their leaders, and enable us, thru a
| temporary coalition with the left So
cial democratic elements, to conquer
intermediate positions in the struggle
/ for the dictatorship. The rapid stab
ilization of capitalism, in western
Europe strengthens the social democ-
racy, and makes it necessary that the
entire front of the COmintern be
sharply turned against the social de-
mocracy, and turns the slogan for a
workers government into a pure agi-
rational slogan.
III INDER what conditions the new
- revolutionary wave will rise. and
what tactics it will require of the
Comintern, cannot at present be fore
seen. The undersigned (of this state
ment) felt, in the year just past. that
the mass character of the Communist
parties was endangered by the oppo-
sition OF the German party to partial
transitional demands, and by the or
ganlzational policy of the German
party, which eliminated many vain
able proletarian elements from the
party because they wanted to save the
party from the fate of a revolutionary
sect.
The theses of Comrade Zinoviey
show that the executive of the Com
intern see threatening dangers. Re
CARELESS Of the fact that the theses
contain unjustifed allegations on the
policy of the undersigned, the latter
declare that the theses correspond to
their own views and are therefore &C.
cepted by them. They express their
satisfaction with the fact that the ex-
ecutive of the Comintern calls atten-
ton OF the parties that Bolsheyiza-
ton requires careful adaptation to
the concrete conditions existing in
each country, and that the BoIsheviza-
ton OF the parties can only be attained
thru free discussion within the linn
its of the young Communist parties.
and thru the policy Of inner-party
democracy which alone permits of the
selection Of the leaders from the most
reliable and experienced elements.
The undersigned declare that they win
do everything to attain this goal. They
point out that to attain this end it is
necessary to reinstate more than fifty
expelled workers. This would put an
end to all fractional activities within
the Communist Party of Germany, and
would effect the real unity of the
party. At no time was the unity of
the Comintern as urgent as It is at
present. The parties must be devel-
oped and synthesis of the leader
ship Effected synthesis Of those
leaders who matured in the conflicts
with and within the social-democracy
with the younger elements who came
to Communism during the struggles of
1919, and who represent the senti-
ments of the young generation which
grew up after the war.
HOMRADE MANUILSKY then read
~ the answer Of the Russian deIega-
ton to the above statement. The an
swer is to the effect that Radek. /
Brandler and Thalheimer were most
responsible for the social democratic
tendencies in the tactics of the Com
munist Party of Germany, which have
caused so much damage to the Ger
man revolutionary movement in 1928.
The Observation-Disclosures group
attempted to turn the revolutionary
united front tactic into a tactic of
coalition with the social democrats.
The banal Saxon parliamentary farce
revealed the complete political bank
ruptcy of these three comrades.
The Thirteenth Congress of the Rus
sian Party declared unanimously that
Radek's policy had nothing in COM
mon with the policy of the Commun-
list Party Of Russia. The Frankfort |
Congress Of the German Communist |
Party condemned the policy of Brand |
Ter and Thalheimer with no less en-
phasis.
