of leading the masses to the direct
attack on the bourgeois state. This is
achieved by the Advancement of more
marked slogans and the increasing
intensity Of mass movements, to
which must be subordinated all
branches OF party agitation and propa-
ganda, including parliamentary activi-
ties. These comprise strikes, combi-
nations of strikes and demonstrations,
combination of armed demonstrations
and strikes, and finally, the general
strike in conjunction with the highest
form Of the direct military fight
against the state power of the bour-
geoisie. This fight is subject to mill
tary rules; it presupposes military
plan (the fixing of time and place,
etc.,, aggressive operations, and undi-
vided loyalty and heroism on the part
Of the proletariat. Such actions pre-
suppose the organization Of the
broad masses into militant bodies,
which by their very form should at
tract and set into motion the largest
number Of toilers Councils of work
ers' and peasants deputies, soldiers
councils, etc). A prerequisite for
victorious tactics is propaganda
work in the army and navy.
The process of uniting the masses
under the Communist flag must be
developed in all actual questions of
daily life. Above all, the fight against
the danger of fresh imperialist wars,
etc.
Other questions coming under this
heading are those connected with the
struggle against the economic results
of the war and postwar crisis. flight
against increased prices, against un-
employment, against longer working
hours, against higher taxation, etc.
The support of Soviet Russia, as a
means towards strengthening it and
towards mobilizing the masses about
this anti-capitalist center point, con-
stitutes the most powerful organizing
instrument in the hands Of the inter-
national working class.
For the coordination of actions, and
for the purposeful leadership thereof,
the international proletariat requires
an international class discipline,
which must above all be strictly adj
hered to in the ranks Of the Com
munist Parties. This international
Communist discipline must be ex-
pressed by the subordination Of all
partial and local interests Of the
movement to its general and perma-
nent interests, and by the unqualified
execution Of all resolutions passed by
the leading organs Of the Communist
International.
Being the united world party Of the
proletariat, the Communist Interna-
tional makes it incumbent upon all its
sections carefully to weigh all the Pc
culiarities of the situation in their
respective countries. Only by study
ing these peculiarities is it possible
to conduct real MARKHAM policy. The
difference between the countries of
highly developed capitalism, which are
on the threshold of the proletarian
revolution; the countries on the eve
Of bourgeois revolution. which must
be transformed into the proletarian
revolution; and finally, the countries
which are still colonies or semi-colon-
les Of imperialist powers, and which
must still inevitably pass thru the
phase Of colonial and national wars
this difference must determine the
whole activity Of the Communist Par
ties which are under the uniform and
centralized leadership Of the Com
munist International.
