Imperialism.
A Party Of Lepin.
The course in Marxism-Leninism
aims to give a political base for the
study of party problems. Part /, deal
ing with Marxism, will take up the
origin and the philosophical, poll
tical and economic aspects of the pro-
letarian social science which bears
the name of Marx. How, out of
utopian socialism, metaphysical ma
terialism and Hegelian dialectics. he
welded scientific basis for social
ism, his participation in the revolu-
ton of 1S4S and the lessons he de-
rived therefrom, his activities in the
First International and his conflicts
with the anarchists and Lnsallean
social-democrats, the fundamental
economic concepts of Marxism lead
ing up to the accumulation of CAPT
monopoly and Imperialism, the re-
visionist and opportunist atticks on,
and distortion of Marxism, and final
ly, a study of ''Lenin as Marxist,"
in which the roots of the present day
Communist theory and practice will
be shown to be imbedded in Marx
ism-these are the basic Elements
Of the course.
Following directly from the study
OF ''Lenin as a Marxist" in Part |, and
from the study of capitalist accumu-
lation, Part ii, entitled Leninism, will
begin with study Of the economies
and politics of the era of trusts, mono
poly, export of capital, imperialism,
and the polemic with Kautsky con-
corning super-imperialism. This will
be followed by study of class divi-
sions and class struggles in the i'm.
perialist epoch, the colonial peoples,
the peasantry and the petty-bour-
geoisie; and then detailed study Of
the proletariat, the aristocracy of la
Dor, opportunism, revisionism, and
the break of Lenin with the Second
International. The proletarian revo-
luton, its basis in objective and sub
jective conditions, the relation be-
tween workers and bourgeoisie revo-
lutions, the revolution as a problem
Of power, Comparison. Luxembourg
ism, Trotskyism will also. be taken up
and after consideration of the Rus
sian revolution and the Communist
international as product of Lenin-
ism, the final subject will be Party

on the upgrade is Soviet Russia; the
standard of living there is higher than
in any other country in Europe and
this because Of the revolution. When

lessons, it can be seen that this course
will be of fundamental value to every
trade union official or active trade
union worker Leading experts in
various fields will discuss the sub
jects involved as will all of the MEM
bers of the class. Since the class will
include the most active, progressive
trade unionists, the discussion is ex-
pected to furnish many valuable con-
tributiOns. A stenographer will be on
hand to take them down and material
derived from this course will be pub
lished from time to time for the use
of trade unionists in other cities. The
instructor, Bert Miller, is to give two
such courses simultaneously each of
them forming part of a party training
course of which the other parts are
Marxism-Deninism and party history
and problems. However, a few sepa-
rate registrations for the trade union
course will be taken. Those inter-
ested, should register at once as no
new registrations are likely to be ac-
cepted after the course is actually
under way. Registrations will be
taken any day or evening at the head
quarters of the New York Workers

masses Of South Slavic workers. This
club is not a party unit, but 1t is doing
its duty towards the Communist move

did not know who they had in their
hands at first. Just day or two

for the immediate execution of the
sentence, Lescinsky escaped and is
now in Soviet Russia.
