This is the one statement I disagree with.   I see no evidence of this at 
all.  Why not spontaneously fascist,  gangsterish, opportunist, 
cannonfodderish, passive?

>Further it is  the most poverty stricken sector of the proletariat that is
>truly  communistic in its spontaneous class striving.  


Comment
 
I accept disagreements. 
 
People who demand something to eat, housing, education, transportation,  even 
if they have no money to pay for these things, are spontaneously demanding  
means of subsistence outside the law of buying and selling of their labor as a  
precondition to eating. That is my meaning. An instance of this that shocked  
America was the evidence in the wake of the hurricanes that uprooted a 
million  or more people. 
 
World wide the most poverty stricken - a huge section of humanity living  off 
of less than 5 dollars a day are demanding socially necessary means of life  
in a scattered and haphazard way. It is the role of communist to make this  
unconscious spontaneous striving a conscious political force.
