Be it resolved, that
1. The present Point 18 be replaced by the following:
The chief responsibility of US revolutionaries is to overthrow US imperialism while fighting against all imperialism.
2. The OCIC instruct the Steering Committee to initiate a six-month nationwide theoretical study/struggle over party-building line, for the purposes of deepening our understanding of the danger of ultra-“left”ism, clarifying our party-building strategy, and determining the relationship between particular political lines and the party-building process.
3. The OCIC instruct the Steering Committee to immediately make preparations for a national theoretical study/struggle over the class nature of the USSR which would commence upon conclusion of the study on party-building line.
4. The OCIC instruct the Steering Committee to make preparations for the study of the international situation during the time the USSR study is being conducted. The nation-wide theoretical study/struggle over the international situation would be conducted after completion of the USSR study (with some overlap). The study/struggle would be conducted under the leadership of the SC and a conference would be held upon its completion to unify around a common perspective.
5. The OCIC instruct the Steering Committee to take all necessary steps to see that during these study/struggle campaigns, that other work in the OC moves forward. Specifically, the OCIC should move forward with plans for its national minority conference, should continue and increase joint trade-union work, should build a national health-struggle conference and should consider doing coordinated national anti-racist, anti-imperialist, and/or anti-sexist campaigns, etc.
[1] WUO did not reveal their opposition to the content of Principle 18 until the conclusion of the conference they attended. This was in violation of the decision of the founding meeting of the OC that if a group came to the conclusion that it opposed the content of Principle 18, it should state such and withdraw from the OC.
