The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-16

against the dangers Of the united
front with the clear perception that
we may perhaps be forced, by num-
Der of transition stages, to struggle
for the dictatorship.
Bukharin, in his report to the Rus
sian Party Congress last year, repres-
ented the failure of the left wing COM
rades to perceive that one must pro-
coed to the dictatorship by sages, as a
left depression. (Freimuth: On the
contrary
We shall see. Freimuth says that
he will proceed thru dictatorship to
the Saxon workers government.
(Freimuth: You say that
1t is said: 1t is not matter of alb
stract formulate. The workers do not
make these divisions. OF what do the
masses of the workers, not only the
Communists, think, when they speak
Of workers government? In England
they think of the Labor Party. In Ger
many, in the countries where capital
ism is in collapse, the workers say:
the united front means that Commun-
lists and social democrats do not fight
aginst each other during strikes, but
cooperate. The idea of the workers
government has the same meIning for
the working masses. They think of
government of all workers parties.
Enter Coalitions.
At the WITH Congress of the Com
munist International we declared that
in the interests of the revolution it
might be necessary: /. To propose to
the mass Of the workers to enter into
coalition even with the Social-Demo-
Gratis. 2. To be ready in certain circ-
umstances actually to carry out in
practice and not merely to agitate for
it. And how was that understood? 1t
is not only comrade Smeral who does
not find hilkself in very cheerful
position at BE, moment, who had
reason to excuse himself on the
ground that he, was seduced. Quite a
number Of the comrades have been
seduced by the influence of our COM
rade Zinoviev. have in my hand an
article published by comrade Kleine
on the first of February 1923. In this
article, which is a polemic against the
Left" written before the party con-
gress and before Brandler's thesis had
been published, he says:
1.-THE readiness which recently
we have SO often shown to take the
final decisive step by joining the
common fight for the interests of the
proletariat in company with the re-
formist parties, is not trick, it is
not tactical maneuver, but a sheer
fact. And in the same way the pos
sibility which we have faced Of a
workers government is not a trick
or an artifce.
Simply because the workers gov
eminent is not as yet proletarian
| dictatorship but only the govern
ment Of labor party which has to
rely on the extra-pafliamentary fight
ing organization of the United Front,
deviations in its policy are inevi-
table,"
Saxon Experience.
That is what comrade Kleine said
before the Party congress.A Since that
time we have been thru pur exper-
fences in Saxony and our tchairman,
comrade TRENT, has written an article
on the results of the elections in
France. This article ends with the
words: "The Workers Government is
step towards the dictatorship" He
has also written an article for the spe-
cial congress number Of the "Com-
munist International in which he
again says that it is not a dictatorship
but merely a stage forward. Yesterday
he got up here and said he was Gin per-
feet agreement with Zinoviev, that his
form of workers government is adj
mirabIe, that, in short, the Workers
Government is the dictatorship of the
proletariat in evolution"
Exclamation from the German dele
cation: "a good road to improve
ment.")
But it is not question of who is in
the wrong and who is in the right.
Comrade zinoviev is quite right when
he says that at the WITH Congress we
took step which was opoprtunistie1
whether we knew it or not; we can
still learn something from that.
