The use of The Transformation of Learning pamphlet as a central piece of the circulation effort and the Socialist Workers 2000 election campaign has been a step forward. Its political explanations provide a working-class framework for understanding the consequences of the bipartisan assault by the U.S. capitalist rulers. In some cities, workers who purchased the booklet have asked for classes to discuss the politics in it.

As socialist workers have become more integrated into the working-class resistance today, they have met an identifiable layer of vanguard workers who are open to the need for a revolution in this country and the need to join the communist movement.

The key to taking advantage of these palpable openings is to organize consistent, cumulative work with the Militant, Perspectiva Mundial, and Pathfinder books. This means taking these political tools to wherever workers and farmers are in action--from the nationwide protests by airline workers to union meetings by textile workers responding to the bosses' "bankruptcy" moves. And it means setting up literature tables in workers districts every week, in the same locations, meeting and becoming known by a growing number of working people.

Through these efforts, interested workers and young people can be brought to Militant Labor Forums, classes, labor and farm actions, and other political activities. This includes following up with the hundreds of new readers of the socialist press who are interested in discussing the political questions they are reading about every week in the Militant or Perspectiva Mundial. Many of them are among those seeking not only answers but a political organization that can be part of a revolutionary fight to change the world.
