 Progressive Labor Party on Race & Racism

OUR FIGHT

 

Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to destroy capitalism and the dictatorship of the capitalist class. We organize workers, soldiers and youth into a revolutionary movement for communism.

Only the dictatorship of the working class — communism — can provide a lasting solution to the disaster that is today’s world for billions of people. This cannot be done through electoral politics, but requires a revolutionary movement and a mass Red Army led by PLP.

Worldwide capitalism, in its relentless drive for profit, inevitably leads to war, fascism, poverty, disease, starvation and environmental destruction. The capitalist class, through its state power — governments, armies, police, schools and culture —  maintains a dictatorship over the world’s workers. The capitalist dictatorship supports, and is supported by, the anti-working-class ideologies of racism, sexism, nationalism, individualism and religion.

While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim “communism is dead,” capitalism is the real failure for billions worldwide. Capitalism returned to Russia and China because socialism retained many aspects of the profit system, like wages and privileges. Russia and China did not establish communism.

Communism means working collectively to build a worker-run society. We will abolish work for wages, money and profits. Everyone will share in society’s benefits and burdens. 

Communism means abolishing racism and the concept of “race.” Capitalism uses racism to super-exploit black, Latino, Asian and indigenous workers, and to divide the entire working class.

Communism means abolishing the special oppression of women — sexism — and divisive gender roles created by the class society.

Communism means abolishing nations and nationalism. One international working class, one world, one Party.

Communism means that the minds of millions of workers must become free from religion’s false promises, unscientific thinking and poisonous ideology. Communism will triumph when the masses of workers can use the science of dialectical materialism to understand, analyze and change the world to meet their needs and aspirations.

  Communism means the Party leads every aspect of society. For this to work, millions of workers — eventually everyone — must become communist organizers. Join Us!

MAY DAY: LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, May 1—Progressive Labor Party marched with hundreds of workers in the streets of downtown. We joined a march for immigrant rights raising our red flags high.  We carried a long banner that was made by a friend of the Party which proclaimed, “FIGHT FOR COMMUNISM!, ¡LUCHE POR EL COMUNISMO!”
Walking along in a march dedicated to reforming capitalism, we boldly sang, “Fight for Communism, Power to the Workers.” Marchers and workers on the streets took 400 of our CHALLENGEs.  We made contacts on the march including two youth, who after seeing our banner said that they love communism and asked how they can get more information about our organization. Another new base member from the communist work in the church agreed to join a Party study group. The march culminated a weekend of class struggle for the Party.
Celebration of Communism
The night before, we held a rousing dinner, with more than 50 comrades and friends attending. Accompanied by guitar, claves, tambourine and congas, our group of teachers, students, garment workers, health workers, church members, musicians and artistic workers enjoyed a multiracial evening of singing, poetry, speeches and spoken word in Spanish and English.
We also had lively discussion inspired by the questions, “Can capitalism be destroyed and communism built without a party to lead that struggle? To succeed, what features does such a Party need?” That conversation, which could have gone on for much longer, will continue as we work with our comrades and friends in the class struggle against racism, sexism, nationalism and imperialism.
An important part of that struggle is to increase the readership of CHALLENGE and we started that with new subscriptions to this communist paper. The evening continued with a speech on the state of the world and a call to action. Organizing for a communist society means getting rid of capitalism, a political system that exploits and terrorizes workers worldwide and is leading the dominant imperialists toward a world war that they expect the workers to fight in. We say we will fight for communism! The international working class shall be the human race!
