Click on title to link to James P. Cannon's article (in the form of letters in 1954 to historian of the early American Communist Party, Theodore Draper)about the political perspective of William Z. Foster in the early days when they were political associates. Very interesting reading about Foster's political appetites and direction early on.

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.
Cannon was similar to Foster, as being good organizers and trade unionists. Unfortunately most of the early communist movement, went the way of Zinoviev. They were empirist. Differences dealt with bureaucratically. The Communist International suffered that way.
