Youth Take Communist Leaflets to Garment Workers

BIGGER    SMALLER

SAN SALVADOR, Dec. 1—As we had agreed, (see article below) the young people went to distribute leaflets to the workers in the factories where ICWP is organizing. We distributed 300 leaflets denouncing the bosses’ abuses and the way they pressure the workers to produce more.
This is a very important step. It was the first time a club made up of youth from the capital carried out this kind of action. Young students and workers are organizing and taking communist ideas to the workers. From making the copies, to the distribution, it was all organized by these youth to ICWP.
 “What did you think? What did you like?  What do we need to improve?” I asked them.
A young worker who distributes drinking water said, “To me it seemed very good, only that next time we should bring more leaflets.”
The student said, “To me it also seemed good, but I think we should go to other factories too. These problems happen all over the country.”
The young worker added to this: “It’s true. For example, in Lourdes every one gets off at the same time. I would get on the buses to speak.”
The distribution was very fast. Three hundred leaflets weren’t enough for the thousands of hands of workers leaving work. It was a good experience since these youth are coming closer to the party and are open to communist ideas.
 “I say that it was good, but I don’t know how the people will react to communism,” said the third youth. I explained that it is not the first time that we have gone there talking about communism. That ICWP is known in the factory and the people identify with our literature because we expose their reality to the other workers.
 “I didn’t know that. I would have really liked it if someone had produced a leaflet like this when I worked in the call center. I would have told the others, “Hey, look. Let’s do something. We have to support these people.”
We will continue enthusiastically working for a communist future for the working class.
