17 November, 2005: The Soviet Union Subject Archive has
created a new section on Health Care in
the Soviet Union, with the newly transcribed work: Red Medicine: Socialized
Health in Soviet Russia, by Sir Arthur Newsholme , K.C.B.,M.D. and John
Adams Kingsbury, LL.D. This book also contains material on women's issues in
particular, and the relevant chapters Soviet
Women's section have been cross-linked. Written in 1933, this book details the
travels of a British and American doctor on their 9,000 mile journey across the
Soviet Union, from Leningrad to Samara; from Minsk to Tiflis. During this two month
journey, the Doctors observed and interviewed patients and doctors in order to
develop a thorough understanding of the current state of Health Care in the Soviet
Union. In a time of great political upheavel (which is invariably the focus of
contemporary press and present-day historians), the findings of these two doctors
help reveal the largely unknown and highly sucessful workings of the early Soviet
Medical system.

13 November, 2005: The Early
American Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the
MIA has added the following 10 original documents from the history
of early American Marxism focusing mainly on the early Communist
Party .
“What Revolutionary Socialism Means,” by Carl D.
Thompson [Oct. 1903] Very explicit exposition of the term
“Revolutionary Socialism” by a leading figure in Victor
D. Berger’s Social Democratic Party of Wisconsin. Rev.
Thompson quotes Karl Kautsky at length to “settle” his
assertion that “revolutionary Socialism” has no
connection to violent overthrow of the state, but is rather a
synonym for “scientific Socialism”—meaning one who
believes in the use of “the independent political party to
capture the powers of government by a hitherto oppressed class as a
means of securing Socialism.”
To Our Russian Comrades! by Eugene V. Debs [Nov. 7, 1918] Short
salute from the Socialist Party of America’s most popular
leader to the Russian Soviet Republic and its Bolshevik leadership
in commemoration of the first year of the regime’s existence.
Lenin -- An Appreciation by Louis C. Fraina [Nov. 7, 1918]
Article from a magazine published by the Socialist Publication
Society of Brooklyn in commemoration of the first anniversary of the
Russian Revolution. Class Struggle co-editor Louis C.
Fraina provides a well-informed synopsis of the significance of V.I.
Ul’ianov (N. Lenin) as a Marxist thinker and revolutionary
leader.
(4
) “Leon Trotsky,” by Ludwig Lore [Nov. 7, 1918]
Article from a magazine published by the Socialist Publication
Society of Brooklyn in commemoration of the first anniversary of the
Russian Revolution. Class Struggle co-editor Ludwig Lore
provides an absolutely invaluable account of the ten month tenure of
Leon Trotsky in New York—Lore crediting Trotsky and his fellow
Russian expatriates with a leading role in the establishment of an
organized Left Wing faction in the Socialist Party. The list of the
Russian luminaries who assembled in a Brooklyn apartment together
with American revolutionary socialists is impressive: Trotsky,
Bukharin, Kollontai, Vorovsky... While Bukharin advocated the
immediate formation of a new organization with its own official
organ, his proposal was defeated, Lore says; instead Trotsky’s
idea to establish a Left Wing bi-monthly theoretical magazine as an
initial step was accepted—the end result being the magazine
The Class Struggle.
The White Terror. (Unsigned Reportage from
The Toiler, May 21, 1921). News report from the semi-legal press of
the United Communist Party detailing assorted acts of police
illegality and malfeasance. Lead importance is given to the arrest
of Abraham Jakira, Israel Amter, and Edward Lindgren of the UCP on
April 29, 1921—arrests made without warrant.
The American Foreign-Born Workers by Clarissa
S. Ware [Early 1923] Full text of a pamphlet published early in 1923
by the Workers Party of America. Clarissa Ware worked in the
WPA’s Research Department; this is her only publication as she
died later in 1923.
Lenin by John Pepper [Circa late January 1924] V.I.
Ul’ianov (N. Lenin) died on January 24, 1924, and the nature
of politics within the Communist movement was instantly altered. A
new word entered the lexicon -- “Leninism”—and a
mad scramble took place within the leadership of the Russian
Communist Party (bolsheviks) to define themselves as the most
dedicated adherents of this new -ism and to thus wrap up in the
mantle of authority of the departed Soviet leader.
For the United Front of Labor! A Call to
Action by the Workers Party: To All Labor Unions, All Organizations
of the Working Farmers, the Farmer-Labor Party, the Socialist Party,
the Proletarian Party, the Socialist-Labor Party, and the Industrial
Workers of the World. [Early 1924] Full text of a four page
leaflet produced by the Workers Party of America in an attempt to
unite the various political organizations of the American left in a
single united front against the “one common enemy -- the
employing class.”
Speech on Bolshevization of the American Party
to the Organizational Conference of the Communist International,
Moscow, March 18, 1925 by William Z. Foster Beginning March 15,
1925, a conference was held in Moscow, chaired by Osip Piatnitsky,
dedicated to the restructuring of Communist Parties around the world
on the basis of “factory nuclei”—so-called
“Bolshevization.”
Speech at the 5th Plenum of the Enlarged Executive Committee of the
Communist International: Second Session, March 25, 1925 by
Grigorii Zinoviev. The head of the Communist International states
his perspective on the evolving international situation, attempting
to stake out a middle position between the erroneous views of the
“prophets of collapse” and “the worshippers of
stabilization.”

6 November, 2005: The Early American
Marxism Archive in the USA History section of the
MIA has added the following 10 original documents from the history
of early American Marxism focusing mainly on the early Communist
Party’s relationship with the Communist International and the
USSR. There has been another bit of restructuring; the Language
Federation histories are much more useable now and the front page
looks a little cleaner with revised graphics. Thanks are due once
again to Andy Blunden for writing the javascript for a scrolling
menu for the Federation histories.
The Future by Eugene V. Debs [July 16, 1898]
Letter from the former head of the industrial American Railway Union
and leading participant of the Social Democracy in America to the
members of the newly-formed Social Democratic Party of America. Debs
gives his wholehearted blessing to the new political organization.
No Impossibilism for Us! by Victor L.
Berger [September 1906] A succinct philosophical manifesto of the
“constructive” Socialist political philosophy,
originally published as an editorial in the Social- Democratic
Herald by that paper's editor, Victor L. Berger. Berger declares war
upon “IWW element of our party,” of which he says that
“most of whom are as ignorant as they are fanatical and
hypocritical.”
The Secret of Efficient Expression by
Eugene V. Debs [July 8, 1911] Asked by the Education Department of
the University of Wisconsin to participate in a study of oratorical
“fertility and efficiency of expression, ” Socialist
Party agitator Eugene V. Debs responds with an autobiographical
essay on the men who shaped his conception of an orator—
Patrick Henry, John Brown, Wendell Phillips, and Robert
Ingersoll— and his path of self-education.
Decision of the National Executive Committee
on the Finnish Controversy [Dec. 13, 1914] From 1913 through
1915 a severe factional struggle raged in the Finnish Federation of
the Socialist Party, brought about when the constructive socialist
leadership of the Eastern District won control of the Executive
Committee of the Federation and editorial control of the radical
organ of the Middle District, Työmies. The left wing of the
federation withdrew their support of Työmies and established a new
daily newspaper called Sosialisti.
Report to the National Executive Committee by
Adolph Germer [circa January 1, 1917] Written report of the National
Executive Secretary of the Socialist Party of America to the members
of the National Executive Committee sent just prior to the January
6-7, 1917 NEC meeting in Chicago. Germer provides the 1903-1916
party membership series, numbers which indicated that the party's
membership slide from the time of the 1912 Convention had been
halted, although the miniscule increase was called "far from
satisfactory in view of the campaign activities.”
A New Appeal by John Reed [January 18, 1919]
Substantial essay by famed journalist John Reed about the state of
the Socialist Party and the task of the revolutionary socialist
movement in America. Reed sees a dichotomy in the ranks of the SPA
-- "American” members of the petty bourgeoisie and
intellectuals and “Foreign-born" workers and intellectuals.
A Left Wing— And Why: A Satatement of Cause and
Effect by N.S. Reichenthal [March 12, 1919] A lengthy and
intelligent letter to the editor of the New York Call seeking a
measured and open-minded approach to the emerging Left Wing Section
of the Socialist Party. Reichenthal states that he is neither with
the Left Wing and the “state within a state” in the
Socialist Party nor a blind, epithet-spewing “loyalist.”
The 1923 Foster Trial: The Reports of the WPA
Press Service [March 12 to April 10, 1923] The Workers Party of
Society Press Service covered the nearly month-long trial of William
Z. Foster in St. Joseph, Michigan exhaustively, sending out reports
of each day's events to the party press. Only a fraction of this
material was ever published in the weekly English-language organ,
The Worker, the bulk being translated and run in the
non-English daily press of the WPA. This 21-page document collects
all 25 of these reports for the first time and provides what now
stands as the best single blow- by-blow account of the landmark
Foster “Criminal Syndicalism” case.
On the Foster Trial by Grigorii Zinoviev
[circa March 29, 1923] With Secretary of the Trade Union Educational
League William Z. Foster embroiled in a trial for “criminal
syndicalism” over his participation in the August 1922
Convention of the Communist Party of America at Bridgman, MI, head
of the Communist International lends his support with this article
in the press.
Monster Political Convention of The Workers of
America, Chicago, July 3, 1923. Every Local Union, Central Body,
Farm Organization, State, National, and International Body and
Political Group Invited. A Chance at Last for Bringing About United
