Growing the Communist Party: Looking at Organizing Methods in a Historical Context » paMillions of Americans, especially young ones, prefer socialism to capitalism. The capitol domes in state after state ring with the voices of tens of thousands of labor activists and their allies. The need for study and popular explanation of tactics of unity is urgent. Who could NOT want a much larger Communist Party one with the capacity to engage with millions?
I agree with Tony Pecinovskys recent article, "Organizational Rubric, Power and Relevance: A Close Look At a Proud Organization," that the Communist Party needs to get in fighting trim. Tony gets right to the point: We should not spend our resources on activities that do not build that capacity.
The Communist Party needs to change and it needs to change fast. Were not open enough to volunteers. Not open enough to member initiatives. Theres too much waiting for the go-ahead from on high. Too much worry about doing things exactly right rather than not doing them at all. Too much feeling that this is OUR party and not that of the whole class and especially that of the younger generation.
