WHAT LEADING
SOCIALISTS SAY

pass away.
This passing of one class govern
ment 20 make way for a new class
government We call revolution"
Sometimes Il is bloody, as in the
French revolution. and sometimes It
is peaceful. as In the English revo-
luton Of 1855. Both OF these revo-
lutions marked the passing OF feu-
dalism and the coming of capital
ism. The new governments repre-
scented the new modern economic
class known as the bourgeois, or
capitalist class
This explains how the socialist
views the Russian revolution now
In progress. The Romanoff dynasty
once stood for the feaudal system.
which has fingered longest in Rus
STA IL now stands neither for the
peasant class nor for the growing
wage class. nor even for the rising
capitalist class. II therefore must
GO II stands for no class In So
ciety.
What will be the outcome7 Prob
ably the class OF small capitalists.
the zemstvo class. will get recogni-
ton and representation in the gov
eminent on some kind OF a consti-
tutional basis. The wage korktng
class is not yet sufficiently devel-
oped to win and rule In Russia.
though their revolutionary instincts
are forcing the present conflict. AS
in the French revolution of AS and
again In the commune OF II. the
working class will bear the brunt.
but the middle class will reap tho
fruits.
