 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!

Haiti: Cadre school fights to learn communist ideas

HAITI, September 8–Ignorance of the history and modes of capitalist culture and ideology constitutes one of the greatest obstacles to the engagement of young people in the revolutionary struggle. Moreover, young people know little or nothing about communism, communist-led struggles and movements, and what they may know are often laced with the bosses’ lies. To combat this ignorance and shed light on the differences between communist and capitalist ideologies, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) in Haiti organized a political cadre (training) school for twenty young people.

From August 19 to 21, in a small hotel in a small provincial town, Party comrades and young students studied and discussed Party and other texts on historical materialism, capitalism, communism, revolutionary struggles and on the relationship between reform and revolution.

There was spirited discussion and debate about social class and the need to engage students and their parents in the struggle against the racist and sexist capitalist system, and to build an egalitarian communist society where the international working class and its communist party rule in its own interest. The participants wrote short letters, some of which are in this issue (with more to follow for next issue). The school ended on a high note, with two students joining PLP, eager to grow their commitment for revolutionary struggle, and at least three others are seriously considering making this commitment. We welcome them warmly. La lutte continue!  (The struggle continues)!
