	Discovering John Reed by Howard Zinn excerpted from the book Howard Zinn on History
		John Reed could not be forgiven by the Establishment (nor even by some of its critics, like Walter Lippmann and Eugene O'Neill) for refusing to separate art and insurgency, for being not only rebellious in his prose but imaginative in his activism.
		Reed went to Lawrence, Massachusetts, where women and children had walked out of the textile mills and were carrying on a heartrending, heroic strike with the help of the IWW (the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World) and the Socialist Party.
		Reed was distressed by the way the working classes in Europe and America were supporting the war and forgetting the class struggle.

		The John Reed Club recognizes that it was a serious error to have invited Diego Rivera and provided him a forum for his opportunism.
		Since the John Reed Club meeting Rivera, who professes to be an adherent of Trotsky, has further proved his "revolutionary" character by speaking before the Lovestone group of renegades from Communism, before the social-fascist Rand School, and various bourgeois circles.
		The John Reed Club declares that the ideals for which it stands, have nothing in common with the "ideals" of the man who sold out everything for which he had stood for a job with the Mexican government.

	The John Reed Clubs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Named after muckraking journalist and radical John Reed, these short-lived clubs were aligned with the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and intended primarily to foster young leftist talent.
		The club was being torn by competing demands for its resources from both its members and the Communist Party, which put its journal, and Wright's most accessible outlet, in continuous jeopardy.
		In September 1934, at the John Reed Clubs' second national congress, the Communist Party handed down the decision that the clubs were to be disbanded.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: John Kerry's Stalinist Campaign Slogan by Barbara Kay
		In the last days before the Democratic National Convention, John Kerry and John Edwards adopted a campaign slogan: “Let America Be America Again.” They were clearly pleased by its provenance, as the first line of a poem written by fl poet Langston Hughes (1902-67).
		He joined the (Marxist) John Reed Club, and took on the job as director of the pro-Communist Suitcase Theatre, where Whittaker Chambers was also involved.
		Clearly, the fact that John Kerry and John Edwards have allowed the tenor of their presidential campaign to be set by a propaganda poem written by a well-known Stalinist is troubling.

		In spite of the inconsistency of his political convictions, from early activities with the John Reed Club on, Phillips and Phillip Rahv co-founded P.R. in 1934.
		It was through an abstract painter with an independent income, George L. Morris, a friend of the Literary editor of The New Masses F. Dupee, that P.R. was finally set free from the constant pressure to subordinate itself to the ideology of the John Reed Club, which was then supported by the Communist Party.
		Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Hardwick, John Hollander, and James Dickey were among young Americans whose early work was printed in P.R. During the 1960-70’s, P.R. was published under the auspices of Rutgers University and Boston University.
