Frederick Engels in his epoch max
ing hook, Socialism, Utopian and
Scientific, wrote "Like every new
theory, modern Socialism had at first
to connect itself with the INTELLECTUAL
stock-in trade at it's hand however
deeply its roots lay in the material
economic facts"
Hence, the above statement served
as a true measure in all countries
of those humanitarians and middle
class intellectuals imbued with the
eighteenth century philosophy, that
reason is the sole measure of every
thing. So quote Engels, ut was the
time as Hegel says, the world stoo'
upon it's head" These humanitarians
and philosophers sought to mitigate
the horrors resulting from exploita-
tion of one class by another, and
the condemnation of millions of hu-
man beings into misery and degreda-
tion by handful of small capitalists
and landlords.

THE EARLY uTopIAs.

Then came the three great Utopiani
Saint Simon, Fourier and Robert
Owen. One thing is common to all
three, not one of them appears as
representative of the interest Of
the proletariat, which historic de-
velopment, had in the mean time
Produced" says Engels.
These utopian ideas of emancipat-
ing not a particular class but the
whole of suffering humanity trans
planted thruout the civilized coun-
tries touched our continentfas well.
At that period Northern America
was still essentially an agricultural
country; free land was possible for
all; in a word it was in the pioneer
stage of development. Industrial
development east Of the Mississippi
was very nascent, hand tools were
still the only means by which wealth
was produced.
In the early nineteenth century
Communistic experimentation by
various fraternal and religious org
anizations was formed. The Shak-
ers, the Harmonist and the Oneida
communities are good examples Men
f high intellectual calaber and stronr
religious convictions; men like Bris
baine, Eamerson and John Thoma"
Goldman and others worked with pas.
sionate zeal and ardour for the
cause. Robert Owen, at that time the
most popular. man in Europe sought
to ,emancipate humanity thru his
communistic organizations in Europe
and America and for which he sacri
ficed all his fortune.
The German Communism Of Welt
ling was of the same school. AS En-
gels points out, ITO all these, So
cialism appeared as the expression
Of absolute truth, reason and justice
and hence had only to be discovered
to conquer the entire world by VIRTUE

THE CLASS STRUGGLE
DEVELOPS.

Since steam driven machinery an(
the making of machines by machinery
transformed theN older manufacture
into modern industry, the productive
forces developed with mprecedentec
rapidity unheard of before. The con
centration of wealth in fewer hands
the formation of trusts and mono
poles had tremendous effect upor
the various communities which Were
formed by the Utopians, resulting II
the disintegratlon and disappearance,
of these Communities.
In the mean time the class struggle
in all highly developed capitals
countries assumed different char
acter. The cleavage Of society int,
classes became more apparent; class
antagonisms became sharper.
The proclamation of the Com.
munist Manifesto by Marx and En-
gels; the introduction of modern
scientific Socialism based upon his
toric facts, revolutionized the minds
of millions Of people thruout the
civilized world.
The Paris Commune was the revo
lutionary mass movement Of the
period; altho IL did not attain its sb-
jective, nevertheless 1t was an his
toric experiment Of gigantic import.

THE END OF THE SECOND IN
TERNATIONAL.

The Second International after the
death of Liebknecht and Bebel be-
came dominated by opportunists of
the worst character and rendered
little service to the movement up to
it's extinction at the outbreak of the
World War in 1914.
At the outbreak of the world war
the leaders of all the Socialist
Parties affiliating with the Second
International the Scheidemans and
Kautskys Of Germany, the Hynd-
mans and McDonalds in England,
the Longuess and Thomases OF
France and three years later When
the u. S. participated in the wcrltl
determination to make the world
safe for democracy, Spargo, Russel
& Co. turned into social patriots OF
opportunism and social treason,
joining the blackest forces of re-
action. The collapse of the Second
International followed,
In the early spring 1917 this coun-
try broke diplomatic relations with
Germany and war was imminent with
that country, an emergency conven-
ton of the Socialist Party was cal
led at st. Louis, Mo-.
I The Spargos and Russels, like
their European Social patriots and
chauvinists submitted minority re-
port demanding that the S. p. should
endorse the war and join with the
militarists and capitalists to exter-
inmate German Militarism. The ma
jority report was sponsored by Hit
quit, and Berger and others oppos'
ing this country's participation in the
world conflict, not from a revolu-
tionary motive but from the motive
Of opportunism and political en-
pediency. The then existing left wing
in the s. P.'supported the st, Louis
resolution.

abandoned. The Socialist Party be-

THE NEW INTERNATIONAL.

The Kautskys, Hendersons, Spar
gos and Russels loudly cry that the
soviets are undemocratic, that COM
munism in Russia is being supefim-
posed upon the Russian people and
that the Dictatorship of the Prolet-
ariat is incompatible where demo
cratic institutions exist.
These social patriots and traitors
cannot conceive that the Soviet Re-
public is better than any bourgeois
republic with constitution assembly
In March 1919 the Third Inter
national was founded in Moscow
at time when the world imperialisi
and capitalist nations including
America, were tenaciously determin.
ed to destroy the Soviet Republic.
The Third International is the,
vanguard of the militant proletariat
throughout the world, under its
splendid leadership it guides and
teaches the proletariat what action
and tactics to persue.
1t is against the Kautskys, Schei
deman, Spargos, Thomases and al
the chauvinists on the one Eand, and
against the Yellow Amsterdam Trade
Union International on the other,
that the Third International has de.
clared a relentless war. @
John Spargo who helped TO make
the world safe for democracy, COM
plains that the war shattered his
socialist theories, yet this menta
pervert has the audacity to call
himself a MARKHAM Socialist.
In lecturing before an audience at
Rabbi Silver's Temple in Cleveland
Ohio a week ago, he availed himself
of the opportunity to take a crack
at Soviet Russia. He argued that he
would rather go hungry and shelter
less under capitalism than live in
Soviet Russia under communism and
be compelled to take orders from
the Communist Party.
Again he asserted, that communist
and socialists who called themselves
internationalists are not internation'
alists at all; accused them of being
un-national or anti-national, assuming
that in order to be an internationalist
YOU must first and formost be a
sincere and profound nationalist.
That is the kind of trash this
arch traitor is feeding the masses
However, | shall not waste energy
and ink to quote the fragrant con-
Trajectory statements made by Spar
90. Suffice it to say that Socialism
in it's development from utopian to
Scientific had its shortcomings, its
misrepresentation, its traitors.
It is against the nefarious Spargo
and his like that the class-conscious
workers must be on the alert. The
future belongs to the workers!

SohhPlete harmony with the Entente
Militarists and Imperialists.
The Social patriots and Chauvin-
lists hailed Kerensky as the emanci-
pator and democratizer of Russia.
Even the pacifist and reactionary
Socialists who subscribed to the st.
Louis convention resolution looked
upon Kerensky and his henchmen
with profound veneration.
The November (Bolshevik) Revo-
luton marked the successful struggle
against the parliamentary bourgeois
republic and the overthrow of the
Kerensky regime. The Dictatorship
OF the Proletariat was established !:
the stubborn resistance of the Gar
lst elements and bourgeoisie was
broken.
The Soviets assumed power and
like conflagration spread all over
Russia. And for the first time in
history the teaching of Marx was
carried into practice by the worlds
greatest strategist and statesman
Nikolai Lenin.
This, the worlds greatest occurrence
revolutionized the minds of millions
of workers. The Bolsheviks after
seizing power found themselves sur
rounded by Czarist conspiraters and
assassins from within and by menac-
ing world capitalism and imperial
Ism from without. The Red Army
was organized under the gallant
leadership of Trotzky. The Denikins,
the Kolchaks, the Wrangels vanished
under the pressure Of the valiant
| fighters. The greatest obstacles were
thus far overcome and the soviets
have so firmly entrenched themselves
that no power on earth can destroy
them.
