Please enjoy this PSMLS reading of A. Landy's 1929 article "The Right of Revolution: An American Revolutionary Tradition" published in that year's July edition of "The Communist," the former theoretical organ of the CPUSA, and the current theoretical organ of the PCUSA. Landy lays out a brilliant case as to why the right of revolution is indeed an American tradition, as well as why it is important to study and learn from our own revolutionary history. Going forward, it is our duty as working-class Americans to struggle for a workers' government, the only government that can truly be "of the people, by the people, and for the people."
