NEW YORK NOTES: FIGHT FOR A WORKERS AND FARMERS GOVERNMENT - AND A SOCIALIST AMERICA!

Vol. 1, No. 1 (ca. March 1, 1948) thru (Vol. 2, No. 17) October 24, 1949. Very scarce. [51739]

Unbroken run of 44 issues of this bi-weekly mimeographed bulletin issued by the Communist Workers Committee (Provisional) of New York City, a post-War left split from the Communist Party. This obscure group, whose contact person is one M. Brooks, is not listed as one of the "primary Left-deviationist groups" by David A. Shannon ("The Decline of American Communism"). In its pages the C.P. is consistently attacked for "surrendering to Menshevism and Social-Democracy." Questions of party-building are uppermost; the formation of a new Marxist-Leninist Communist Party is explored extensively, as in "The Main Task for American Communists" (issue of 12/20/48). A two-part article expounds on "The fight against Trotskyism." A deceased comrade, Harold Allinger (a "fighter for Bolshevism") is recalled and a long letter from him is printed, etc.
