From The Pen Of James P.Cannon-The 50th Annoversary Of The Russian Revolution (1967)"

Click on title to link to James P. Cannon's speech on the 50th anniversary of the Russian revolution fro the Prometheus Research Library's "James P. Cannon and the Early Years Of American Communism". Cannon, my friends, is where I first came across the notion long ago that we were seeking to build (and still are, or need to) an organization based on the premises of the Russian Revolution-"We Are The Party Of The Russian Revolution". Thanks Brother Cannon.

This Commentary is part of a series under the following general title: Labor’s Untold Story- Reclaiming Our Labor History In Order To Fight Another Day-And Win!

As a first run through, and in some cases until I can get enough other sources in order to make a decent presentation, I will start with short entries on each topic that I will eventually go into greater detail about. Or, better yet, take my suggested topic and run with it yourself.

Foster in the early days when they were political associates. Very interesting reading about Foster's political appetites and direction early on.
