On The 80th Anniversary Of The Founding Of The Leon Trotsky-Led Fourth International (1938)- *From The Pen Of American Socialist Workers Party Leader James P. Cannon- "Don't Strangle The Party (1967)"

Click on the headline to link to a "James P. Cannon Internet Archive" online copy of his 1967 polemic, "Don't Strangle The Party".


Markin comment:

On a day when I am posting an article from the archives of "Women and Revolution" about the Socialist Workers Party's various policies toward the gay liberation struggle back in the 1970s it seems appropriate to post something from historic SWP leader James P. Cannon. This is from late in his career when he was not in day-to-day charge of the organization, some of the politics are also wobbly, and a lot of the issues concern internal party political in-fighting (as was the rationale for publishing and posting it by others at later times)but the entry is still worth a look at.
