National Committee Meeting May 2001

The last election created a center-left electoral majority. The majority of the left worked to defeat Bush. This majority is likely to grow in the future. At the same time, unity of action has to be built with that section of the left that voted for Nader. The imperative of all-peoples unity and creating the broadest possible anti-Bush front demands this as the election fiasco clearly demonstrated.

Throughout the weekend, in many different reports, the word and subject of cadre has come up. The ability or inability to head key areas of work or build key collectives for the Party has a material impact on the role of the Party as well as our collective ability to make the contribution that history is calling upon us to make.

The political framework of the 27th Convention is shaped by the struggle against the right danger. It is an inescapable political reality that casts a long shadow over every aspect of our nation's life - politics, economics, and culture. It touches and affects nearly everything, both here and worldwide. |

Our general approach to pre-convention discussion fits with the needs of the Party and the movements: 1) the need for galvanizing the left, and left center unity, 2) the goal of deepening political ties with others, and 3) the need to emphasize the dialectical relationship between ideological struggle and organizing both the Party and the movements.

Most comrades have responded really well to changes and have been responsive to the idea that we need to take a fresh look at how we do things. So our committee was not starting from scratch. Our work is part of an ongoing discussion that has been in motion with the transition for over a year now. The process should and will continue even after the National Convention. |

The bond between the Communist Party USA and the Communist Party of Vietnam is enduring, especially as a result of the movement against the U.S. imperialist war. Yet, that bond continues to grow and flourish with time. The comradeship for our Party at the Congress was overwhelming.
