13 November, 2005: The Early American Marxism Archive in the USA History
section
of the MIA has added the following 10 original documents from the
history of
early American Marxism focusing mainly on the early Communist Party .
“What Revolutionary Socialism Means,” by Carl D. Thompson [Oct. 1903]
Very
explicit exposition of the term “Revolutionary Socialism” by a leading
figure
in Victor D. Berger’s Social Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Rev.
Thompson
quotes Karl Kautsky at length to “settle” his assertion that
“revolutionary
Socialism” has no connection to violent overthrow of the state, but is
rather a
synonym for “scientific Socialism”—meaning one who believes in the use
of “the
independent political party to capture the powers of government by a
hitherto
oppressed class as a means of securing Socialism.”
To Our Russian Comrades! by Eugene V. Debs [Nov. 7, 1918] Short salute
from the
Socialist Party of America’s most popular leader to the Russian Soviet
Republic
and its Bolshevik leadership in commemoration of the first year of the
regime’s
existence.
Lenin -- An Appreciation by Louis C. Fraina [Nov. 7, 1918] Article from
a
magazine published by the Socialist Publication Society of Brooklyn in
commemoration of the first anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Class
Struggle co-editor Louis C. Fraina provides a well-informed synopsis of
the
significance of V.I. Ul’ianov (N. Lenin) as a Marxist thinker and
revolutionary
leader.
(4) “Leon Trotsky,” by Ludwig Lore [Nov. 7, 1918] Article from a
magazine
published by the Socialist Publication Society of Brooklyn in
commemoration of
the first anniversary of the Russian Revolution. Class Struggle
co-editor
Ludwig Lore provides an absolutely invaluable account of the ten month
tenure
of Leon Trotsky in New York—Lore crediting Trotsky and his fellow
Russian
expatriates with a leading role in the establishment of an organized
Left Wing
faction in the Socialist Party. The list of the Russian luminaries who
assembled in a Brooklyn apartment together with American revolutionary
socialists is impressive: Trotsky, Bukharin, Kollontai, Vorovsky...
While
Bukharin advocated the immediate formation of a new organization with
its own
official organ, his proposal was defeated, Lore says; instead Trotsky’s
idea to
establish a Left Wing bi-monthly theoretical magazine as an initial step
was
accepted—the end result being the magazine The Class Struggle.
The White Terror. (Unsigned Reportage from The Toiler, May 21, 1921).
News
report from the semi-legal press of the United Communist Party detailing
assorted acts of police illegality and malfeasance. Lead importance is
given to
the arrest of Abraham Jakira, Israel Amter, and Edward Lindgren of the
UCP on
April 29, 1921—arrests made without warrant.
The American Foreign-Born Workers by Clarissa S. Ware [Early 1923] Full
text of
a pamphlet published early in 1923 by the Workers Party of America.
Clarissa
Ware worked in the WPA’s Research Department; this is her only
publication as
she died later in 1923.
Lenin by John Pepper [Circa late January 1924] V.I. Ul’ianov (N. Lenin)
died on
January 24, 1924, and the nature of politics within the Communist
movement was
instantly altered. A new word entered the lexicon -- “Leninism”—and a
mad
scramble took place within the leadership of the Russian Communist Party
(bolsheviks) to define themselves as the most dedicated adherents of
this new
-ism and to thus wrap up in the mantle of authority of the departed
Soviet
leader.
For the United Front of Labor! A Call to Action by the Workers Party: To
All
Labor Unions, All Organizations of the Working Farmers, the Farmer-Labor
Party,
the Socialist Party, the Proletarian Party, the Socialist-Labor Party,
and the
Industrial Workers of the World. [Early 1924] Full text of a four page
leaflet
produced by the Workers Party of America in an attempt to unite the
various
political organizations of the American left in a single united front
against
the “one common enemy -- the employing class.”
Speech on Bolshevization of the American Party to the Organizational
Conference
of the Communist International, Moscow, March 18, 1925 by William Z.
Foster
Beginning March 15, 1925, a conference was held in Moscow, chaired by
Osip
Piatnitsky, dedicated to the restructuring of Communist Parties around
the
world on the basis of “factory nuclei”—so-called “Bolshevization.”
Speech at the 5th Plenum of the Enlarged Executive Committee of the
Communist
International: Second Session, March 25, 1925 by Grigorii Zinoviev. The
head of
the Communist International states his perspective on the evolving
international
situation, attempting to stake out a middle position between the
erroneous views
of the “prophets of collapse” and “the worshippers of stabilization.”

The Future by Eugene V. Debs [July 16, 1898] Letter from the former head
of the
industrial American Railway Union and leading participant of the Social
Democracy in America to the members of the newly-formed Social
Democratic Party
of America. Debs gives his wholehearted blessing to the new political
organization.
No Impossibilism for Us! by Victor L. Berger [September 1906] A succinct
philosophical manifesto of the “constructive” Socialist political
philosophy,
originally published as an editorial in the Social- Democratic Herald by
that
paper's editor, Victor L. Berger. Berger declares war upon “IWW element
of our
party,” of which he says that “most of whom are as ignorant as they are
fanatical and hypocritical.”
The Secret of Efficient Expression by Eugene V. Debs [July 8, 1911]
Asked by the
Education Department of the University of Wisconsin to participate in a
study of
oratorical “fertility and efficiency of expression, ” Socialist Party
agitator
Eugene V. Debs responds with an autobiographical essay on the men who
shaped
his conception of an orator— Patrick Henry, John Brown, Wendell
Phillips, and
Robert Ingersoll— and his path of self-education.
Decision of the National Executive Committee on the Finnish Controversy
[Dec.
13, 1914] From 1913 through 1915 a severe factional struggle raged in
the
Finnish Federation of the Socialist Party, brought about when the
constructive
socialist leadership of the Eastern District won control of the
Executive
Committee of the Federation and editorial control of the radical organ
of the
Middle District, Työmies. The left wing of the federation withdrew their
support of Työmies and established a new daily newspaper called
Sosialisti.
Report to the National Executive Committee by Adolph Germer [circa
January 1,
1917] Written report of the National Executive Secretary of the
Socialist Party
of America to the members of the National Executive Committee sent just
prior to
the January 6-7, 1917 NEC meeting in Chicago. Germer provides the
1903-1916
party membership series, numbers which indicated that the party's
membership
slide from the time of the 1912 Convention had been halted, although the
miniscule increase was called "far from satisfactory in view of the
campaign
activities.”
A New Appeal by John Reed [January 18, 1919] Substantial essay by famed
journalist John Reed about the state of the Socialist Party and the task
of the
revolutionary socialist movement in America. Reed sees a dichotomy in
the ranks
of the SPA -- "American” members of the petty bourgeoisie and
intellectuals and
“Foreign-born" workers and intellectuals.
A Left Wing— And Why: A Satatement of Cause and Effect by N.S.
Reichenthal
[March 12, 1919] A lengthy and intelligent letter to the editor of the
New York
Call seeking a measured and open-minded approach to the emerging Left
Wing
Section of the Socialist Party. Reichenthal states that he is neither
with the
Left Wing and the “state within a state” in the Socialist Party nor a
blind,
epithet-spewing “loyalist.”
The 1923 Foster Trial: The Reports of the WPA Press Service [March 12 to
April
10, 1923] The Workers Party of Society Press Service covered the nearly
month-long trial of William Z. Foster in St. Joseph, Michigan
exhaustively,
sending out reports of each day's events to the party press. Only a
fraction of
this material was ever published in the weekly English-language organ,
The
Worker, the bulk being translated and run in the non-English daily press
of the
WPA. This 21-page document collects all 25 of these reports for the
first time
and provides what now stands as the best single blow- by-blow account of
the
landmark Foster “Criminal Syndicalism” case.
On the Foster Trial by Grigorii Zinoviev [circa March 29, 1923] With
Secretary
of the Trade Union Educational League William Z. Foster embroiled in a
trial
for “criminal syndicalism” over his participation in the August 1922
Convention
of the Communist Party of America at Bridgman, MI, head of the Communist
International lends his support with this article in the press.
Monster Political Convention of The Workers of America, Chicago, July 3,
1923.
Every Local Union, Central Body, Farm Organization, State, National, and
International Body and Political Group Invited. A Chance at Last for
Bringing
About United Action of The Workers of Hand and Brain on the Political
Field.
[Circa May 1923] Convention call of the Farmer-Labor Party of the United
States
(J.G. Brown, Secretary) to a July 3, 1923 gathering in Chicago called
for the
purpose of “devising means for knitting together the many organizations
in this
country in such a manner as will enable the workers to really function
politically.”
