FIGHT FOR COMMUNISM!
	International Communist Workers Party

SEATTLE, US—“When I bring up communism with my neighbor there is that fear factor,” said a Boeing Red Flag reader.
“So how do we change that [the anti-communism]?” asked the comrade whom he was talking to during the afternoon break.
“First you need a movement, then commitment and dedication,” our friend answered.
“More than a movement, we need a mass communist party,” suggested our comrade.  “The party needs media that talk about what communism really is. To be dedicated you need enthusiasm. To be enthusiastic you have to know how communism works.”
“Yeah, that’s why Sanders didn’t win. He identified problems, but he didn’t have a solution.”
“Part of the solution is if workers like you join the party. Contribute what you can. Commitment and dedication will come from political work on-the-job.”
Our friend became curious. “Do you have meetings of members from different cities?” he asked.
“Sure we do. We have International Committee meetings a few times each year. We discuss our practice and line.”
“I mean in the U.S.”
“Of course we do. I just came back from one.”
“Good, I was just wondering how the party worked.”
“Come to the next meeting. You can see for yourself what communists talk about.”
“You haven’t forgotten about October?” he asked. We had already talked about bringing both our extended families together to distribute communist ICWP literature at a big demonstration organized by forces loyal to the Democratic Party. He wanted to firm up our plans and schedule a dinner afterward to evaluate our efforts.
Our friend used to be heavy into the union and elections. No longer! Now he thinks about communism and the party. He’s talking to his neighbors and fellow workers about communism.
Is he the only one? Hardly! That’s why the New York Times is calling on the Democratic Party to emphasize anti-communism and anti-working class ideas during the presidential election.
The newspaper reprinted a particularly vicious anti-communist part of Obama’s convention speech four days running. He lumped together “Fascists and communists, jihadists and homegrown demagogues.” A few days later, Vice President Biden was widely quoted as saying that Trump “would have loved Stalin.”
Make no mistake about it, when the bosses equate communism with fascism, they do more than lie. They aim to create fear of communism.

The best answer to anti-communism is more communism.
Our paper and party must double-down on showing what communism really is. From Boeing workers to new recruits and thousands of Red Flag readers in India and South Africa, there is a real thirst for this knowledge.
If you overcome the bosses’ anti-communist propaganda and want to mobilize for communism, whom can you turn to? Certainly not angry workers, according to the media.
 The New York Times purposely posted video cataloging racist, xenophobic outbursts from “uneducated workers” at Trump rallies. The rest of the bosses’ media followed suit. They create the impression that rebelling workers can only move in a rightwing, fascist direction.
They want political activists (and potential communists) to turn away from the working class. This anti-worker sentiment can affect even workers in the factories. Another Boeing Red Flag reader said he didn’t know whom to trust in the shop after seeing a TV news report from a Trump rally. His friends assured him he could trust them.
Comrades suggested we expand Red Flag networks. Red Flag reports on the mass revolts in the streets everywhere in the world since the capitalist economic crisis began in 2008. Hundreds of millions are looking for answers. Red Flag shows how communism is that answer.
The ruling class responds to worker unrest by building anti-communism and fear of workers. We bring communist enthusiasm to these revolts and our daily lives.
The bosses are worried and they should be! We, on the other hand, have a world to win. Join us!
