8. The ProIetarian Dictatorship
and the Glasses.

~-~O~N
thoro study of all elements Of this
struggle.
The big bourgeoisie and the rich
landowners, as well as that part OF
the officers and army staff subject to
them, are the most consistent enemies
Of the working class, and bitter
struggle against them is absolutely
inevitable. AS rule 1t is only pos
sible to utilize the organizing powers
of these circles after the dictatorship
has been established, and all con-
spiracies Of exploitation and uprisings
have been determinedly suppressed.
The question of the technical brain
workers plays most important role
for the proletarian revolution. Every
eounter-revolutionary action original
ing in the ranks of the technical brain
workers must be vigorously suppress
ed, but at the same time the prole-
tariat must take into consideration
the absolute necessity for these
skilled workers, and carefully avoid
any action which could injure them
economically, especially those groups
which have already suffered thru the
war. These intellectual forces should
be brought under proletarian influence
by pointing out to them the prospects
of building up socialist culture.
With regard to the peasantry, the
Communist Party is confronted with
the task OF winning over a great part
OF the peasantry for the party. The
victorious proletariat must differen-
tate strictly between the various
groupings within the peasantry ITSELF
estimate their specific Importance,
and aid the landless, semi-proletarian
elements of the peasantry by every
possible means, give them a part of
the big landowners property, help in
their struggle against usurious CAPT
tai, etc. The proletariat must utilize
the middle elements by leaving their
land and their possessions untouched,
and by combating every attack made
by the rich peasantry in combination
with the rich landowners.
In this struggle the proletariat
should base its activities upon the or
CARNATIONS of the poorer population
Of the country, which are under the
leadership Of the country proletariat
in all countries where the system of
agricultural wage labor is developed.
The petty bourgeoisie Of the cities,
which has always wavered between
extreme reaction and sympathy for
the proletariat, is also to be neutral
ueAn 20 -,
ity is assured if their property is not
touched. if they are allowed liberty of
economic intercourse, aided in their
struggle against usurious forms of
credit, etc.
In order to fulfill all these tasks the
most varying organizations of the
proletariat (co-operatives, trad g
unions, and other associations, and
chiefly the party as leading power in
the revolution) must be actual organs
of proletarian power. 1t is only when
these organizations lend unlimited
support to the proletarian power, only
when the class will is perfectly united,
and when the party has the leadership,
that the proletariat can successfully
carry out its part as organizer OF
society as a whole in the most criti-
cal period Of human history.
4. Abolition Of the Bourgeois e
Monopoly Of Education.
The proletariat, when abolishing the
monopoly of the capitalist class of the
means of production, must simultan-
eously destroy the monopoly Of edu-
cation in the hands Of the bourgeoisie,
that is. it must take over all schools
and universities.
One of the most important tasks of
the proletariat is to train skilled tech
nicians from the ranks Of the working
class, not only in the sphere Of pro-
duction engineers, mechanics. organ
izers, bookkeepers. etc., but for scien-
tific and military work. etc. This is
the only way possible OF enabling
fresh groups Of qualified workers to
be continually added to- the probe
