WHAT WE FIGHT FOR We fight directly for communism.
The two-stage strategy of first socialism, then communism, led back to capitalism. The Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China returned to capitalism because socialism retained too many aspects of capitalism, like wages and divisions of labor. We fight to be a mass party, not a cadre elite. The communist organization of society requires the active commitment of millions of workers who understand it, agree with it, struggle to advance its ideas, and vow to make it succeed. Communism means abolishing nationalism. One working class, one party, one world. Communism means abolishing racism by building multi-racial unity and internationalism. Communism means abolishing sexism. Communism means collectivity. No money. No wages. People working together based on their commitment to each other and to building a communist society, just as we do right now in the Party. Communism means the workers run every aspect of society. Everyone must be a communist organizer for this to work; we must all give and receive leadership from each other. Communism can be won only through armed struggle by masses of workers, soldiers, students and others, to destroy the dictatorship of the capitalist class and set up communism- dictatorship of the working class.
