Correct. The issue is really simple to anyone not an ideologist.
1. How can a revolutionary or political trend claim to understand the
international class struggle and every national movement on earth and not
understand
the most elementary features of their own working class movement?
A. I am to believe that an ideologist that understands nothing about his own
history - American history, has mastered or make sense in an analysis of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in its class factors?
B. Stalin for the group of communist I come from - 90% industrial workers for
at least two generations, state without reservation, that his name is
connected in history with the national colonial question. One can say that
Stalin
means anything they want but history is a cruel master.
2. The CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal evolved with its roots in Reconstruction. In
their internal logic - despite the rhetoric, they remained populist formation to
one degree or another. A communist movement cannot arise before a communist
class has arisen and the socialist-populist does not understand this. At best
one can have an ideological Marxist movement and in America this did not
happen. The historical curve produced an anarcho-syndicalist movement and one
should
study Lenin and not Trotsky on this matter. The reason is that Lenin wrote
specific polemics against Trotsky and the anarcho-syndicalist movement in Russia
after 1917. The CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal argument is not with me but Lenin.
3. The workers of the deep South will tell you they are not damn Yankee's.
The CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal argument is with these workers not me. I am going to
do things in the political arena to try and give the workers of the North a
consciousness of the political fault line.
4. The political fight against the CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal is not about
socialism in one country or any other such crap but American history. If one
cannot
understand the value form and its law, why and how two different working
classes developed in the American Union, you are lost. What the CPUSA/Trotskyite
cabal calls the two working classes in the American Union is the black workers
and the white workers and this is stupid. Yes, the working class in the North
evolved from European immigrants but it is black and white and every other
color. Yes, the working class in the plantation South had at its core the
African
slaves but it was always multi-national because more than the slaves always
made up the laboring class.
How can one understand earth and not this elementary logic?
5. It gets deeper. The CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal does not understand what the
bourgeois property relations mean and follow the wrong political fault line and
here is what has stymied our working class. How on earth is this Stalin or
Moscow's fault?
Hell, trying to explain the evolution of the bureaucracy in the Soviet Union,
its composition during the time of Lenin, the composition of the political
and ideological groups recruited by the Bolsheviks; the evolution of the various
Bourgeois nationalist regimes in the Republic is impossible to talk about
with ideologist that do not understand their own history. The intensity of the
fight with what evolved into a caricature of the bourgeoisie is a story within
itself. The reason this was a "caricature of the bourgeoisie" is bound up with
value and the property relations in the industrial infrastructure. One cannot
have a real bourgeoisie without the competition between capitals - the social
power of capital, in the hands of individuals that create the circuit of
investment in productive forces based on the striving for maximum profits. This
is
the bourgeoisie property relations and is indifference to the state as a
property relations. This of course is elementary marxism.
The real question of Stalin, for American Marxist, is how the
CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal was destined to represent the ideological current
identified with the
most imperial sector of the workers and why the national coonial question was
abolished in our history. That is the historical trap that in America wears
the personalities of Stalin-Trotsky. I am an African American industrial worker
and understand this very clear. The CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal are chauvinist and
never have not been chauvinists.
Get with the national colonial question in American and prove me wrong. Get
with the question of the most poverty stricken sector of the proletariat and
prove me wrong. To hell with Trotsky and Stalin.
To not understand the political fault line is imperial banditry. One can
carry out their moral duty as communist without bending to anarcho-syndicalism.
The American social chauvinist are no different that the German ones and blame
Moscow, when the fact of the matter is that the German workers - as is the case
with the American workers and their leaders, to blame for the political
backwardness of the workers.
To think that Bush can be unseated on the basis of the most privileged
workers of the North is lunacy. Bush can be defeated by following the political
fault line that is the North/South axis. Here is the national colonial question
that only an imperial fool and agent of Yankee imperialism cannot see.
Moscow does not control the CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal newspapers and
propaganda. Who will you blame now. If you want to know the difference between
us look
at the old article I put forth about California - for Marxline, and compare
them with all the other articles on California. My article begins with the fact
that California enters the Union at the hands of the slave oligarchy and then
traces history on the basis of the most poverty stricken sector of the
workers. The other articles are the ideological expression of the privileged
workers
- imperialist chauvinist ideology.
Fuck the dumb shit and fingering pointing at Moscow when the problem is you -
CPUSA/Trotskyite cabal and not leaving the doctrines of the past. Throw the
old doctrines in the wastepaper basket. None of them can help us.
Did you understand that or is this Moscow's fault. "You" understand the world
movement and not simple value theory and American history?
Who is ignorant now Mr. Walter's?
