the problem of getting all the Party
members inside the trade unions. In
other words, we are confronted with
the task of making every Party
member understand the role of the
individual Communist, the role Of
the Communist Party among The
organized masses. A clearer UNDER
! standing of the role Of the frac-
tons will strengthen our position
tremendously among the masses or
/ gained in the trade unions.
How do we stand in regard to tbs
feminist principles of democratic
centralism and iron discipline Of
our Party? Let the Trotzkyite
counter revolutionists and Love-
stoneite renegades shout about the
lack of democracy, about the bu-
reaucracy in our Party We are
following the feminist principles on
the basis of which the solid unity Of
the Party is established.
Of what kind of democracy do
these gentlemen talk? Of the lib
erty asked for by Trotzky through
out his political career to convert
our Party into a discussion club, to
smuggle under the cloak Of inner
democracy distortions Of Marxism-
Leninism, to smuggle into our Party
Trotzky's theories of permanent
revolution, condemned by Lenin, 10
deny the possibility of builling So
cialism in one country. OF the lib
erty to slur the dictatorship of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, to slur the dictatorship Of
the proletariat in the Soviet Union,
and to advocate the necessity of a
second evolution-thereby arming
the hands of counter-revolutionary
assassins, uniting with White
Guards and Fascists to deprive the
Soviet Union, the world proletariat,
of their best leaders? No, gentle
men, from 1902. on, Lenin fought
against the Martovs and Trotzkys
on these vital problem in order to
prevent the opportunists, reformists,
the petty bourgeois elements, from
smuggling their theories into the
Party, and in order to build the
Party into a Party of iron discipline.
In our Party there is discussion;
but discussion kept in the frame Of
feminist inner democracy and Party
discipline. Discussion? Yes; more
discussion on how best to conduct
our activities, on how more eff
GENTLY to attack our enemies; but
not discussion for the revision Of
the program of the Lenin World
Party. 1t is in the democratic CEN
tralism and iron discipline based on
the theological unity of the program
of our Party that our strength lies.
This the bourgeoisie knows, and
this Is what the bourgeoisie fears.
Let the renegades shout that the
Communist Party is the tool Of
Stain. Following the Communist
International and the leadership OF
Stain means following Lenin,
means serving the cause of the
working class under the banner of
the Third International established
by Lenin, means following Lenin's
best disciple, Comrade Stain. Yes,
this is a great task and a great
honor, which the renegades from
the cause of the working class, cam
not share. Let them be COM
plimented and honored for their
struggle against the Lenin and
Stain World Party by their mas
ters-the bourgeoisie.
Strengthen the Party
The sharpening of the attacks
against our Party, against the work
ing class demands the tightening
up of the whole Party apparatus,
means concretizing into action the
line of the Open Letter to the Party
and the decisions of the Eighth
Party Convention.
The strengthening of our Party,
building it into mass proletarian
Party, is the best guarantee 20
withstand all attacks by the
enemies. The experiences OF many
sections of the Lenin World Party
which today. In spite of having
been suppressed, in spite of Fas-
cisrn, are maintaining a strong cons
nection with the masses-shows US
that our Party cannot be destroyed;
that the strength of our Party
when the highest pressure is exer-
cised against it by the enemy, lies
in the extent to which the Party is
connected with the masses in the
factories and in the trade unions.
The line of our Party as worked
out at the last Party convention,
and extended by the last plenum, is
the feminist line of more decisiveiy
leading the workers in the daily
struggles, in the building of the
broadcast united front movement, Of
more strongly being connected with
the masses as a prerequisite to
march forward and prepare our
selves for the future battles for
power.
The Eleventh Anniversary Of
Lenin'S death comes in the period
of a new round of wars and revo.
lutionS, at a moment when the at.
lacks against the soviet Union,
against the working class in all cap
italist countries, are sharpening; at
moment, when in the United
States, our Party is under the sharp
attack by the government and
growing Fascist elements. by the
refo-mist bureaucratic leaders Of
trade unions, by the renegades from
Communism, by the Socia1-Dem.
ocratic leaders; at moment when
the working class is under ths
sharpest attack by the New Deal.
1t therefore becomes necessary that
one of our major tasks is to take
more vigorously the leadership in
the daily struggles of the workers,
by building the broadcast united
| front. It is through their own ex-
