Recently our Party club in LA had a forum in which we discussed the question of armed struggle. Before this forum we had one on the elections, followed by another on the economic crisis. The idea for the most recent forum came from workers who attended the previous forums and were interested in knowing more about how the working class can take power and run society. Much of the information for the forum came from the article, “Armed Insurrection,” written in PL Magazine in 1972. During the presentation we acknowledged the history of past revolutions and the achievements of the working class in these revolutions. We explained that armed struggle will not occur from one day to the next, and that such a process will take a long time. We explained that first we need to win people to our political line and to engage in class struggle and that revolution requires winning the masses at our work sites, schools, army bases and other sectors of society. We analyzed the failures and successes of the Communards, Bolsheviks, Chinese and Vietnamese Communists. Workers have attended the forums because they like the information and it is helping them understand our political line. Furthermore, the workers gave money in support and took extra copies of CHALLENGE to distribute. LA Comrades

What We Fight For
Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to smash capitalism -- wage slavery. While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim "communism is dead:" capitalism is the real failure for billions all over the world. Capitalism returned to the Soviet Union and China because socialism failed to wipe out many aspects of the profit system, like wages and division of labor.
Capitalism inevitably leads to wars. PLP organizes workers, students and soldiers to turn these wars into a revolution for communism -- the dictatorship of the proletariat. This fight requires a mass Red Army led by the communist PLP.
Communism means working collectively to build a society where sharing is based on need. We will abolish work for wages, money and profits. Everyone will share in society's benefits and burdens.
Communism means abolishing racism and the concept of race.
Communism means abolishing the special oppression of women workers.
Communism means abolishing nations and nationalism. One International working class, one world, one Party.
Communism means the Party leads every aspect of society. For this to work, millions of workers -- eventually everyone -- must become communist organizers. Join Us!
