without giving us any indication that
he has any understanding OF the cause
or any conception that cause for the
effect exists. We will here consider
a few of his statements and then sum
up.
He states: "Of course, they (the
reds) to do say in so many words that
nobody but workingmen shall be men,
bers of the party, but they might as
we'll so state the case, as no person
WHO HAS A SPARK OF MANHOOD
about him will take a second class
membership in any organization"
What kind of piffle is this? Who
e7er heord nf apvhody making use of
such terms as mo person who has
spark of manhood about him., while
making a scientific study of society
and the great class struggle with its
revolutionary class organizations?
A revolutionary subject class in So
ciety is under no obligation whatever
to seek in any form, the consent of
any other class, as to just how the
subject class shall emancipate itself.
The working class is beginning to be-
come really class conscious and I'M
derstand that it, as a class, has no
interests in common with any other
class that lives off it from interest,
rent and profit or from parasitical &C.
equations. If the working class finds
that the activity of people from the
capitalist classes are a hamper and
workers in an organization intended
to be used for working class interests
alone the workers will certainly en-
force their own code of right and
either cease to offer inducements
through the opportunity to secure Of
flee, to members of the other class to
come into a working class organiza-
ton, or deny them the right altogeth-
err to become members of an organiZa-
ton that is not in harmony with up
per class interests. These upper class
we will allow it they will take over
the whole machine. The result will
be that these people will reflect their
own class interests to the detriment
of the workers interests. If one EN-
ployer can REPRESENT the interests
of the workers then two can do like
wise; if two employers can perform
this article then twenty can do so; if
twenty employers can represent the
interests of the working class then we
just as we'll turn the whole thing over
to them and go to sleep, wake up some
day and find ourselves emancipated
by the grace of our age long masters.
Let me tip to you gently. We can
get that kind of moonshine in any OF
the old capitalist parties.
Let me further suggest that class
conscious workers hold the above
views BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOW
BECOME CONSCIOUS OF THEIR
CLASS INTERESTS. We have
strike breakers, newspaper prostitutes
and sky gazers because these work
ers have no conception of their class
interests and are still under the spell
of the ruling class tutelage.
I wish to point out, before going
further that the above ideas have
grown and reached their highest de-
yelopmeut i'm the state Of Washington
where the large percentage of the So
cialist vote per population has also
reached it's highest development for
am industrial community of like size
and density of population.
That argument about Karl Marx be-
ing barred from activity by the above
process win not hold water nor fine
sand. Marx was pre-emiuenuy "a stud
emit with the power of stupeudous an-
aIvsis of the machine wage slave. A
whole world fun of Marzes without
the machine wage slave would not get.
