the raft in a binding snow storm

own fundamental strategy. A Lenin-

grading mass of serfs to better their
condition physically, economically and
intellectually. Or in other words this
philosopher who did some good work
in his time by contending against the
stultifying influence Of the church
against all new ideas, saw serfdom as
natural and permanent institution.
But serfdom too has gone in spite
of Locke & Co. And now we have
capitalism or wage slavery and the
professors and vulgar economists
never cease telling us in five-inch
words that a system of society where
wage labor is not in existence is
utopian, visionary and impossible of
fulfilment. The poor, say these ora
cles Of bourgeois wisdom, shall always
be with us. The world however did
not stop revolving because the Vicar
Of Christ on Earth rebuked Galielo for
his "fooiishness" and wage slavery
too is being dragooned out out of ex-
istence by the merciless march of
Revolutionary Labor. The Seligmans
and Tausigs do not deserve pity. Men,
well studied in the science OF evolu-

in the past but has stopped existing
with the era OF capitalism and hokum
democracy, do not deserve our pity.

the most part, ardent revolutionary
fighters such as John Reed from the
United States, Willie GALLAGHER from

They had engaged in bitter struggles
against social-democratic opportunism
and social patriotism, and had learned
to despise everything that smacked
of compromise. Many of them did
not believe any true revolutionary

Lenin's pamphlet showed the direc-

slogans and programs of action, Lenin

Just as the controversies of the

XATE are still paying for the sins of
NV the past They continue to be
potent forces leading us astray, and
their effect is felt not only in the per
sistence of certain elements Of social
list theology, but in the very revolt
from that theology. The socialist
party was a party of propaganda. We
pride ourselves on being party of
action, knowing that only in the full
tide of the struggle can the workers
learn the lessons Of the struggle, and
that only in struggle can they acquire
the solidarity, and temper, and will to
power, necessary for the overthrow of
capitalism.
The members Of the Workers Party
participate actively in all phases of
the class fight, striving to win the
leadership of the workers, to deepen
their consciousness, to increase their
striking power Thus the party is
establishing contact with ever-wider
proletarian masses. At the same time
it cannot be denied that the spread Of
the fundamental principles of Com
munism is not keeping step with the
rapid growth Of influence of the party.
Inside the party itself, the number of
comrades who have anything like a
real Communist background is sur
prisingly small. Moreover, our com
rades do not feel the need of educa-
