AFTER the Party successfully exposed the
A true face and meaning of the policies of
the renegade Lovestone group to the broad
working masses under the theological influence
of the Communist Party; after the Party ex-
posed the counter-revoutionar character Of
these policies; after these renegades were COM
pletely repudiated and condemned by the nom
partisan workers in the left wing mass organ
izations and after the non-partisan workers
refused to tolerate in their ranks active agents
of American imperialism, whose main task is
to overthrow the leadership of the Communist
Party and the Conintern and attack the So
Wet Union, the rohegades issued the call ''for
proletarian unity in mass organization
This demagogic move on the part of Love-
stone is only part of the general policy of
discredited, unprincipled faction, practiced by
all renegadea in their struggle against the revo-
lutionary leadership of the working class. The
unprincipledness and corruption of this group
of leaders without an army is being best ex-
posed by the fact that while in the January /,
1880 issue of the Revolutionary Age" Love-
stone and Lifshitz call "for proletaran unity
in mass organizations" in the December l,
1920 issue they called for the overthrow of
the Communist Party and the Communist lead
ership in these mass organizations.
THE winning of the Party means: The
mobilization of the Party membership and
the revolutionary workers for the overthrow
of the new leadership and it's destructive
political and inner-Party course. This is
our objective and perspective
Lovestone, however, was not the first rene
gade to raise this question. 1t was raised by
Lore when he was expelled from the Party. 1t
was raised by Cannon, when at certain
LID. convention the workers could not UNDER
stand how one can support the struggle of
the American working class and at the same
time attack the Soviet Union and therefore
refused to seat the delegate from the Trotzky
group. The slogan "for -proletaran unity in
mass organizations" was again raised by Can
non, in order to cover up his struggle against
real unity of the working class in it's struggle
against capitalism under leadership of the
Communist Party in the case of John Watt,
former president of Nhe National Miners Union
who negotiated with the Lewis machine
vicously attacking the left wing trade unions
and the Communist Party. This experience
shows that the course of all renegades and
enemies of the working class is the same.
The call of the renegades "for proletarian
unity in mass organizations in practice re-
solves itself into unity of the renegades with
social democracy against the Communist Par
ty. The renegades for some time already be-
