Notes: "Dear Comrades: The crackdown by the Polish bureaucracy on Solidarity calls for a major and immediate response from our party. The key element of this response needs to be an aggressive campaign to explain to the widest possible layer of the working class what is involved in the struggle in Poland. Our job is to explain clearly that the Polish workers are fighting to democratize the Polish workers state, not to a return to exploitation under "free enterprise" -- as the AFL-CIO bureaucracy, the imperialists, and the Stalinists all claim."--Page [1].
Table of contents: title: In the 1980s, Solidarity was a broad, anti-bureaucratic social movement, using the methods of civil resistance to advance the causes of worker's rights and social change. It was the first trade union in a Warsaw Pact country that was not controlled by a communist party.
