THE SOCIALIST CONVENTION
Whether Socialism is to retain
its present program and identity
or be amalgamated with sovietism
or communism, is one of the issues
which the Socialist National Con
vention, now in session at Detroit,
will be called upon to decide.
Under the “agenda” system of
voting, adopted by the Socialists
for the first time this year, all
motions proposed for submission to
the convention must be circularized
in advance among the membership
of the party for assimilation and
discussion. Any faction or group
within the party, however small
and unrepresentative, may submit
such a tentative motion for inclu
sion in the agenda, with the dis
tinct understanding, however, that
the procedure carries with it abso
lutely no endorsement or sanction
for the proposal by the committee
who makes up the agenda.
Thus, among a mass of other
motions to be submitted at the
meeting are the following, taken
from the printed copy of the agenda
issued:
A motion that “the Socialist
party of the United States renew
its application for membership in
the Communist International upon
the basis of complete acceptance
of the twenty-one points of affilia
tion.”
Another motion on the same sub
ject says: “That the Socialist party
of the United States renew its ap
plication for membership in the
Communist International with the
reservation that we accept no bind
ing formula for the attainment 01
organization of the Socialist society
and retain complete autonomy in
matters of membership, organization
and tactics, and in regard to oui
program and declarations regarding
questions which are primarily. oi
domestic concern.”
A resolution dealing with the op
posite viewpoint states that: “be i1
resolved that until such time as the
Communist International has official
ly withdrawn the appeal for workers
to leave the American Socialist
party and others of a similar import
members of the Socialist party sup
porting or indorsing the Communist
International or advocating affilia
tion therewith shall be subject tc
expulsion by their respective branch
es.”
Another agenda motion says
“That the transitional period froVr
capitalism to socialism may take e
long time and will unavoidably be
accompanied by civil strife in one
form or another. At such a time
the new order has a right to de
fend itself and the Socialist-con
scious proletarian and his party
is then duty-bound to disregarc
the formal rights of the bourgeoisie
as a minority of the people anc
build the power of the workers a:
the majority, upon such a strong
basis and with such guarantees tha*
the revolution could not be en
dangered from within.
“This may be called the dictator
ship of the preletariat, or it may
be called under another name, but
it will always mean the same thing
] the power of the working class, ex
I pressed through the workers’ coun
J cil, or such other organizations a:
grow out of conditions of the time:
and which will aim at the fina
abolition of exploitation and op
pression.”
Still another resolution says:
‘‘The Socialist party of the Unitec
States advocates the dictatorship ol
the proletariat.The dictator
ship must be established to suppress
counter revolutionary movements oi
the capitalist and to firmly estab
lish the new order. The workinp
class, having captured the politica
power, must use that power to en
trench themselves as the dominani
ruling class, until such time as th(
expropriation of capitalist propertj
and the abolition of interest, renl
and profit has eliminated economic
| classes, class interests and class an
tagonisms.”
Another motion stakes that “Tli<
Socialist party regards the genera
strike as a powerful weapon of the
| working class.” This motion adds
j however: “However, considering i
, requires a high degree of organ
j ization, discipline and solidarity, i
(is evident that the advocacy of <
I general strike in the United State:
under present conditions is folly
I Years of education and organizatio:
lie before the American workim
I class before the general strike cat
! pass from theory to reality.”
| Political strikes are advocated if
I one motion but warns that it i:
effective where there is sufficien
sentiment to insure a general ar
willing compliance with the stril
orders and that political strike
called for light or trivial reasoi
are foredoomed to failure and wi
result in discrediting this powerfi
weapon.
Another resolution dealing wil
the Solialist attitude toward orgai
ized labor says in part: “As part <
the militant forces of the workin
class of this country, we reaffiri
that adherence to a policy to polit
tal begging, of political tradir
with the capitalists’ parties, on tl
part of the labor movement, is d
grading and detrimental to the i:
terest of the workers.”
“The working class government
another motion says, “must not hos
tate to use the most vigoroi
methods, if necessary, to suppre
forcible opposition by the minoril
and maintain its supremecy. Tl
workers must not allow anythir
to stand in the way of their beir
the ruling class as long as class:
or remnants of classes remain.”
Competitive motions, advocatir
exactly the opposite view to mar
of those here expressed are simila
ly guaranteed a hearing under tl
“agenda” system.
