They Showed the Way to Labor Emancipation:
On Karl Marx and the 75th Anniversary of the Paris Commune

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The American working class is not yet as familiar as the European working class with the history and traditions of the revolutionary socialist movement. March 14, anniversary of the death of Karl Marx, and March 18, anniversary of the Paris Commune will be celebrated by only a small minority.

C L R James
On the Woman Question:
An Orientation
A discussion held on September third, 1951

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new stage has been reached. We are finished with endless discussions on male chauvinism. We have no more time for individual attacks against individual men who are backward or against individual women who do not want to be "emancipated". These people will reorient themselves and will be drawn into their own struggles.

The Revolutionary Answer to the Negro Problem in the USA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decay of capitalism on a world scale, the rise of the CIO in the United States, and the struggle of the Negro people, have precipitated a tremendous battle for the minds of the Negro people and for the minds of the population in the US as a whole over the Negro question.

The Historical Development of the
Negro in the United States

----------------------------------

Source: submitted as a document of the minority (Johnson-Forest) grouping in the Workers Party (the Shachtmanites), 1943.

----------------------------------

The history of the Negro question and the American revolutionary movement in general, and the Trotskyist movement in particular, makes it imperative at this stage to outline in however brief a form the role of the Negroes in the political development of American society.

Dialectical Materialism and
the Fate of Humanity

------------------------------------

Mankind has obviously reached the end of something. The crisis is absolute. Bourgeois civilisation is falling apart, and even while it collapses, devotes its main energies to the preparation of further holocausts.

Negroes and Bolshevism

-----------------------------------------------------

The American government is today building up its campaign against the Communist Party, "the Reds." Readers of LABOR ACTION know that the Workers Party has been the unswerving foe of the Communist Party. But we oppose the Communist Party because it betrays the revolutionary struggle.
