn was Is cent lower
to Is cent higher, oats was 4 to Is
cent higher. Provisions opened

Northwest millers are taking large
amounts of wheat to fill the large
orders they have been receiving for
flour. Reports indicate an increase
of almost 300 per cent in their bust
ness. Southwestern millerS are also
running over capacity. Liverpool
opened lower than expected, but ad-
vanced slowly during the morning.
While trade news has been having
but little effect in the face of the
stock market weakness, there has
been considerable buying on sharp
declines. A feeling exists that the
foreign markets are interested in
United States wheat.
Corn is at present a weather mar

the movement considerably. The
