Please enjoy this PSMLS reading of Emilian Yaroslavski's 1934 article "Marxism and Anarchism" published in that year's December edition of "The Communist," the former theoretical organ of the CPUSA, and the current theoretical organ of the PCUSA. In light of the recent attacks by anarchists on our comrades in Northern California, this reading serves to educate workers on the dangers of anarchism and its utter irreconcilability with socialism. If all anarchists can do is destroy, how is socialism going to be built? We hope you learn something new!

Enjoy this instrumental of the Hymn of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY). The English lyrics have been included in this description for your convenience. The WFDY was set up in 1945 by the Soviet Union following the victory over fascist barbarism. The Federation still exists today and the League of Young Communists USA (LYCUSA) is working tirelessly to attain membership in its ranks. Long live the World Federation of Democratic Youth! Long live the struggle of young Communists!

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)

One great vision unites us

Though remote be the lands of our birth.

Foes may threaten and smite us,

Still we live to bring peace to the earth.

Every country and nation,

Stirs with youth's inspiration —

Young folks are singing,

Happiness bringing

Friendship to all the world.

(Chorus)

Everywhere the youth is singing freedom's song,

freedom's song, freedom's song.

We rejoice to show the world that we are strong,

we are strong, we are strong.

We are the youth,

and the world acclaims our song of truth.

Everywhere the youth is singing freedom's song,

freedom's song, freedom's song.

(Verse 2)

We remember the battle,

And the heroes who fell on the field,

Sacred blood running crimson,

Our invincible friendship has sealed.

All who cherish the vision,

Make the final decision,

Struggle for justice,

peace and good will

For peoples throughout the world.

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)

Solemnly our young voices

Take the vow to be true to our cause.

We are proud of our choices,

We are serving humanity's laws.

Still the forces of evil

lead the world to upheaval.

Down with their lying!

End useless dying,

Live for a happy world.

(Chorus)

(End)

Please enjoy this PSMLS reading of L. Magyar's 1934 article "What is Fascism?" published in that year's April edition of "The Communist," the former theoretical organ of the CPUSA, and the current theoretical organ of the PCUSA. This article provides interesting insight into the perspective of the Communist International during the period of "class against class," ahead of the later "united front" period. It articulately explains the rise of fascism in Europe, as well as how German fascism was to be used as a battering ram for an invasion of the Soviet Union. We hope you learn something new!

This great piece details the Bolshevik struggle against opportunism, Trotskyism, and ideological renegades from Marxism-Leninism. M.H.C. brilliantly demonstrates how Bolshevism never was, nor could it ever be merely a 'Russian phenomena.' We hope you learn something new!

It is essential for Communists to be the most educated and knowledgable workers on the history and development of revolutionary action and struggles within their own countries. In order to ensure the best chances of victory moving forward, we must constantly educate ourselves on previous mistakes in the American labor movement which led to pitfalls and decay. Persistent and dedicated study is an essential component of ensuring that we avoid repeating past mistakes. We hope you learn something new!

Please enjoy this PSMLS reading of comrade Moses Miller's 1950 pamphlet "N*zis Preferred: The Ren*zification of Western Germany." This text masterfully exposes the preferential attitude of American finance capital towards N*zi fascists in post-WWII Germany. Capitalist media feeds us the false history that the GDR was a repressive, barbaric state, etc. If you're looking for these traits, look no further than former N*zi officials and N*zi sympathizers who helped lead the West German government with the knowledge and encouragement of the USA's government. We hope you learn something new!

Lenin from Vol. 8, No. 3 of "The Communist," the former theoretical organ of the Communist Party USA, and the current theoretical organ of the Party of Communists USA. This is a collection of passages from comrade Lenin regarding the importance of discipline, and how it is related to the functioning of a Bolshevik Party. As comrade Lenin said: "Bolsheviks could not have maintained themselves in power for two-and-a-half months, let alone two-and-a-half years, without the strictest, truly iron discipline in our Party...” ("Left-Wing" Communism: an Infantile Disorder, 1920).

The birth and founding of the Communist Party USA are intimately bound up with the study of Lenin, and the question of how the study of Lenin should be approached in the Party's work.

The third and final part of our series on current CPUSA leadership covers the "Best Things About Marxism" according to current CPUSA co-chair Joe Sims. Many comrades are entirely unaware of the distinctions between the CPUSA and the PCUSA (Party of Communists USA). We hope this detailed analysis of the writings and thoughts of Joe Sims sheds light on the key lines of demarcation between the CPUSA and the PCUSA, particularly in relation to the ideology of the working class, which is Marxism-Leninism.
