The Communist Party of the USA’s long-delayed convention has been scheduled for June 7-9 of this year. The party has swollen in size over the past few years as class consciousness continues to rise among the working people of the U.S. Empire. The previous convention, held in 2019, should have triggered a convention in 2023 according to the CPUSA constitution. It didn’t. The leadership of the party wasn’t ready to admit so many new voices to the table.

If you read the newest article by CPUSA officer C.J. Atkins (managing editor of the party organ People’s World, and Executive Director of the pro-Canadian government NGO, ProudPolitics), How does the Communist Party elect its leadership, it’s clear that they still aren’t ready to admit new voices. We will address the hypocrisy that is the CPUSA constitution and the anti-democratic structure it enshrines to protect its opportunistic and careerist leadership below, but first we must deal with something that is purposefully hidden from new recruits in the CPUSA: the party’s own history.

For this reason, we urge the widest possible circulation of this pamphlet among the new recruits of the CPUSA, so they can make their choices clearly, and have their voices heard despite the pressure from the “national” organization. Only through real struggle — not the tame, leashed thing present at CPUSA conventions of the past century — can the party be vigorously purged of its opportunists and careerists and fit to participate in the revolutionary milieu of North American Communism.

Designed for use in organization formation, The Study Group is a guide for agitating around and forming a Marxist study circle which can be transformed, through assiduous and focused work over six to eight months, into the nascent embryo of a true Marxist organization.

Like Constructive Struggle, this is a small, pocket-sized book that lays out the process of forming a Study Group in any environment and briefly touches on how to conduct investigations, how to agitate others into joining a study group, and also contains the organizational/structural layout of a potential study group that can serve as a primary organization.

Designed for use in cadre development, Constructive Struggle is a guide for converting comradely struggle into principled organizational unity — a concrete guide to the concrete interpersonal and group dynamic challenges that arise in the process of building an organization of revolutionaries.

This is a small, pocket-book sized discursus on methods of organizing; in particular, it details methods of conducting struggle — that is, of resolving disagreements, of interacting with the masses and political allies, and of communicating with comrades. Constructive Struggle rejects the liberal position of agreement for the sake of agreement, as well as the ultraleftist error of “struggle addiction.” The dictum we should all strive to follow is Cure the illness, save the patient.
