The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-05-07

this way the Communists help bet
ter their conditions, make the
workers conscious of their position
in society and to understand the
nature of the struggle and the need
for overthrowing this rotten system
Also because such struggles guar
antee not only partial and small
immediate victories, but lead to
bigger struggles which finally lead
to the overthrow Of capitalism as
the only way out of misery and
exploitation.
The article should also point out
why and how the Party, as the van
guard Of the proletariat, brings into
the union and economic struggles
class (politicaD consciousness. There
can be no hard-and-fast separation
of immediate demands and revolu-
ton, which is the guarantee of
finally solving all the problems Of
the proletariat. This becomes clearer
as the class struggle sharpens and
the doom of capitalism is fastened.
Each militant struggle around an
immediate demand becomes a rev.
olutionary spark Similarly there
must be no mechanical division Of
Party and Union activities.
It is true that the writer makes a
passing reference to the Parry as an
organization "of revolutionary
workers who through their daily
struggles against the boss"
teach that there are two classes"
But this is inadequate. Merely to
know and to teach that there are
two classes" does not yet make a
Bolshevik Party. Social-Democrats
will subscribe to the theory of ex-
istence of two classes. The absence
OF any mention of the Sccial-Demo-
cratic Parties as the main social
prop of capitalism in this article
is very serious shortening.

appear. A letter from girl in the
upholstery department reads: we
girls work very hard, but our wages
are much less than the mems (and
they don't make very much). Most
