Voice of action. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1933-1936, 1934-11-02


The Democratic, Republican,
Socialist and Farmer-Labor Par
ties-together with the American
Federation of Labor through its
so called non partisan policy
which has as its aim to keep the
masses chained to the capitalist
parties-each appear in this
years election campaign in diff
ferent garb; each will promise
measures Immediately beneficial
to the masses.
WORKERS MUST BREAK
WITH OLD PARTIES
The Communist Party calls
upon the masses to break decis-
lively with these parties OF hun
ger, fascism and war. 1t calls upon
the masses to defeat the Repub-
liean, Democratic, Farmer-Labor
and Socialist candidates I'm the
congressional elections. Z lect
Communist candidates. Send the
fighters for your demands, for
your class interests, to Congress!
The Communist Party calls up
on the millions of workers and
farmers, Negro and white, not
only to elect Communist congress-
men and all other Communist
candidates, but to boldly and de-
terminedly take up and broad
en- the mass fight for immediate
demands set forth in this plat
form. This alone can win immed-
late and substantial victories
for the toilers.
More than that, the mass
fight for these demands is the
starting point in the workers
struggle for political power, for
workers government, for So
Wet government in the United
States, which alone will bring
the present capitalist crisis to an
end.
The only way out of the crisis
for the toiling masses is the re-
evolutionary way out-the aboli-
tion of capitalist rule and capt.
talism, the establishment of the
Socialist society through the
power OF a revolutionary work
ers' government, a Soviet gov
eminent.
UNITED STATES RIPE FOR
SOCIALISM
The program of the revOlu-
tionary solution OF the crisis is
no blind experiment. The work.
ing class is already in power in
the biggest country in the world,
and it has already proved the
great superiority of the Socialist
system. When the crisis has en-
quilted the capitalist countries
at the same time in the Soviet
Union, where the workers rule
through their Soviet power, a
new Socialist society is being
VIGOROUSLY built. 1t completely
abolished unemployment and
tremendously raised the material
well-being and cultural stand
ards of the toiling masses. Upon
the basis of its Socialist system,
the Soviet Union has become the
most powerful fighter for peace
in an otherwise war-mad world.
In every material respect the
United States is fully ripe Tor
All material conditions
exist for a society which could
at once provide every necessity
of life and even degree Of lux
ury for the entire population.
The first acts of a revolution
airy workers government would
be to open up the warehouses
and distribute among all the
working people the enormous
stores of food and cloth
ing.
1t would open up the tremend-
GUS accumulation OF unused
buildings-now withheld for pri-
vate profit-for the benefit OF
tens of millions who now wander
in the streets or crouch
in cellars or slums.
Such a government would i'm
open up all factories,
mills and mines, and give every
person a job at constantly in
creasing wages.
Unemployment and social in
surance at full wages without
special cost to the workers would
be provided for all
to cover loss of work due to nat
ural causes outside the control OF
the workers government, as well
as due to sickness, old age, ma
ternity or other disabilities. Jobs
would be provided to all able
bodied workers under planned
