TIME dictatorship Of the fascists in
Il Italy would not last twenty-four
hours, If 1t had to depend on Musso-
lini alone or even on his cutthroat
army. 1t survived until now because
it had the support Of the big indus
trialists. They financed it in its
youth and they have nuurished it ever
since. But the damn thing can't work
because the days OF the dictatorship
of capitalism are numbered, whether
open or masked. It is the dictator
ship Of the few over the many, that
is slipping in Italy.
DUT an entirely different situation
~ exists in Russia. There we have
dictatorship Of the millions of work
ers and peasants exercised thru the
Communist Party. For what purpose?
Not to set up dictatorship as the
model form of government for all
time, but as a means whereby the rob-
Der system of capitalism shall be sup
planted by production for use, and to
insure that this transformation can
take place with a minimum Of disor-
ganization. In fact, if we take democs
racy to be the rule of the majority,
this dictatorship in the Soviet Union,
is the most democratic government iT
the world today.
DUT the Communists are not play
Ling with words or interpretations.
They say it is dictatorship and that
furthermore the workingclass move
ment in all countries will inevitably
pass thru this stage before class
less society is attained where all will
be producers and government as we
know it now will disappear, because
all governments are and have been
organs of suppression, the suppress
sion of one or more classes by one or
more other classes. Naturally, when
all classes disappear, there will be
no further need Of suppression. The,
dictatorship in Russia is the servant
of evolution. The caricature that ex-
lists in Italy is trying to hold back
the wheels Of progress.
TNHE Italian dictatorship is doomed
l. to failure. Even its original sup
portefs admit that things look any
thing but bright for it now. This does
not mean that the capitalists in other
countries will not adopt the same me-
thod that Mussolini adopted rather
than see the working class ride into
power. They will. Drowning men
grasp at straws and if anybody is
foolish enough to believe that the cap
italists in all countries win not re-
sort to violence rather that surren-
der their easy graft, that person does
not even read the newspapers.
OWEN England, long heralded to the
- four winds as the motherland of
democracy has a rapidly growing fas-
cist organization, financed by some of
the leading tory politicians and land
owners. Prominent army officers are
at its head and it has now reached
the stage where it marches armed
through the streets and breaks
up working class meetings. And it
does so with impunity. While the
opposition to Mussolini in Italy does
not come entirely from the working
class, the time will arrive when many
of those leaders who are now fighting
the black shirts will fight the dicta-
torship Of the workers just as vigor-
ously. Mussolini was right when he
told his petty bourgeois opponents
that after fascism would come Com
munism. Yes, if not Immediately, at
least in the not far distant future.
