HAIL THE 18th ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY U.S.
Party's History and Struggle
Against Opportunis m
Right and left" Deviations Are Always
Concessions to Opportunism
By EARL BRoWDER

FOURTEEN years of our Party
history is composed of the
struggle against opportunism with
in the workers movement, against
the treacherous policies of the
Socialist Party and the A. F.
of L. bureaucracy of collaboration
with the capitalist class. This
struggle has it's counterpart in the
internal life of our Party in the
struggle against deviations from
the correct MarXist-Leninist line.
These deviations have shown them
selves at all times and in different
forms. They represent the in
fluence of our enemies extending
into our own ranks. Their exist
ence reflects the insufficient edu-
cation of our members and leaders
in the principles of Bolshevism,
their insufficient steeiing in the
fires of struggle.
Deviations are always conces-
sions or surrenders to opportunism.
Sometimes they show themselves
openly as capitulation; sometimes
they mask themselves as ultra
radicalism," as extreme left"
In our battle of today to carry
out the Open Letter, in our
struggles against the NRA and the
"New Deal" we constantly find
these old deviations popping up
again in new dresses. Proposals of

improve our work in the A. F. of
L. But it must, of course be the
work of revolutionary opposition.
1t can not be the type of work
carried on by the Lovestonites
under the leadership of thinner
man in the ILGWU. Zimmerman
has become part and parcel of the
-Whalen- Dubinsky combina-
ton. Our main task still it to
organize the millions of morgan
lied into the TUUL unions. 1t
would be a crime if we at this time
were to slacken our work of build
ing the revolutionary unions. The
A. F. of L. has not succeeded in
recruiting more than 100000
workers, despite the fact that it has
the backing of the government and
a section of the employers. The
TUUL unions at this time can al
ready record that they have re-
cruited nearly $4,000 new mem
bers during this same period. If
we compare the strength of the
A. F. of L. and the TUUL at the
outset of this drive then we see
that there are great possibilities
for the red unions precisely at this
time.
What are the perspectives? 1t
is not yet clear to what extent the
A. F. of L. will be able to enroll
the mass of the workers. 1t is true
that where the red unions make
progress the bosses more and more
call in the A. F. of L. leaders to
organize the workers. But for what
purpose? To organize the workers
to fight for better conditions? Of
course not. To prevent the fight
of the workers for better condi-
tons! And what will the workers
who have joined the A. F. of L.
do? VIII they follow the policies
of the bureaucrats? They will not.
The restrike of the coal miners in
Pennsylvania is good indication.
The strikes everywhere against the
will of the A. F. of L. leaders show
where the wind is blowing. We
know that the existence of red
unions, even though small, has been
a force that has prevented the
employers from driving down the
workers to even lower levels than
they did during the crisis. We
know that the workers need these
unions. They are force far out of
proportion to their numerical
strength. In certain industries, es-
pecially in steel, the new union has
more members and certainly plays
a more important role than the
A. F. of L. union. It is the only
union leading the struggle of the
workers.
Our perspective must be that at
present, while the A. F. of L. is
gaining members and the work in
the A. F. of L. must be better or
ganized, must receive more atten-
ton, must be orientated on the
more decisive strata rather than
limited as until now almost exclu-
sively to the building trades, at
the same time the new unions are
being built and can be built espe-
cially in the basic industries. This
is, at present, the main task of the
revolutionary trade union move
ment, side by side with increasing
its activity in the A. F. of L.
organization.

From Federationism to
A Centralized Party
BY MAX BEDACBT

Communist International, in Novem-
Der, 1928, our international leadership
pressed for the more rapid bolshevi-
zation of the Communist Parties. For
our American Communist Party this
meant, first of all, the reorganization
into a centralized body. 1t meant a
determined struggle against elements
foreign to bolshevist policies, the re-
formist elements which still had hid
ing places in the Federated Party; it
meant an effort to make the Party
one of action and of leadership for
the workers rather than one of mere
propaganda among the workers.
This reorganization was decided
upon at the Fourth Convention of the
Party in 1925.
THE required reorganization was not
L merely the problem of regrouping
the Party membership; it was rather
most important political reorienta-
ton and change in policies.
1t was one of the weaknesses Of the
reorganization of 1925-26 that it was
carried through too much as a mere
regrouping of the Party membership
This mechanical effort could not re-
suit in the full realization of the de-
sired aim: bolshevizatfon.
For this mechanical conception the
major responsibility rested with fac
tionalism within the Party. Although
there were no differences between the
factions on bolshevization, yet the
factional approach to the problem it
self on the part of both existing fac
lions blinded the comrades consider
ably to the real problem and interests
of the Party.
WET in spite of these shortcomings
L the reorganization of our Party in
1925 and 1926 advanced in it's revolu-
! tionary qualities. The most important
conditions were created for the Party
for its becoming revolutionary Party
the life of which was derived from the
issues and from activities in the
American class struggle.
The reorganization abolished fed
eratjonism; it defeated Lore-i5n; it
cleansed itself from the conscious So
cial-dencc-atic elements like Lore
and .Askeh; it made the first bagln-
rings Of establishing basic units Of
the Party in the shops; it made the
Central Committee of the Party its
real leader. In spite of the handbags
Of existing factionalism the Party
started on the road to bolshevization.
The job which confronts the Party
at this moment, in 1898, is the COM
pletion Of the task which the reor-
ganization of 1925-2S began; it is the
completion Of the political task of
bolshevization; it is the breaking
down of the last remnants of the
walls of isolation through sectarian-
ism; it is the carrying out of the tasks
Of the Open Letter; 1T is the roofing
Of the Party in the mills, mines and
factories of the country; it is the
establishment of the Party as the
organizer and leader of the American
workers in their daily struggle for
existence and In their final struggle
for emancipation.

A Good Ear for the
Voice Of the Masses

" The Party m ust
have a good ear for the
voice of the masses, must
pay close attention to their
revolutionary instinct, must
study the actualities of their
struggle, must carefully in
quire whether their policy
is southland must, there
fore, be ready, not only to
teach the masses, but also
to learn from them.
"This means in the second
place, that the Party must
from day to day win the
confidence of the proletar-
ian masses; that by it's pol
icy and by it's activities,
themselves secure the sup
port of the masses, that it
must not order, but per-
suade, helping the masses to
become aware of their own
experience that the Party
policy is right; that it must,
therefore, be the guide, the
leader, the teacher of the
proletariat." Stain
''The attitude of a politi-
cal party towards its errors
is one of the most impor-
tant and surest criterions of
the seriousness of the Par
ty, and of how it fulfills in
practice its obligations to-
wards the laboring masses.
To admit a mistake openly,
to disclose it's reasons, to
analyze til e surroundings
which created it, to study
attentively the means of
correcting this mistake, -
these are the signs of a Sc
rious Party, this means a
performance of its duties.
This means educating and
training the class and con-
sequently the masses.

The Struggle Between the Revolutionists
and the Opportunists Was Irreconcilable

Marx and Engels predicted the
eventual split of the revolutionary
Party from the opportunist elements.
They knew that such break was
inevitable. For the integrity of the
Party, to save the Party from being
turned into an instrument in the
hands of the class-eneny, they DEEM
ed it desirable.
Engels wrote to Bebel in 1882 in
be,7alf Of himself and Marx:
THAT sooner or later it will
come to clash with the bourgeois
elements in the Party, and to
split into a right and left wing,

nRGANIzATIONAILY and politi-
v cally our American Communist Party
carried on its back for some years
after its birth, the eggshells of its
earlier development. Lack of theoreti-
cal clarity had developed in the left
wing of the Socialist Party strong
Experimentation, as against
the pure and simple bourgeois par
liamentarism of Hilquit and Berger.
It had developed opposition to work
within the reformist trade unions as
against the subordination to reform
list trade unionism by Hilquit and
Berger. 1t had developed theory for
federationism as a principle" because
the federation form of organization in
the SIP. had facilitated the organi-
zation and maintenance of the left
wing.
This federationism, before the birth
of our Party a contribution to its
incubation, became an obstacle to its
bolshevization after its birth. If the
Party were to become Party of
revolutionary leadership and action,
the federationism had to be liquid
ated.
The federationism was based on the
maintenance of practically indepen-
dent national language organizations
within our Party. These various fed
erations nd their own conventions;
they elected their own executive COM
mittees and maintained their own
secretaries.
Instead of being directed from the
Party center, the declarations exer-
cized pressure on the center. Instead
of the center being the dominant lead
ership, the component parts of the
center were dominated by the various
federation, in which the members of
the National Executive Committee
held leading positions.
Such lack of Capitalization is al
ways serious obstacle to discipline
and united action; but in this in
stance it was especially harmful The
Language declarations resisted Amcri-
canization of the Party in two re-
spects.
1. They lived in, and their political
life reflected mostly only the develop
ments and struggles in their home
countries. Therefore, the manifesto
lions of the political life of our Party
could appeal little to the American
worker.
2. It's practical aloofness from con-
crete issues Of the class struggle in
America forced our Party into the
position of a propagandist rather than
an agitator for and a leader in work.
ers action.
Aside from thus being the seat OF
leftist sectarianisin, the Federations
naturally also were the playground
of the reformist, of the az Interna-
tionalists Of those days. In the Ger
man Federation Lore held forth with
program of friendship toward S. p
reformism and opposition to Com
munist International bolshevism. Lore
in the German Federation was as
