LOS ANGELES – We had a fellow comrade visit us from El Salvador.  He spoke to us about ICWP and why he became a communist.  He explained to us what communism was and how it works. 
In communism we will all have our necessities met.  The working class will be in charge of running the factories themselves. There will be no bosses.  To achieve a communist world a long revolution will be necessary and many lives will be lost.
His speech made us well aware of the injustices that are occurring in the world.  For example, there are Nike factories in El Salvador where workers can’t afford to buy the items they produce.
“These workers are exploited by their capitalist bosses and are paid poor wages,” said a student comrade who had just joined the Party. 
Another student comrade talked about bringing Red Flag to one particular garment sweatshop in Los Angeles where 300 workers take the paper. 

“Growing up, my parents were communists and when I grew older I understood why, because of all the injustice in the world,” said our comrade from El Salvador. 
A student asked, “How will gangs and violence be handled?”
“Gangs are a product of capitalism and often times they are people who are fighting themselves, but once they make peace or form a truce, capitalist agents like the police are sent in to break up that peace,” said the visiting comrade. 
“In a communist world, neither a government nor the police will be an issue,” said another student comrade.  
There was a student who didn’t agree with communism for one major reason.  He wanted to become rich but in communism money will no longer exist.  However, people who haven’t witnessed or understood all of the injustices that capitalism causes don’t understand why we need communism. 
“All the money that exists will be burned as we get closer to communism,” a student declared.
“We will fight for communism because it will benefit us all,” added another.
Another important point made by our visiting comrade was that, in the past, there was never a lack of people who wanted to eliminate capitalism and set up a communist world.  He stressed that the mistake was the line (the political direction and leadership) that was put forward.  This is why it becomes vital that we all fight, guarantee and develop the correct line.

This meeting was an example of constructing communist solidarity internationally.  International solidarity must be based on communist principles and ideas that will move forward the construction of a mass international communist party. 
An important principle in this process is mobilizing the masses for communism.  An important idea is the elimination of wage slavery.
Every student, worker and soldier all over the world needs to fight for this solidarity.  All need to mobilize their friends and family for a different world where education, mines, agriculture, transportation and all of the centers of production will be in the hands of the workers. 
All the decisions that need to be made will be made collectively by men and women, including youth, to satisfy to the maximum the well-being of all.  Everything will be done to satisfy human need, not the bosses’ profits. 
The meeting with the comrade from El Salvador was an important step in the development of international communist consciousness among the students.  There are now plans for a conference call between Party youth in Los Angeles and South Africa.
