Topic: League for the Revolutionary Party


  
  League for the Revolutionary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The League for the Revolutionary Party was founded by a faction of the now defunct Revolutionary Socialist League in 1973.
The LRP took from the RSL a strong stress on the need for a Leninist party and coupled this with an emphasis on the general strike tactic.
They also developed their own version of what is called "state capitalist theory" to explain the class nature of the USSR and similar states.

 Workers Action Polemic with LRP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The revolutionary proletarian party is needed in order for the workers to fully assert their class independence, their leadership over the struggles of the impoverished masses as a whole, and to fight for state power.

 The Workers League and the founding of the Socialist Equality Party
In reviving the labor party demand, the Workers League was striving to reassert the central and leading role of the American working class in the struggle against US capitalism and, at the same time, to elaborate a viable strategy for the development of the revolutionary movement.
Moreover, the way in which the call for the labor party was formulated as a "demand" addressed to the trade union bureaucracy carried with it the danger of subordinating the Workers League to the maneuvers of that bureaucracy.
Briefly, in presenting this party to the working class, we must explain that its goal is the establishment of a workers government: and by that we mean a government for the workers, of the workers and by the workers.

Lenin was, of course, well aware of national privilege and national oppression, but he rejected (or refused to recognize) the legitimacy of such disparities, just as he rejected the notion that some people (aristocrats) are entitled to special social status.
One Asian comrade powerfully stated she had left the Labour Party precisely because it supported immigration controls, and she expected the SLP to oppose all the capitalist parties’ immigration laws.
In America it is impossible." We would like to be able to consider the LRP an exception to this rule, and to this end, suggest that you either substantiate your allegation that we have a "chauvinist position on immigrants" which we have "every reason to be ashamed of," or withdraw it.

LRP: "Here is how Hall puts it: "'In my article I illustrated Lenin's opposition to a bourgeois standing army with a quote from 1916: "On the question of a militia, we should say: We are not in favor of bourgeois militia; we are in favor only of a proletarian militia.
The lack of a mass revolutionary party and the fact very few youth probably had the slightest idea of how to oppose the war from inside the military were probably among the reasons.

Healy argued that a "Pre-revolutionary or revolutionary situation" and "the possibility of the rapid crystallisation of the revolutionary tendency" was imminent.

 LRP Exposes Itself
Given that the Trotskyist Spartacist League and the LRP were literally on opposite sides of the barricades during Cold War II, much of the debate necessarily had the quality of ships passing in the night.
The LRP’s call for unlimited immigration and before that for open borders is basically a call on the imperialist nation-state to dissolve itself—not unusual for a group that calls on the bourgeois state to provide full employment and even to expropriate itself.
The LRP’s hostility to the degenerated and deformed workers states is a reflection of its hostility to Leninism and to the fight for a Leninist vanguard party to lead the proletariat to power.

 Spartacist Speaker at LRP Debate: We Are the Party of the Russian Revolution!
The League for the Revolutionary Party is a centrist, fake-Trotskyist organization—that is, revolutionary in words but opportunist in deeds—and an obstacle in the path of proletarian revolution.
In the late 1960s, when the radical-nationalist League of Revolutionary Black Workers refused to hand out their leaflets at Detroit auto factories to white workers, this was a big blow against working-class unity, and a missed opportunity to win them to a program of revolutionary struggle.
The LRP expresses the petty-bourgeois despair about breaking Hebrew-speaking workers from their rulers—which is not going to happen overnight and as we pointed out is going to require massive class struggles in that region.

But Party members recall that in a regime known for its harshness and ‘discipline’ Norman always treated them fairly and had a kind word, even after sleepless days and nights printing or dispatching the party’s publications.
His account is the only one written by a participant in the explosion that expelled Party leader Gerry Healy from the WRP in 1985.

 Swedish FRP on anti-Marxist-Leninist dogmas of Trotskyism
The very concept of "bourgeois workers' party" was, in Lenin's usage, not, as with a good many "Trotskyists", almost dualistic with emphasis on "worker's", but rather a dialectical unity of contradictions: both a bourgeois and a workers' party.
A mass revolutionary proletarian party can only arise out of the soil of innumerable struggles, but there is no guarantee that any particular period of struggle will give rise to a revolutionary mood among the masses, or to the establishment or growth of a proletarian party.
It requires examining revolutionary strategy and tactics not mainly to deal with who was right in the disputes of such and such a moment, but dealing with the main principles underlying social development and revolutionary tactics.

 From LRP 16 January 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
We would say an organization or group of individuals committed to Bolshevism and socialist revolution but without a theoretically advanced program is at the stage of a study group, such as the one Lenin organized in Petersburg in the mid-1890s.
At such a stage, "public work" such as issuing leaflets in the name of the group at mass events would not even be on the table.
But such an understanding can only be arrived at through dedicated work on both sides, by revolutionary socialists who see that developing the Bolshevik program is the essential first step in building the revolutionary party based on a clear program as the essential ingredient capable of leading the working class in getting rid of capitalism.

The Workers Revolutionary Party (one of the fragments of Gerry Healy's party, led by Sheila Torrance);
Our task is to generalise the revolutionary experience of the working class, to purge the movement of the corroding admixtures of opportunism and social-patriotism, to unify the efforts of all genuinely revolutionary parties of the world proletariat and thereby facilitate and hasten the victory of the Communist revolution throughout the world.
Such a forced march to form an international and construct revolutionary parties in the midst of ongoing revolutionary upheavals was possible only with the tremendous political authority of the Bolsheviks.

*The election was boycotted by the Somali Independent Constitutional Party (HDMS) and the Greater Somali League (GSL).

The purpose of our polemic is to encourage debate capable of furthering internationalist regroupment, and enhancing comprehension of the revolutionary process in Argentina, and most importantly, encouraging acts of solidarity with it.
The workers so far have thrust these parties to the forefront, the Partido Obrero's work in the Polo Obrero in particular, as a principled united front, has brought the struggle forward, given it organization and discipline.
And second, that if the Polo Obrero has grown in the last period, principally among unemployed workers, that is due to concrete conditions of the Argentine class struggle, not to a whim of the PO leadership.

Members of the LRP frequently attend the meetings and conferences of other far-left groups in an attempt to polemicize and draw away recruits.
They focus most on the International Socialist Organization, who share a common socialist forebear, and on the Spartacist League, who share their argumentative approach to the rest of the far left.
In the 2003 and 2004 protests against the America-led war on Iraq, the League for a Revolutionary Party attended, but did little independent organizing.
