Chapter 325 Between the War and the Battle (22)

"The government has been deceiving us. At such an important historical juncture, the working class in the United States should unite and fight bravely. The worker strike in the Norfolk shipyard and the demonstrations and solidarity strikes in other cities show the strength of the working class. The party should not do anything." In a dock workers' residence outside New York, Foster said in a low voice, "On the one hand, we must fight against the White Loud revisionism and strive to restore the party's organization as soon as possible; on the other hand, we must stand at the forefront of the workers' movement to lead this vigorous movement."

"Are you going to launch a violent revolution to seize power?"

Foster shook his head: "We cannot do this for the time being. The situation of the American revolution has not developed to this point. Now the country is facing significant threats from axial countries such as Japan and Germany. The outbreak of the revolution can only find an excuse for the big bourgeoisie to suppress the working class internally and surrender externally. However, we can clearly oppose the Dewey government, oppose the incompetence, fraud and cowardice of this government, create greater space for the party to enter the political stage and win greater strength."

Brezhnev said it well. The United States has a maximum organization, and the number of people was not small at the beginning, reaching 100,000 at its peak. Especially in the era of the great economic crisis, it had a prominent reputation with organizations at all levels such as trade unions and industrial workers' associations. Foster, who was the general secretary of the U.S. Communist Party at that time, participated in three presidential elections in 1924, 1928 and 1932 as a presidential candidate. Although he was defeated without exception, at least the reputation and organizational level of the party are incomparable now.

But the Great Depression ended, and the American workers' movement entered a trough. After entering the war stage, especially after cooperation with the Soviet Union, Foster's path to independently develop the workers' movement was interrupted. In the struggle within the party, he was defeated by Blaude. The latter not only became the new general secretary of the US Communist Party, but also implemented a politically coordinated revisionist line. Under the slogan of "national unity", he suppressed and even gave up the independent workers' movement, pursued reconciliation between the working class and the bourgeoisie, and even proposed to "follow Roosevelt and obey Rose in everything, and obey Rose in everything. The slogan of "Fu Policy" was, in 1944, as the Soviet Union forced the dissolution of the Communist International under the circumstances, Blaude immediately announced the dissolution of the United States, and only formed the American Communist International Association to retreat from a political party to a general and loose political organization. He only studied the ** movement in the theoretical sense, no longer guided and guided the workers' movement. At this time, the workers' movement was mainly focused on economic goals such as workers' rights, living security and social relief, and had no political goals. In Brezhnev's words, it was called "digging the grave himself."

Foster cannot tolerate this behavior. As the United States is getting worse on the battlefield, he feels a severe atmosphere. The factory's tasks are increasing day by day, the labor time is getting longer and longer, the supply of materials is tighter, but the corresponding salary is not increased. More importantly, Hoover stepped up the supervision and management of the factory. After Boeing was bombed in Seattle, Hoover racked his brains to arrest "foreign spies" that did not exist at all, trying to make the factory bombing. Find the scapegoat; after the "doomsday trial" attacking Oak Ridge was launched, Hoover's investigation of "spy" became increasingly strict. Except for the cronies of the big figure and the people around him were censored, all the workers working in Oak Ridge were investigated, especially in the final stage of the commando's behavior of pretending to be scientific researchers or workers infiltrating and going out, which made FBI more "convinced" that spies were mixed into the Oak Ridge team, and ordinary union activities were labeled as conspirators.

"This demonstration is to reorganize the originally loose alliance, restore the vitality and vitality of the Party, so that the Party can stand with the working class, and strive to make our voice independent and different from the capitalists in terms of economic, political and other aspects." Foster said, "Although the news media repeatedly claimed that we have achieved so many victories and eliminated millions of enemy troops, the situation is actually very unsatisfactory. The enemy has approached from the east and west coasts to the land. On the west coast, we have almost lost the entire Hawaii; on the east coast, we have lost the crucial Bermuda Islands. If it cannot be recovered in time, German rockets will continue to attack major cities on the east coast, and the people will always live in fear. We must shout loudly slogans, 'Defend the United States, oppose war, and strive for peace!'"

Others were stunned: the jump between defending the United States and fighting for peace seemed to be a bit too great, and there was no way to talk about peace in defending the United States.

"A small part of the reason why the United States joined this war was to support Europe's progressive forces, but in the final analysis it was to compete for world hegemony. Unfortunately, our army did not have this ability, and our government and generals did not achieve this goal. If we follow the strategy of the bourgeois government, the United States will fall into a terrible prospect. You should have all listened to the radio of "Voice of Europe"? How did the Germans claim about the peace between Germany and the United States?"

"Do you believe Hitler's propaganda?"

"I don't believe it, but I don't believe it at all that Hitler's goal is to fight for hegemony. The territory and resources he has obtained are enough, enough to be the king in Europe, and he has no ability to attack the United States for the time being. Conquering the United States may be his next goal, but not now, if the government continues to waste this, who can guarantee not to stimulate the ambition of the axis? In addition, the strategy currently promoted by the government is still mainly to fight for hegemony, and has never fully considered local defense. They are still in Venezuela and Brazilian protection so far.

Holding huge and meaningless forces, but not knowing to fight back against the enemy forces in Hawaii and Bermuda, they continued to infiltrate their power into Canada and Mexico, but forgot to equip the East and West coastlines with sufficient defensive weapons; what is more fatal is that the public opinion media has never truly explained the current severe military situation, the high cost of continuing the war and the heavy losses. The American working class should not use their blood, sweat and life to fight for the illusory hegemony cause. Is it beneficial to the bourgeoisie's behavior, what does it have to do with us?"

Foster was a little excited when he said this: "Especially, the transformed class aliens like Browder, who forgot their identity, forgot their position, and betrayed the interests of most working classes in exchange for their own political interests. Do you still plan to follow him? The United States consumed military expenses and losses for this war have exceeded 500 billion US dollars. If it is distributed to the American people, it is enough to fund our children to complete college studies and each family can buy a car. Who paid the money? Are you expecting capitalists to bear the losses? In the end, it is not the labor masses who will bear it?

"Let me ask you again, how many people have died in the past few years? Have your relatives and friends been killed and injured? How many civilian children are there in this army of millions of casualties? Have you ever heard of the children of capitalists who sacrificed their lives for the country?"

Everyone was silent: Foster's words hit the nail on the head. The working class actually had no interest in conquering the outside world. Improving their economic treatment and social status is the right way. Now I am deceived to go to war together. It's okay to win. Everyone cheered together, not only do they have to donate money and life, but they can't even guarantee the safety of the workplace. It's better not to fight such a war.

This is the "isolationism" of the working class in the United States. It originally disappeared without a trace with the fireside conversations of Roosevelt, but now it has resurfaced with the unfavorable situation on the battlefield. In Foster's words: If the Germans and the Japanese want to attack the local area, it goes without saying that they will naturally insist on resisting to the end, but if the opponent only wants other territory and achieve peace, why can't they withdraw from the war like this?

"We need to convene a party meeting as soon as possible, dismiss the position of speculators like Blaude, and work hard again on the side of the working class to oppose war and strive for peace!"

"I understand, we will connect as soon as possible, and I hope you can lead us again."
