The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-27

Wnere workers are employed In state
service they must arm and organize
in special corps, with chiefs chosen
by themselves, or form part OF the
proletarian guard. Under no pretext
must they give up their arms and
equipment, and any attempt at dis
armament must be forcibly resisted
Destruction of the influence of bour-
geois democracy over the workers,
organization of the workers, and the
exaction of the most irksome and
compromising terms from the bour-
geois democracy, whose triumph is
for the moment unavoidable-these
are the main points which the prole-
tariat, and therefore also the League
has to keep in sight during and after
the coming upheaval
(iiD AS soon as the new govern
ment is established they will COM
mence to fight the workers In order
to be able effectively to oppose the
petty bourgeois democracy, it is in
the first place necessary that the
workers should be independently or
ganized in clubs, which should soon
be centralized. The central author
ity, after the overthrow of the exist
ing governments, will at their earliest
opportunity transfer it's headquarters
to Germany, Immediately call to-
gether congress, and make the
necessary proposals for the central
ization of the workers clubs under an
Executive Committee, who will have
their headquarters in the center of
the movement. The rapid organiza
ton, or at least the establishment of
a provincial union of the workers
clubs, is one of the most important
points in our considerations for in
MIGRATING and developing the Work
ers' Party. The next result of the
overthrow of the existing government
will be the election of national rep
resentation. The proletariat must
see to it first that no worker shall be
deprived Of his suffrage by the trick
cry of the local authorities or gov.
eminent commissioners; secondly
that beside the bourgeois democratic
candidates there shall be put up every
where working-class candidates, who,
as far as possible, shall be members
of the League, and for whose success
all must work with every possible
means. Even in constituencies where
there is no prospect of our candidate
being elected, the workers must new
ertheless put up candidates in order
to maintain their independence, to
steel their forces, and to bring their
revolutionary attitude and party
views before the public. They must
not allow themselves to be diverted
from this work by the stock argument
that to split the vote of the democrats
means assisting the reactionary par
ties. All such talk is but calculated
to cheat the proletariat. The advance
which the proletarian party will
make thru it's independent political
attitude is infinitely more important
than the disadvantage of having
few more reactionaries in the national
representation. The victorious demo
Gratis could, if they liked, EVEN pre-.
vent the reactionary party having any
sccesss at all, if they only used their
newly won power with sufficient en-
ergy.
The first point which will bring the
democrats into conflict with the pro-
letariat is the abolition of all feudal
rights. The petty bourgeois demo-
Gratis, following the example of the
first French Revolution, will hand
over the lands as private property to
the peasants; that is, they will leave
the agricultural laborers as they are,
and will but create petty bourgeois
peasantry, who will pass thru the
same cycle of material and spiritual
misery in which the French peasant
now finds himself.
