Of all the classes that stand face to face with the bourgeoisie today, the proletariat is the one thoroughly revolutionary class. In the U.S.A., the proletariat forms both the motor and leading force of revolution. Yet without its political party, the proletariat can neither lead the revolution nor set it in motion. Only under the leadership of this party can the proletariat fulfill its historical mission: the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and guiding the transition to communism. The CPUSA, which in the past struggled to play such a role, has repudiated all revolutionary principle and become a party of the modern revisionist type. A new Party must be built.
The Proletarian Unity League is a communist organization dedicated to working together with other communist organizations and with all revolutionary-minded workers, freedom fighters from the movements of the oppressed nationalities and others to bring that Party into being. We do not think that the line or the practice of any single organization in the communist movement (including the several existing parties) provides the basis at the present time for the construction of a genuine multinational communist party. The construction of a unified, revolutionary proletarian Party, guided by Marxism-Leninism-Mao-Tsetung Thought, remains the primary objective of all revolutionaries in this period.
