Communism -- Washington (State) -- Seattle
4. Each week the Section Committee will discuss the most important
political problem before the Section and will issue material which
will serve to bring written discussion before the membership and
point out the Party line on each question.
5. At each Unit meeting some leading comrade should lead the
discussion--that is, bring the report from the Section, open up
the subject similar to what was done in the Section Buro.
6. The discussion in the Unit should be organized in such manner
that each member of the Unit will participate, raising such
problems as suggest themselves to him.
7. The Unit organizer should sum up the discussion at the close.
(This is not ironclad. It may sometimes be better for the comrade
from the Section Buro or Section Committee to make the summary.
The main thing is that a summary is made in which the Party
Line is again made clear. This will fix the Party line in each
comrade’s mind so as to last.
“The Communist’s ideal should be a tribune of the people, able
to react to every manifestation of tyranny and oppression, no
matter where it takes place, no matter what stratum of class of
the people it affects. He must explain the historical role of the
Proletariat” (Lenin).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNITS
Hold Meeting on Friday, April 14, to consider the following:
1. The Reorganization Program for the Section--(Special Outline
enclosed).
2. Elect Buro--Three most politically and theoretically developed
comrades in Unit.
3. Political discussion on the meaning of the New Policy of the
Communist Parties in regards to the Socialist Party and other
Social-Democratic groups.
NOTE OF EXPLANATION
The Party organization is flexible. Forces can be shifted from
place to place, etc. But the Party line is quite well defined and
there are sharp differences between that which is approved by the
Party Line and that which is disapproved by the Party Line. The
Party line does not change except under rare and unusual occasions.
The Sharp change in the International Situation has brought
forth a change in the attitude of the Communist Parties to the
Social-Democratic Groups, this includes the Socialist Party of
America.
The whole membership of the section should have read the statement
of the ECCI in the Daily Worker some two to three weeks ago where
the change of policy was explained.
The Communist Party will maintain vigilance against those who
attempt to break the United Front and thereby betray the position
of the working class by complete and ruthless exposure. But there
is a truce existing at the present time between the Communist
Parties and the Social Democrats. The Bellamy Club should be
included with the Social-Democrats.
