"THE RESULTS OF INTERNATIONAL
CONGRESS" BY YU. STEKLOV.
Il, leading article, Moscow Izvestia, Aug. 8,
192O.b
The End Congress Of the Communist In
ternational is ended. Now one can make
certain summarizing statements OF its work
First of ALL let us note the basic feature OF
the Congress, namely, the unity in the state
of mind of its participants and the unanimity
on all principal questions. Whoever recalls the
congresses of the II International, with their
clear division into two wings which differed
on fundamental questions Of program and
tactics and frequently were definitely hostile
in their attitude toward one another, can not
fail to note the profound difference between
the old and the new International organiza-
tions. We do not say that there are no diff
ferences of opinion in the III International
On the contrary sometimes the divergence
between the majority of the Congress and
it's Left" wing expressed itself very sharply.
But if there was here difference of opinion,
it was not, however, divergence with respect
to the fundamental aims. All who partici-
pated in the Congress were striving ardently
to bring about the liberation of the prole-
tarat and revolutionary struggle against the
bourgeoisie in all fields and under all flags;
and if they sometimes quarreled among
themselves, it was simply on the question Of
by what roads one can secure more surely
this generally recognized aim and by what
plesns can it t-.ba1att sRsd
| without mistakes.
1t is necessary to note also another pro.
found difference. The II international did not
have any discipline, either internal or ex-
ternal. 1t would adopt Idecisions, but it did
not even wish to follow up their actual exc

view. No sort of situation in production and
no kind of strike of itself can decide the mat
ter. for the opposition of the entire govern
mental apparatus of the bourgeoisie will be
encountered and then inevitably the bayonet
will become the order of the day. But II 1t is
clear that revolution is civil war, that it is
an armed struggle of the workers with the
bourgeoisie, then it is also quite clear that
the working class, like every bei6getent coun>
try, must have a closely united vanguard,
with military discipline, with military staff
to direct the struggle, and all must be sub
ordinate to this staff. And such vanguard
is the party. And whoever once for all realizes
all the gravity of the struggle, all its historic
ally inevitable cruelty, and all its military
character, at the same time once for all will
also realize the necessity of the Communist
Party.
In this connection, our International Com
munist Congress has already played q tre-
mendous role The Russian delegation from
the very beginning even in opposition to the
opinion of German friends (SpartacideS), in
sisted upon the admission with a decisive
voice, of the anarcho-syndicalists, the |. W.
W., the English shop-stewards, etc. And what
then? In the committee as well as in Con-
gress, resolution on the role of the party
was adopted unanimously. The French SYM
dicalist, Comrade Rosmer, subscribed to it.
The representatives of the English shop
stewards committees subscribed to it. The |.
w. w. subscribed to it. There was not single
protest when it was put to the VOTE What
does that mean? 1t means that the necessity
precisely of party, precisely centralized
one and precisely military one, has become
plainly clear to all serious adherents of the
revolution, but not to babblers For, we re-
peat, it is matter of direct armed struggle.
We not only did not lose by admitting
honest revolutionary workers to the Con-
gress, who until now have not been Commun-
| lists; on the contrary, we have already gained
| thereby. Only in this manper can the unity
| of the proletarian revolutionists actually be
| brought about The business of the Marxists
| is not to stew in their own juice and to be
| joined to group of superior comrades who
know and understand everything. The bust
J ness of the Marxists is continually to widen

ssTHE VANGUARD OF THE INTERNATlO-
NAL PROLETARIAT."
By N. Bukharin.
Moscow Pravda, Aug. 8, 1920

Moscow PraVda, Aug. 3, l51V.)
The international proletarian movement Is
more and more rapidly developing into
movement directed by Communist Parties
and their unifying organization-the Com
munist International This change, however,
has not as yet been fully perfected. Besides,
there are coming into the Communist Party
from various directions a portion OF the
workers who had passed through the old 80
cial-Democratic school (even the Strict
trainers'9 through devious ways, like par
ties of the Center" English and German
"Independents"), gradually breaking the
bounds of ancient traditions. These have
learned through the experience OF mass
struggles and now find it necessary to have
single centralized party.
The other portion of the proletariat, driven
away by the repulsive, petty partisan, par
liamentary, social-traitorous organizations,
into the camp of the opponents on principle
of '1politics" in general and of political par
ties in particular, come to revolutionary Com
munism from the one side, and from re-
lection of parties in general, to recognition
of the Communist Party.
Finally, the new" crude, formerly nom
partisan, and very often even unorganNed
masses, drawn by the course OF revolutionary
struggle into the general process, either d.
rectly or clambering along step by step, gra-
dually realize the necessity of entering the
ranks of the Communist Party. This is quite
easily understood, for the opportunist parties
and the opponents of parties on principle as
such, in the main proceed consciously or un-
consciously upon one and the same reform
ist illusion concerning the comparative ease
of the struggle The class-conscious oppor-
tunists stand wholly upon the point of view
of the stability of the old relations, and of a
slow, gradual, prudent" policy. But--strange
as this may sound-even the LEFT Wing
critics of parties (Syndicalist, |. w. w., and
others) do not realize the full degree OF the
stubbornness, and the warlike character of
: the revolution, which is you know, nothing
else but civil war. 1t is worth while to recall
the anarcho-syndicalst theory Of "the strike

cution. Knowing in advance that the resoll-
tions adopted did not obigate in any way its
members, the II international frequently
would adopt radical decisions, which did not
correspond to its actual state of mind ard
plans. Such was the resolution adopted three
times as proposed by the Let's respecting
the converting of an imperialistic war into
civil war; that is. respecting the using of the
World War for lhe world social revolution.
And if those who voted for resolutions did
not consider themselves obligated thereby,
then of course those who voted against them
did not wish to take them into account ut all.
1t is not thus in the Communiss Interna-
tional. On a whole series of questions ION the
role of the Communist Party, on parlia .lcn-
Iarism, or the trade-union movement Cn con-
ditions Of admittance to the Communist In
ternational, etc.,, sharp debates and quar-
rels took place at the Congress, but when it
came to voting unanimity was reestablished.
The majority of the resolutions on funda-
mental questions were adopted unanimousiY,
or almost unanimously. And even those whe
voted against, in majority of instances, de-
cared their submission to the decisions
taken.
But this last fact, of course, is sef-under-
stood. In contradistinction to its predecessor
the III International is not debating club,
but an organization of action. 1t wishes to be
not the arena of academic discussions be-
tween parties independent one of the other,
which temporarily come together for parlor
talks it wishes to be the centralized militant
coordinating body of the International de-
tachments of a single Communist Party,
single both in it's theoretic views and in its
practical work And this bringing together
with respect to ideas and tactics of the pro-
letarian vanguard, which was accomplished
at the End Congress of the Communist Inter-
national, represents probably the most inl-
portant attainment of the Congress. All the
rest will adapt itself
"a Congress adopted resolutions that
were Of definitely revolutionary and mill
tant content. At the same time it was able to
note the correct line that leads not to rup,

LIFE is WHAT WE
WANT!
BY SANFORD HAMILTON.

Friends Of Labor" are losing sleep
trying to dope out what we want. The
Womans Press, for example, advert
ises--in "The Survey for March 5,
1921-a "fun-making, play-planning
little volume" under the heading
What the Workers Want Is
Recreation.
And so it goes. Every "Friend of
Labor" guesses along the lines of the
thing or the idea he has to peddle.
Poor boneheads, they are struggling
with something that is too big for
them. Why don't they ask us? Well
tell them the whole story in five
words-Life is what we want!
Friends of Labor" look puzzled.
Watch them. They'll start an argu-
ment, Here they go; "Life is a broad
term. What. -"
Never mind definitions, dear friends.
A teaspoonful Of prune juice has
more knowledge Of life than you. All
your opinions are borrowed from half
dead professors who stole them from
professors who are quite dead.
Just mark what we say: Life is
what we want! And the first thing on
our program is to get control Of the
means Of life-industry.
It's a big job. So, please, dear
friends, don't bother us. II you don't
overwork your little heads, you may
live long enough to see our idea Of
life in actual operation.
But you are nervous lot, impa-
tient. 1t would be cruelty to animals
to keep you guessing that long. So
herein broad terms--is our idea Of
life:
i A United Humanity fighting its
one enemy; the secrets Of nature.
What JOY, what happiness, what
gladness iuch life can offer, YOU

tific action. 1t is all very well to want
an organization which will concern
itself with plans Of action within the
labor movement, meaning the A. F.
of L. movement. We have no such or
ganization now. True, we must start
to build one Immediately. But we
cannot forget that outside the A. F.
of l.. and within the A. F. of L., yet
against it, there is vital, growing
movement. We cannot, must not and
we dare not shut our eyes to it. For if
we do, when we have built our organi-
zation within the labor movement, we
may find that the A. F. of L. will be
a very different kind of an organiza-
ton yet along side Of it may be other
organizations which are potent and
vital but from which We may be
isolated.
