of the history and functions of these people
who call themselves Communists" Too many
Of our members still do not understand that
Trotskyism and the Trotskyists are not
branch" of the Communist movement but
rather a police agency OF the capitalist class.
There is also a real leftward movement among
Socialist workers which tries, often confusedly,
to give expression to a revolutionary policy
A symptom of such a movement is the plat
form recently issued by the Revolutionary Pol
icy Committee in preparation for the 8. P.
Convention in June. Some Of its proposals
have been included for action IN the official
agenda adopted for the Convention. It must
be said that the Revolutionary Policy Commit
tee comes much closer to revolutionary forrnu-
lations on central issues than does the Music
"A.WP"; and further that it is much less
vicious in its attacks upon Communism than
is Music or the renegades The composition
Of this '1eft-wing," however, gives little ground
for expecting it to lead the real leftward de-
velopment Of the S. P members toward the
united front with the Communists and even
tually toward unifcation. It is not homogene-
Gus; many Of its members are known for their
vacillating, compromising character In all
probability this effort also will collapse into
another contribution to that left" social-fas-
cism whose object is to disrupt and disperse the
left-ward movement of the workers
All Socialist Parties in their division of labor,
are producing not only '1eft" wings, but also
open fascist groupings. Thus in Japan, the
Socialist Party split with its general secretary
going over with a section of the Socialist Party
to national socialism, a crude imitation of
Hitler adapted to Japanese war policy. Thus
in France, the "neo- socialists" have split from
the Socialist Party, In order to pass over openly
to national chauvinist platform, open fascism.
The American Socialist Party also has its open
fascist grouping which centers here in Ohio.
Its spokesman is Joseph W. STARTS, state secre-
tary of the S. P. Let me give you few samples
OF this new fascist program for the S. P:
Frank recognition of the futiIty of all
Socialist efforts so long as we ignore or oppose
those elemental emotional forces implied in
AmericaniSm, 'nationalism,' and patriotism
and therefore the need of utilizing or at least
neutralizing them by a shift Of attitude and
propaganda so as to enlist national pride and
love of country"
THE socialist appeal which relies on
vague internatiOnalism and a mythical work
ing-class instinct of solidarity is easily crushed
whenever it meets the elemental emotional
forces reused under the name of patriotism"
These great traditions cluster around the
Stars and Stripes and make it worthy to be
fought for, regardless of the capitalist con-
nections in recent years"
Not by the pacifiSt but by the patriotic
approach lies our path to power and freedom"
It would be difficult to improve ON Mr..
STARTS by quoting directly from Hitler.

Forward Winning the American Workers for Soviet Power

division of labor-one part Of them becomes the
right wing" which carries through the dirty
work of the direct sell-out; the other part be-
comes a "left-wing" which mildly deplores the
necessity of submitting to the sell-out. and
which consoles the workers with an ineffective
opposition and sugar-coating of radical and
even revolutionary and Communist phrases
This left-reformist left socal-fascism is SPRING
ing up everywhere today, and is especially dan
gerous. One form of it is the self-styled Amer
lean Workers Party" headed by the Rev. Music
Another is the LoveStone group with its 7.
Zimmerman in the shoe industry and its S.
Zimmerman in the needle trades Another is
the Trotzky group in the food industry They
are characterized by the multiplicity of their
banners, their hatred of the Communists; their
radical hot-air, and their practical service to
the A. F. Of L. and Socialist Party offcialdom.
A classical example of this left social-fascism
is given by the Communist Oppositionist," S.
Zimmerman in Local % of the ILG.WU. Zim-
merman's Communist revolutionary phrases
have become invaluable instruments in the
hands of the ILG.W.U. officials and the So
cialist Party. The workers in Local % are be-
coming disillusioned with the off1cialdom. They
can't be fooled anymore by the old means They
are prepared to give a large vote for revolution
airy policy. So the S. P. and A. F. of L. officials
decide that here is an occasion to apply the
good old American saying IF you can't lick
EN- join EN-" They find ready at hand in
the person of S. Zimmerman their own Com
munist' to lead Local %, and safely preserve
these workers under their control. They assure
the workers: Your choice Is no longer between
refornist and revolutionary leadership. Now
you choose between two kinds Of revolutionists
the practical, the realistic Zimmerman, or the
impractical, utopian, diSruptive Communists
You're not even choosing between non-Com-
munistS and Communists, because we're even
prepared 30 give you Communist to lead you"
Thus in the recent elections in Local %, the
A. F.. of L. officials Socialist Party, the Socialist
press created firm fighting united front in
support of the Communist" Zimmerman. Thus
these little groups of renegades, trading on the
name of Communism hire themselves out to the
blacklist reaction in the labor movement and
become mass leaders" in the service of social
fascisn.
The example of the zinmermans gives the
type of the whole tribe of left social-fascists
that is being born out of the crisis of social
fascist leadership. They are the most dangerous
enemies of the workers struggles today We
can move forward only to the extent that we
expose their true character, and thus drive them
out of the workers movement.
In this respect we must say that too often
we still see remnants Of certain liberal, toler-
ant attitude towards the renegades To some
extent this is born out Of the fact that we have
such a new membership in our movement-be-
cause we are growing so rapidly Many of our
members are not familiar with the direct facts

cleft" SOcim-Fas cism and Its Role

had been not only cheated out of their sup
posed economic victories but were completely
denied the right of their own organization. The
companies began installing company unions;
the men threatened to strike against them;
they returned to their old leaders for advice
and were told not to make any more trouble,
to submit to the NRA. code of $500 per week;
that the company had right to organize COM
pany unions if they wished In desperation, the
men went on strike again to enforce the recog-
milton of their union. Already they had ar
rayed against them all their former friends;
every newspaper in the city vilified them; La
Guardia threatened them; the police arrested
them and beat them up; the Socialists washed
their hands of them; the A. F. of L. threatened
to come in and take over sponsorship of the
Company union. Only the Communist Party,
the revolutionary trade unions and the Daily
Worker came to the assistance of the taxi strik-
ers Result the same taxi drivers who few
weeks ago were tearing up the Daily Worker,
and beating up Communists, today cheer the
Daily Worker, send delegations to the Con1n1u-
mist Party Convention, and are no longer afraid
or ashamed that their union is being called
red union. In a few brief weeks the social-fas-
cists lost their influence over them; in few
brief weeks these men who in overwhelming
majority few weeks ago were actively antag
onistic, became Communist sympathizers.
The same thing is happening on a larger and
smaller scale everywhere. The class lines are
tightening; the class struggle is sharpening; the
masses can learn quicker now than ever before
on which side do the leaders stand-with the
capitalists or with the workers The social
fascist leaders are being exposed before the
masses as capitalist agents.
In this crisis the social-fascst leadership finds
it necessary to invent new means to keep the
workers fooled and under their control For
this purpose, they are beginning, whereverSthe
situation gets too hot for them, to establish
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-04-14

The relationship between immediate demands
and revolution has become closer than ever with
the deepening Of the capitalist crisis. The CAPT
talists are driving more and more to reduce the
standards of living. The Socialist leaders and
the A. F. of L. are more and more driven by
their Subordination to the Roosevelt program to
openly betray the struggle of the workers for
the means of living. Where formerly they had
time and room to maneuver in and fool the
workers. they now more and more have come
out quickly and openly with their strikebreak-
ing role. AS a result the masses are becoming
quickly disillusioned. There is real crisis
among the social-fascists; their followers are
turning away from them
A little example of the speed of this develop
ment has been seen in the two taxi drivers
strikes in New York City. Two months ago the
taxi workers went out demanding the recog-
milton of their union and increased pay. When
they first struck, who were their leaders? Mayor
LaGuarda, himself, appeared as a sort of god
father to them; Socialist Judge Panken was
their principal spokesman; liberal Socialist
Morris Ernst was the arbitrator; the Socialist
Party spoke of it patronizingly as our union.
Quickly the scene changed. The arbitrator got
to work When the men heSitated to compro-
mise their demands, LaGuardia quickly changed
from the kindly godfather to the threatening
policeman The liberal Socialist councillors and
arbitrator pressed the taxi men to accept the
settlement dictated by LaGuardia; the men
finally accepted under the impression that they
had gotten part of their economic demands,
plus the recognition of their union The Com
munists told the taxi strikers they had been
betrayed The taxi strikers were still loyal to
these leaders and they tore UP the Daily
Worker that told them the truth, and beat up
the Communists. Disappointed though they
we're. they would have nothing to do with the
Communist disrupters" and reds" But when
they got back to work, they found that they

These figures represent a very important in
crease, comprising more than 10 per cent Of
all the workers in these enterprises. That the
Communists have had a great deal to do with
this growth in trade union organization, is dem
onstrated by the relatively high proportion Of
revolutionary and independent unions. The
most serious weakness that these figures disclose
is that as yet only little more than 10 per
cent of the workers have been brought into
the unions
IT is clear that recisely at this point we have

the key problem to the future growth Of our
Party and of the revolutionary trade union
movement. The problem of our shop nuclei IS
to win the leadership of the overwhelming ma
jority Of these $4,000 workers, bring the best
fighters, the most capable forces, into the Com
munist Party and the whole mass Of workers
into the trade unions. Is it utopian to set such
a task for ourselves? No, it is not. Weak as
our shop work has been, We already have ex-
amples showing that it can be done, and done
quickly.
