The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-03-05

munist International has been read
and studied by the best intellects Of
capitalism. The counter-revolution
lists Of the Second International know
very well that the Third Congress
said:
1.-THE distinction between the
Communist international and the
sociaI-democrats Of all coiors does
not consist In the fact that we are
trying to force the revolution and
set definite date for It while they
are opposed to any utopIan and i'm
mature uprIsings. No, the cIstInc-
| ton lies In the fact that soclaI-denn-
ocrats hinder the actual develop
nlent of the revolution by rendering
all possible assistance in the way Of
restoring the equilibrium of the
bourgeois state while the Commun-
lists, on the other hand, are trying
to take advantage Of all means and
methods for the purpose OF over
throwing and destroying the capital
ist government and establishing the
dictatorship of the proletariat."
THE new propaganda offensive Of
| capitalism, it's interested and dis
ingenious favoring of the Trotsky
position as against that of the Russ
ian Communist Party, zinoviev and
the Communist International, IS ex-
planned by the fact that the counter
revolution has entered a new phase.
1t first made war on Soviet Russia,
directly and indirectly. It hoped for
the conquest of the Russian workers
and peasants government and that
this victory for world capitalism and
its reformist supporters would deal a
death blow to the Communist InteFna-
tional.
This hope has gone glimmering be-
fore the bayonets of the Red Army
and the hatred Of the working class
of the world for war against Russia.
Recognition has been forced from
every great capitalist nation with the
exception of the United. States. Here
too recognition will soon be an ac-
complished fact.
lXAIORLD capitalism has had to
wv change its tactics. 1t can no
longer fool the working class with the
discredited lies about Soviet Russia
manufactured to order. The Soviet
government and its growing power,
especially in the Far East, the treas
IRE house that each imperiaIist ma
lion longs to loot, is just about the
most unsuitable reality in the world
today. M
1t is the Communist International
itself, it's sections in every country,
that are now the main targets of at
tack. Capitalism has recognized and
now acts upon something, all Com
munists have known since the Inter
! national was organized:
That the evolutionary battlefront
is not alone along the borders of So
Wet Russia, but in every country.
That as long as the Third Interna-
tionaI lives and capitalism lasts the
issue Is clear cut and the fighting
front clearly deflned-the revoIu-
tionary working class under the
leadership Of the Communist Inter
national against world capitalism

dangerous elements who think that
