The truth about the relations between the Marxist-Leninist Party of the USA and the Communist Party of Canada (M-L)


Letter of the CC of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) to the NC of the Central Organization of U.S. Marxist-Leninists December 5, 1979

To: The National Committee of the Central Organization of U.S. Marxist-Leninists

Dear Comrades;

We are enclosing our letter addressed to Joseph Green who claims that he speaks “for the” National Executive Committee of the Central Organization of U.S. Marxist-Leninists. As you study our letter, our views regarding the matters raised by Joseph Green for his purposes of disrupting the extremely warm and profound relations which exist between the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) and the Central Organization of U.S. Marxist-Leninists will become clear to you.

More than two years ago, we communicated to COUSML that, “Some of you are behaving like imperialist gangsters.” We are firmly convinced that Joseph Green is one such individual. Such individuals have no place in the ranks of the genuine Marxist-Leninists, let alone in any kind of leadership position.

We are writing this note to you to firmly condemn the imperialist gangster and agent-provocateur activities of Joseph Green and to call upon you to firmly repudiate the provocations which he has organized against our Party through the concoction of various lies and slanders. At the same time, we propose that a meeting of the delegation of the National Committee of the Central Organization of U.S. Marxist-Leninists and the delegation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) should take place at the soonest possible time. Until such a meeting can be convened, the CC of CPC(M-L) cannot accept your invitation to send a delegation to your Prepatory Conference for the Founding of the Marxist-Leninist Party, USA, or to the Founding Congress of the MLP, USA. Furthermore, we will not participate in any meeting which will include Joseph Green or in any meeting where any provocations are organized against our Party.

We urge you to pay serious attention to our proposal and inform us at the earliest possible time of your response.

With sincere greetings,
Central Committee, CPC(M-L),
December 5, 1979.
