Communism -- Washington (State) -- Seattle
Every Party Committee must have a definite plan of work for the
period immediately ahead. In the conditions of the capitalist
countries Party Committees cannot work out the same complicated
calendar plans as the Party organizations of the C. P. S. U. The
C. P. S. U. is a Party in power, the plans of the C. P. S. U.
regulate the whole social and political life of the country. In
capitalist countries the Communist Parties are the parties of an
oppressed class. The bourgeoisie in power uses the whole apparatus
of the State power and the full help of the Social-Fascist and
other reactionary organizations in order to smash the plans of
the Communist Parties. In these conditions the committees of the
Communist Parties must systematically reconsider and reconstruct
the plans of their work; accordingly, these plans must be very
pliable. But plans there must be, without fail. Every Party
Committee must have an approximate plan of its work for the
period immediately ahead and must group the forces of the Party
organization according to that plan, fit the forms of the Party
structure to it and also the methods of Party work. The essence
of the plan of work of the Party Committee is the adequate
catering for the needs of the masses in the largest enterprises,
playing a more important role in the territory of the given Party
organization. The structure of the local Party organization must
be such that the organizations can above all serve these big
enterprises. That is to say, that in the first place the Party
Committee must interest itself in questions of the work of the
factory cells at these big enterprises, must help in the work of
these factory cells, seeking to attain that these Party cells
should become really strong political and organizational organs
of the Party, that they should be in practice connecting organs
between the Party and the masses of workers at these enterprises.
This idea can best of all be made clear by a concrete example,
say as follows: in a town there are two or three big enterprises;
railway workshops, a metal factory, a textile factory. Besides
these three big enterprises there are two or three dozen small
enterprises, and in addition scattered Party members, individual
workers, artisans, representatives of the so-called liberal
professions,--lawyers, writers, a doctor and so on, as well as a
few students. The Party Committee of this town should interest
itself above all in what is happening in the big enterprises--in
the railway workshops, in the metal factory and the textile
factory, how the factory cells are working there and in the first
place help the factory cells of these enterprises by all and every
means possible, concentrating all their attention and all their
forces on this task. In the lawyer’s office and the doctor’s
