L
L viks, our revolutionary greetings on its
fifteenth anniversary!
The month of the Party's anniversary
will shortly come to a conclusion. This
will mark the beginning of the Party's
membership drive to enroll into its ranks
the best working class fighters on all heds of class
struggle especially the militant strikers and picket
This is the occasion for an intensified effort
to increase the Partys ranks to strengthen It's
gsnization-to build the Party of American Boil
sheviks.
The outstanding fact in the present day class
struggle in the United States is the leading role
of our Party in the fight for the unity of the
American working class split and demoralized by
the reformistS and social Iascists. The central
fact in the class struggle of the United States to-
day is that our Party stands forth as the only
sistent and honest fighter for the united front
for unity of action Of all workers. Communists and
Socialists, organized and unorganized white and
black; for unity Of action against the common ex-
ploiter, the capitalist class and its State for the
defense Of the immediate most burning interests
and rights of the workers of the Negroes and Of
all the toilng masses
This flows from the revolutionary nature of
our Party. Just because our Party is the only
working class Party that stands for a revolution
airy way out of the crisis; just because our Party,
the American section of the Communist Inter
that stands for the socialist revolution and for
the dictatorship of the proletariat it is the most
consistent fighter for the united front, it is the
best and most trustworthy leader of the daily strug
giles of the workers against capitalist exploitation,
for higher wages, against the damnable system of
"stretch-out", for unemployment relief and insur-
ance against the capitalist terror and for workers
rights.
The Socialist Party leadership still refuses our
offers of united front action. The most shameful
episode in the maneuvers Of the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist Party against the
united front was recorded the other day. We
refer to Thomas refusal to endorse the united front
proposal of the Southern district of the Commu-
mist Party to the Socialist Party of the same dis
tr3ct Thomas to be sure differs from Gerber
and Abe Cahan, the BLACKLIST most corrupt, semi
fascist clements of the Socialist Party leadership,
but in practice and on the burning question of
the united front Thomas seems to follow Gerber,
who staunchly stands by all the unspeakable treach-
cries Of the A. F. Of L. bureaucracy such as the
latest black betrayal of German. The Revolution
airy Policy Committee" to be sure differs from
Thomas. The leaders of this committee, prior to
the last convention of the Socialist Party pledged
themselves to the Socialist Party membership to
fight for "a revolutionary Socialist Party" for
revolutionary Second International. What has
become of all these promises? The Communist
Party has pointed out the utopian and reactionary
character of the belief that the Socialist Party
airy, but we are of the opinion and still are that
the membership of the Socialist Party, its local
organizations, must and can be won over to united
front actions with the Communist Party, to class
struggle actions against the common enemy. This
is what fight for, but what is the Revolution
airy Policy Committee" doing to make possible
such actions? We hear nothing; we see nothing
The Revolutionary Policy Committee" by all APP
pearances would seem to follow Thomas, who seems
to be following Gerber, who in his turn hangs
to the reactionary bureaucracy of the A. F. of L.
and to the capitalist class. This too is united
'front.', but united front against the working class
The Party of the American Bolsheviks who cele-
brates its fifteenth anniversary fights and will
continue to fight for the united front with the So
cialist Party with its membership and locals against
the capitalist class.
We must warn the workers who follow Music
and his American Workers Party against trap
that is being laid for them by their leaders-the
trap of counter-revolutionary Trotzkyism. The
working class followers of Music doubt take his
words seriously that he is loyal to the Socialist
Fatherland and that he is ready to fight for its
defense against the imperialsts and their agents.
What will these workers say when Music is
trying to lead them into organic unity" with the
most dangerous enemies of the Soviet Union among
the workers-the Trotzkyite counter-revoutionists?
Music and the leadership of the American Workers
Party repeatedly broke their agreements for united
front action with the Communists on such vital
questions the anti-war struggle the struggle of
the unemployed and in the trade unions. Music
couldn't get himself to fulfill the agreements made
these united front actions in which the work
ing class of the United States is vitality IN
terested. Instead he is trying to lead his follow
ers whom he has promised, in program and
speeches. to work for the defense of the Soviet
Union, into organic unity" with those who con-
stitute the vanguard of the bourgeois counter
revolution against the Soviet Union. He under
takes to lead them into unity with bankrupt sect
which is despised by every honest and class-con-
scious worker We say to the working class fol-
lowers of Music and Co.; Don't be led into this
trap. In days to come you will regret it and be
ashamed of it. Listen to urgent appeal for
united front actions Those of you who are active
in the Unemployed Leagues fight for unity Of action
with the Unemployment Councils Those of you
who are active in the trade unions, fight for a
common front with the Communists and all mill
tant workers against the capitalists and their agents
in the leadership of the A. F. of L. Join hands
with the Party of the American Bolsheviks for
common daily struggle against the common enemy.
To the few misguided workers who still follow
the Trotskyists, have this to say You have
been deceived into believing that the Communist
