Communist Party and POC
When the
Communist Party USA, entered its period of crisis following the Khrushchev report to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) on the crimes of Stalin, there arose within the Party in the U.S. at least four different factions. The first of these was the right wing, led by
Daily Worker editor
John Gates,
Fred Fine, and others. The second was the center grouping, led by
Eugene Dennis, the Party’s general secretary. The third was the “left,” led by
William Z. Foster,
Bob Thompson, and
Ben Davis. The fourth was the so-called “ultra-Left,” which called itself the Marxist-Leninist Caucus. It was this grouping, out of which grew the
Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party, with which
Noel Ignatin was associated.
