Scope and Content of Collection
Albert Glotzer had a career as an American socialist leader that was notable both for its long duration and for the number
of bases touched in the course of his evolution from communism to social democracy. It included a significant role in the
beginning of American Trotskyism. By profession Glotzer was a court reporter, a skill he put to use in transcribing the proceedings
of the commission chaired by John Dewey to investigate the Moscow Trial charges, which heard lengthy testimony from Leon Trotsky
in hearings in Mexico City in 1937. For several years Glotzer was president of the Federation of Shorthand Reporters. In his
earlier years he used the pseudonym Albert Gates in party work.
The collection is arranged in four series corresponding to four distinct phases of Glotzer's political life. The
Communist Period Papers consist of his papers as a member of the Workers (Communist) Party and of its youth group, the Young Workers (Communist)
League. Glotzer joined the youth league in 1923 and the adult party two years later, both at precocious ages, and became a
member of the national committee of the youth league. He was expelled from both youth league and party in 1928 as a Trotskyist.
The
Trotskyist Period Papers consist of Glotzer's papers as a member of the Communist League of America (1928-1934), of the Workers Party of the United
States (1934-1936), of the Socialist Appeal Caucus of the Socialist Party (1936-1937), and of the Socialist Workers Party
(1938-1940). These were successively the first organizational expressions in the United States of the international communist
opposition movement led by Leon Trotsky. The papers document Glotzer's meetings with Trotsky in Europe and his participation
in the Dewey Commission hearings, the formation of the Communist League of America, its merger with the American Workers Party
to form the Workers Party of the United States, Trotskyist entry into and exit from the Socialist Party, establishment of
the Socialist Workers Party, and the full-scale faction fight that rent the party when the onset of World War II acutely posed
the question of Soviet defense. Glotzer was a member of the national committees of all the American Trotskyist organizations
of this period.
The
Shachtmanite Period Papers consist of Glotzer's papers as a member of the Workers Party (1940-1949) and of the Independent Socialist League (1949-1958).
These were the successive organizations of the group led by Max Shachtman which split from the Socialist Workers Party in
1940. Their departure with a substantial proportion of the membership capped the intraparty dispute over the "Russian question"
in which Trotsky defined the Stalinized Soviet Union as a "degenerated workers' state," while Shachtman maintained that it
had ceased to be a workers' state of any description and eventually settled upon "bureaucratic collectivist" as a label to
categorize it. The possibility of reunifying the rival parties resulting from the split remained open and a subject of discussion
for several years. Instead, the Shachtmanites, as they came to be called, ultimately evolved in a social democratic direction
and disbanded in 1958. Glotzer was a member of the national committees of the Shachtmanite groups as well as editor of the
newspaper Labor Action and of the theoretical journal The New International.
The papers document the Workers Party's relationship with the Socialist Workers Party, its transition to Independent Socialist
League, and its campaign for removal from the Attorney General's subversive organizations list.
The
Social Democratic Period Papers consist of Glotzer's papers as a member of the Socialist Party (1958-1972) and of its successor, Social Democrats, U.S.A.
(1972-1999). Glotzer was a member of the national committees of these organizations, in which he, along with Shachtman and
other former members of their group, came to play a leading role. The papers document their activities and influence, controversies
within the Socialist Party at the time of the Vietnam War and the 1972 presidential election, and the transition to Social
Democrats, U.S.A., while an opposing faction led by Michael Harrington split away. The series is also pertinent to Glotzer's
earlier political history. In his later years he was conscious of being one of the last surviving personal associates of Leon
Trotsky and one of the last surviving veterans of the formative period of the Trotskyist movement. He sought to record and
evaluate his experiences in his book Trotsky: Memoir and Critique (published in 1989), in shorter writings, and in an extensive
and patient correspondence with a younger generation of historians of the American left.
Each of these series is subdivided in a similar manner, with a typical succession being: correspondence; speeches and writings
by Glotzer; minutes, internal bulletins, other internal documents, and public issuances of the organizations to which he belonged
during the period; contemporaneous issuances of other organizations; and miscellaneous or subject file material.
There is a fifth series of
Photographs.
