Discipline, therefore, acceptance of
| the directions and the decisions of
the Comintern, are a fundamental
principle of our international Party.
Without accepting this principle one
cannot be member. Rejection of
this principle means the rejection
of the 81 conditions of membership
/ in the Comintern, adopted at the
Second World Congress in 1920.
The submission of the individual
members or of the parties to the CT
/ is not the outgrowth of merely
formal relationship between the
component parts and the whole. 1t
is the outgrowth rather of very
important political relationship and
political consideration. We submit
to International discipline because
we consider that the revolutionary
integrity, the revolutionary energy,
the revolutionary experience, the rev.
dictionary knowledge of the whole
: International is greater than, and
superior to the integrity, experience,
knowledge, etc. of any individual
member or Party of the Comintern.
We submit therefore, not out of for
NAL considerations but because we
/ consider the whole Of the Commu-
mist International higher authority
on questions of theory and practice
than any individual member or sec
ton of the International so that
the authority of the individual men,
Der or section must give way to the
authority of the whole International.
After we have argued the matter
out with the Comintern and after
the argument is settled by definite
decision, we not only accept the de-
cision as matter of discipline but
VIC accept the correctness of the de-
cision as matter of recognizing the
international and theological super
iority of the Comintern over our
selves. The formal acceptance of

The C0wintern Address TO orr Party

the decision must therefore in all
cases be transformed into a political
acceptance. The formal acceptance
of a CT decision must be completed
with a conscious analysis of the de-
cision to which we submit in order
to penetrate and absorb the political
reasons of the Comintern for max
ing the decision. Only thus can the
political unity of the Comintern and
the International uniformity of its
struggle against capitalism be pre4
served.
1t is manifestly impossible to win
the Party and the working class for
the political line of our International
Party if we ourselves have reserva-
tons as to the correctness of this
line and if we ourselves submit to
the line only as a matter of formal
discipline. 1t is manifestly impos-
sible to mobilize the Party for CT
decision or to win the working class
for the CT line if our thunderous
assertion of the sacredness of the
principle Of international leadership
and of the indispensibility of Inter
national guidance have an either ar
ticulate or inarticulate undertone to
the effect that this leadership is
wrong and that this guidance is in
,,ro o+;oo iooorrao+
My own acceptance of the Com
intern decision and the very formal
character of this acceptance, there
fore, confronted me with the duty
to change my point of view on the
issues involved and to adopt that
point of view to the one of our In
ternational Party. 1t confronted me
with the necessity of analyzing seri-
ously all of the arguments and
reasons given by the Comintern for
its action in order to learn and to
understand the viewpoint of the
Comintern, and to be able to apply
it correctly. This same problem faces

every comrade who up to this mo-
ment has accepted the CT decision
only formally.
H.-Factional Corruption.
For six years our Party has gone
through a continuous and most
severe fractional struggle. The mo-
mentum of this struggle survived
political issues which caused and fed
it. The fractional divisions within
the Party, finally, developed into
theoretical system. fractional consi-
derations, at first only seriously in
terfering with general political and
class struggle considerations, finally
supplanted them. Not only was the
inner life of the Party completely
dominated by this fractional phyl-
osophy which eliminated in the
theory that the interest of the Party
and of the faction are identical, not
only was every organizational and
political step influenced and finally
decided by primarily fractional consi-
derations but the necessarily petty
maneuvering of the factions against
each other within the Party sup
planted every other form of strategy
and maneuver even in the relation
ship of the Party towards the work
ing class and towards the CT. In
other words, even the working
class and the CT were treated as
factions and approached from a fac
tional point of view.
This state of affairs is plastically
illustrated by the reactions of our
Party and its leadership to the criti-
cism of the CT. When the CT made
critical observations concerning our
policies we made no effort to analyze
what is wrong with us but we un-
hesitatingly ask the question what
is wrong with the CT. Decisions of
the CT were not analysed politically
but purely factionally. A criticism
by the CT of mistakes and errors of
one group were interpreted as fac
tional support of the other group,
and instead of Analysing why the
CT criticized "our group" we asked
the question why did the CT "join
the other group"
The theory of identity of the in
terests of the group with the in
terests Of the Party could not but
lead to the monstrous conception
that the CTS determination to smash
Sour group" is determination to
smash the Party. 1t led to the
equally monstrous conclusion that
the CTS determination to end "our
group leadership" must needs be a
determination to establish the lead
ership of "the other group"
Factionalism has thus created
with our Party sort of political
myopia. We could not see straight
any more. Political considerations
were replaced by factional consider
ations. The only guard against
serious political errors: a Marxist
feminist revolutionary political ap-
proach to all questions and problems,
was replaced by a purely factional
approach. Thus factionalism be-
came in itself one Of the worst mani
festations of the right danger, be-
came in itself manifestation of OPP
portunism and in turn became a
breeder of politically right mistakes.
These right errors remained unde-
tected because Of the fractional inflic-
ton of political myopia and thus
they had a fair chance to develop
into a right opportunist line.

By MAX BEDACHT

The following series of articles
represents extracts from speeches
delivered by Comrade Bedacht, as
representative of the Central Com
mittee, to Functionaries' meetings
in New York, Chicago, Detroit,
Cleveland and Pittsburgh. This
series is devoted to some main
political questions and may be
used as an outline by agitprop
workers in the enlightenment cam
paign. But special care must be
taken in localizing and concretiz-
ing the self-criticism, as well as
the immediate political tasks in
the light of the Comintern Ad-
dress Questions which were dealt
with by Comrade Bedacht in his
previous articles).
I.-Our international Party and
Its Discipline.
For the comrades whose theology
and political conceptions have in the
past run in the direction which is
criticized and condemned in the Ad-
dress of the Communist Information
al to our Party, the question of the
acceptance of the CT Address pre-
sents itself first of all as the prob
lem of discipline. 1t is, therefore,
indispensable that correct premise
be established for the consideration
of the CT Address through correct
approach to the problem of Party
and Comintern discipline.
The international character of the
class struggle on the one hand,
manifesting itself also in common
action, campaigns and understand
ings of the capitalist world in its
struggle against the workers, and,
on the other hand, the close inter-
dependence of the problems and the
fate of capitalism in one country
with those of capitalism of any or
all other countries necessitate the
organization of the proletarian class
struggle on a plan of international
organizational unity and of unity
Of the major tactics. To meet this
necessary requirement the advance
guard of the revolutionary working
class of the world, the Communists,
are organized in an international
Party, the Communist international.
The International through it's con-
crosses and it's international execu-
tive committee lays down the COM
mon plan of action for the Interna-
tional Party; it decides upon the
general line to be followed by all
of it's component parts. These COM
ponent parts in turn, the Communist
Parties of the different countries,
insure the adaptation of the general
line and tactics of the international
Party to the peculiar and particular
conditions of the class struggle in
their respective countries. The Exc
cutive Committee of the Communist
international and its sub committees
watch and guide this adaptation by
the different parties to the general
line of the Comintern, correcting err
rors here, enlivening initiative there,
criticizing, correcting, condemning,
if necessary, and guiding.
This function of our International
Party is possible only with the uni
versal acceptance within it of the
principle of subordination of the
conceptions of any individual mem
Der or any section of the Interna-
tional to the decisions of the whole.
