[Repost from Revolutionary Left Radio] - This episode aims to serve as an introduction to the Trade Union Educational League (TUEL) which was the vehicle through which the communists in the U.S. from 1920-1935 aimed to base themselves amongst the proletariat and transform the labor movement into, as Marx said, an "organizing centre of the working class for its broad interest of complete emancipation." We focus particularly on the TUEL's activity from 1920-1929.

Topics discussed are the need for revolutionary theory for a revolutionary movement, the role of the industrial proletariat in a proletarian socialist struggle, the shortcomings of William Z. Foster's prior two syndicalist leagues that operated from 1912-1917, and the work of TUEL militants in the mining, needle trades, and textile industries.
