advocating the organization of workers defense guards 8ulyanovistSeptember 21 2004, 22:58:35 UTC
Q: But in the meanwhile you want to build, do you not a workers’ militia? A: A workers’ defence guard, yes. Q: I mean, not alone for the purpose of defending the union halls, but for other purposes, isn’t that right? Don’t you want to build, while you are advancing toward power, a workers’ militia? To help you when you get into power? A: We use the expression “workers’ defence guard” because that is most American and most easily and precisely defines what we want The workers’ defence guards will grow in size and strength insofar as the guards have a task to perform, not because we want them to grow. If the fascists grow and fight the unions, the unions must inevitably counter that movement by developing their defence guards, and if the defence guards are overpowered by fascist gangsters and hoodlums and thugs, the only answer of the unions can be to strengthen the guards, and in the course of that struggle between the fascist gangs and the workers’ defence guards, we hope the workers, defence guards will grow strong and eventually become a very effective power.
