I have been writing a research paper on American communism and labor unions in the 30s. I need a good half page. Wondering if anybody could give one of their ideas or feelings about the subject. I will quote you and thank you for helping me out of a bind. Thanks.

I find American communism to be a contradiction in terms
and although there has existed communist thought has
existed on American soil it has largely been confined to
isolated pockets of liberal intellectuals and even though
there are countless professors of communism today,they
restrict themselves to individual intellectualism and to a
vulgar scholasticism which proposes concrete principles
of socialist thought while denying the reality of dialectics
which support a sudden change in society by means of
revolutionary action as the inevitable result of a peoples
protest against an injust system.Labor unions are but
another example of imperialism at play,labor leaders are
no better than bourgeois politicians,they exploit,extort,
and embezzle union funds,they hunger for power and
wealth,and care for their pockets rather than the welfare of the workers.As it has been said,left to themselves the people can achieve nothing more than a trade union conscious,thus the need of a hardened core
of revolutionary agitators to awake the masses.-Karo

karo chevez, well put i am also doing a bit of studying on this matter and im glad to know im headed in a fair direction with my interpretations.
im getting ready to put together a thesis on che guevara on why i believe him not to be the "communist" every says that he is. this site just makes me realize more and more some of the challenges he may have faced. after a while you just say: to heck with it all im going to do what i must do and call me what you will, i wont argue! (ah, im insane, i know) :(
