Join the PSMLS as we read passages from "Communism vs Fascism" by former CPUSA General Secretary William Z. Foster. Cold War Propaganda, which began with monopoly media moguls like William Randolph Hearst who knew the American working class hated fascist barbarism, tried to obfuscate the working class and pro-democracy movements by equating Socialism with fascism. In reality, the socialist system was the polar opposite of fascism, which is the most openly terrorist, chauvinist, and imperialist form of finance capital.

The US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6th and August 8th 1945 were the first and only time nuclear weapons were used in on a civilian population. The nuclear bombings have long been pushed as “necessary evils” by the US bourgeois state. Tonight the Peoples School along with the Asian-American Friendship Congress (aafc.us.org) seek to dispel this myth and show these acts for the atrocities they were. Through education, the peace loving Americans and the people of the world shall never be duped into supporting nuclear aggression anymore.

In this class, we read excerpts from the book Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt provided to us by New Outlook Publishers. We will discuss the Communist definition of fascism and what its defining features are. We will also discuss Communist strategies for combating fascism via an organized working class and democratic elements of other social classes as allies in the fight against fascism. As the book was initially written before the 7th Congress of the Communist International in August 1935, we supplement the text with later documents on the subject to reflect the Popular Front analysis after 1935.

Bourgeois educational and cultural institutions generally claim that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Non-Aggression Pact was an alliance between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union in their “shared conquest of Europe”. This is categorically false. The Soviet Union understood the threat of Nazism and Fascism early on and spared no effort in building an anti-fascist collective security agreement with the bourgeois democracies of Britain and France in the decade leading up to WWII. Britain and France as well as their allies refused to sign a collective security agreement and instead opted to a policy of appeasement with Hitler. To bide time in order to build up its industrial base, the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact with Germany.

The Comintern of 1935 tasked all Communists to become the patriots of their countries against fascism. We will focus on the campaign led by the Daily Worker journalist Lester Rodney, under the leadership of the Party to make “Communism 20th century Americanism,” by writing in the press, creating YCL-led picketing, and collecting petitions to integrate Black athletes into the Major Baseball League. Learn about all of the greatest names of baseball-stars of the Negro Baseball League like Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Willard “Homerun” Brown. It was the Communists that made the most vigorous effort in the fight for desegregation in America’s most loved sport.

Ultra-Leftism and Petty Bourgeois Radicalism, phenomena which have existed since the time of Marx and Lenin, have caused disruption and disunity throughout the history of the Communist movement. This class provides an introduction to Ultra-Leftism in general, and it also covers the recent Beijing Declaration on Ending Division and Strengthening Palestinian National Unity. The Beijing Declaration has united the Palestinian forces in their struggle against the genocide which the Netanyahu government in Israel is currently perpetrating.

We’ll be delving into some of the background information of Hungary before and during WW2 with the fascist Horthyite regime, as well as the conditions which led to the 1956 Counter-Revolution after WW2.
