Logic of Neo-Browderism, Communist Workers' University; archive of Earl Browder's writing

Browder was probably anticipating the imprisoning of the CP leadership and McCarthyite assault on the party and Democratic Party allies when he proposed liquidating the Party as a political party , and becoming an Educational Association , a sort of University of the Working class NOT VYING FOR STATE POWER ( Eventually the CPUSA essentially became such an educational organization because it was was forced out of electoral politics through government abuse of the criminal law against the Party ) . Browder himself was imprisoned in 1943(?),and this was while the US and USSR were allies in WWII ! so he anticipated the Red Purge of the late 40's early 50's. As far as Browderism as revision of Marxism, I just realized in re-reading parts of the Manifesto of the Communist Party "The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to the other working-class parties."

Marx and Engels say Marxists do not form separate parties.

Engels and Marx envision Communists as a SECTION of working-class parties "

The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the most advanced and resolute section of the working-class parties of every country, that section which pushes forward all others; on the other hand, theoretically, they have over the great mass of the proletariat the advantage of clearly understanding the line of march, the conditions, and the ultimate general results of the proletarian movement."

" "The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to the other working-class parties."

Marx and Engels say Marxists do not form separate parties.

So it is DuClos who is the revisionist.

Notice the Bolsheviks ,BEFORE TAKING STATE POWER, we're not a separate party, but a section of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. RSDLP-Bolshevik .

|||||Browder  "While Earl Browder was one of the top leaders of American Communism during the so-called Third Period of the early 1930s, he came into his own during the interval which followed, the era of the Popular Front against fascism. With the rise of Adolf Hitler to Chancellor of Germany-at the end of January 1933, the balance of power in Europe was shifted. Formerly home to one of the most powerful Communist organizations, the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) was quickly suppressed. The failure of the KPD to cooperate with workers adhering to the rival Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) was seen by many Comintern officials as a major contributing factor to the disaster. New tactics building a broad alliance in opposition to fascism was indicated.

"Browder was an enthusiastic supporter of this new party line. By the middle of 1934 the Browder-led Central Committee of the CPUSA was leading its youth section, the Young Communist League, to establish a working alliance with the youth section of the rival Socialist Party, the Young People's Socialist League.[22] In the same vein, Browder himself picked up hints from Socialist Party leader Norman Thomas that joint work between Socialists and Communists might be possible on specific issues, in reply to which Browder issued a letter formally proposing a large scale united front of the two organizations.[22]

Still estimating President Franklin D. Rooseveltas a fascist dictator in the making, Browder and the Communists began to examine their political isolation from the American working class and to envision the establishment of a new labor party which would include both Communists and Socialists within its ranks.[23]In December 1934 Browder won Comintern approval for his anti-sectarian plan, arguing his case in person in Moscow ( where he lived and studied; including marrying a Soviet woman).

Browder returned to the United States at the end of the month, presenting his plan to party membership in a public speech delivered on January 6, 1935.[24]

The Socialist Party, for its part, remained skeptical, having been in of a decade of struggle with the CP".
