Kept Press Shows Its
Ignorance About Ruling
Power in Soviet Russia
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL

TO-DAY the capitalist press is much ohagrined over the
failure Of Leon Trotsy do in Soviet Russia what was
hoped he would do; try to usurp the Soviet Power.
Arthur Brisbane of the Hearst Sheets seemsnost peeved
Day after day. he harps his disappointment concluding
that Trotsy must have been some kind of Brs-
ha chance Trotsty had when LsuIn died leaving him with
the his control Napoleon
Ill., would have known what to do TrOtsW didn't know"
But there two other paragraphs that help shed some
additional light on Brisbanes monumental Ignorance, when
he writes:
something Trotsys fighting ap-
parstus He had his Army
orders and Lsni dying left the whole Of Russia to able
"rsy to lack the power Of Dauon RobsspI.rrs or
Marat Those fight what
theirs, and how to die cheerfuIly"
The recent relations that have developed between the
Russian Communist Party and Trosky pin prcs the bubbles
that Brisbane in common with the whole kept press acey
do have been blowing these past years speculation
as to the future of the Soviet Power Trotsly was often
been referred "Red Napoleon" who would in time
establish military dictatorship Other prominent Russian
Communists were picked for roles that individuals
played in previous revolutions notably French Revo
luton In this all these press prostitutes either display
wfu or actual ignorance of the real nature Of the Russian
rey0IItion
Lenn did not do something he could not do, leave "the
whole OF Russia to any man able seize the power Lenn
than any other single Individual the Russian Communist
Party His legacy to that party and the World Communist
movement is Leninsn, the teachings of Lenn.
The ruling power today in Soviet Russia is not lodged
win any Individual, or even group of individuals
Russian Communist Party 1t rules thru its hundreds Of
thousands OF members directly affiliated with it.
Neither Irotsky, any other individual, at any time
ruled the Red Army It was ruled at all times by the Com
unlst Pary especially thru the Communists who were the
leading and most sefsacrfcng spirits in the Red Army
The Communist Party rules in industry members
in the shops the mills the mines and factories That was
the strength OF the Russian Communists before the
evoutOn that they able everywhere that labor toed
to create their nuclei and keep in the closest the
everyday aspirations of the workers their work places
leading them to victory.
It the inability lack DESIRE on the part of the
capitalist scrbber to understand the role Of the Russian
communist Party in the Russian revolution that leads to
many silly conclusions The failure the French Comune
was due to the fact that the French workers powerful
disciplined centralized Communist Party to inspire and lead
their struggle The strength of the Workers Republic
IS such party the Russian Communist Party. Lenn's
strength his power out of his ability lead the Rus
fight to maintain power.
twas Lenn who founded the Communist International
the world Communist Party to win the victory for
social revolution just he helped organize Communist
Party to triumph in Russia.
There Aexanders, Caesars Napoleons or Kaiser
Whelms in the Soviet Russia of today seeking world
quest Il not in the theory the practice Of the Com
munst struggle for power. Trotsky knows this He has
shown again by submitting to the discipline of the Rus
sian Communist Party.
Trotsky weak because Of his INABILITY 70 hsl Lad a.
Russian communist movement along the Boshevk
path That weakness-not courage, or willingness to
fght-costs him his place dominating influence in the
Soviet Republic If the policies that Trotsky espouses are
found wanting and they have been wanting then all
wod ioet his place under the dictatorship Of proIe-
tarat that leads to Communism.
1t this same capitalist mind, supported by Socialist
neoretcans that charges the present Dictatorship
Russia IS dictatorship the workers and peasants
not dictatorship by the workers and peasants.
just as the kept pictures Trotsky usurping
power without the aid Of the Communist Party it claims
that the Communist Party maintains dictatorship the
workers and peasants in spite of their opposition This Is
also phantastc dream The Communist Party rules thru
the dictatorship of the workers and and
It's ruling position because the of workers and
peasants support its policies
It we'll that American workers and poor farmers
dersand these fundamentals in order interpret correctly
the capitalist press of what tansprng in Soviet
Russia OF course it is better still not to read the capitalist
press at all Depend the Communist press for the
about the First Workers Republic.
