Numerically opposed, and have
nothing in common with Party in
terests. The very elementary and
basic principle upon which is based
Communist organization and without
which it ceases TO function as a Com
munist organization was completely
forgotten by me; one Of the basic
principles which distinguishes the
Communist Parties from social DEM
ocracy and all OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
dination of the minority to the ma
jority; submission Of the individual
or the lower unit to the higher body.
I was completely obsessed with fac
tionalism; this obscured my vision
and made absolutely impossible a
study Of the situation effectively. In
short, my attitude and reaction to
the Address was that OF petty bour-
geois.
My unlimited support Of the rene
gades and their views placed me out
side the ranks of the Party. I COM
pletely now endorse my expulsion and
consider it fully justified. Tolerance
of Right opportunist views such as
those held by me were certainly in
compatible with membership in a
Communist Party, and would be tam
tamount to liquidation Of the. Com
munist Party organizationally and
theoretically.
The political basis determining the
course of the renegade Lovestone
group is the Theory of Exceptional
ism: over estimation of the strength
Of U. S. imperialism and under-es-
timation Of the process of radicali-
cation of the masses. This premise
explains all their opportunist conclu-
sions and Communist and anti
working class actions. Starting out
as the banner bearers" of the Sixth
World Congress, the Lovestone rene
gades travelled with an accelerated
tempo into the swamp Of oppor-
tunism and counter-revolution. 1t is
no accident, as has been repeatedly
pointed out by the Party, that the
Lovestoneites will become an integral
part of the Music movement. This
is an established fact The answer
of all class conscious and revolution
airy workers is to rally around the
Communist Party in a merciless
struggle against these "Chloroform
peddlers" and enemies Of the work
ing class.
During my stay in the Soviet Union
was guided by the views of the
Right Opposition in the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union. At that
time the G. p S. U. had undertaken
a campaign, as part of the Five Year
Plan, and to guarantee the success
| of it, to liquidate the Kulaks as a
class. The Party met with great re-
sistance from the Kulaks. This had
its echo in the Party through the
formation Of the organized Right
Wing Opposition under, the leader
ship of Bucharin, Tomsky and Ry-
kew. The political basis for my sup
port of their views lay in my fear
that this campaign would create a
breach between the city and the vii
4 lage. Subsequent events have fully
shown the falseneSs of such a view
and the absolute correctness of the
position of the Russian Party Cen
trail Committee, both in its agrarian
and industrial policy. The Rights
have been shorn of their support and
liquidated organizationally and theo-
retically. The G. P. S. U. is going
forward in spite of all obstacles and
oppositions to the successful achieve
ment Of the Five Year Plan in four
years. Nor will the combined I'M
principled bloc of the left" and the
Right retard this progress.
The present world situation has
confirmed the, correctness of the
analyses and perspectives formulated
by the Sixth World Congress and the
Tenth Plenum. nview of this ]
have completely and unequivocally
broken with the Lovestone renegades
organizationally and ideologically. ]
repudiate and condemn statements
issued by me in Moscow. Especially
do condemn my conduct in propa-
gandiZing all comrades with whom
came in contact last summer, and
viciously struggling against the Party,
of which I had been member since
its inception. In seyering my con-
nections with the Lovestone rene
gades I call upon all workers, who
may yet be misled, to repudiate these
enemies of the Soviet Union and
the working class and join with the
only Party capable of leading the
American workers to the final over
throw of the bourgeoisie.
On this basis / appeal to the Cen
trail Control Commission for read
mission, understanding fully the re-
sponsibilities of a Party member.
