But we have strong digestion: we
are Marxists hard as adamanr. We

Partisans of the freedom of associa-

Furthermore, may we inform our
friends the bourgeois individualists
that their talk about absolute liberty"
is nothing less than pure hypocrisy?
In society which maintains itself
by the power of money, and where the
mass of the workers lack the necess-
tiles of life, there is no real liberty.
Are you free in relation to your bour-
geois publisher, my writer friend?
Again, are you free in relation to your
bourgeois public, which demands from
you pornography and prostitution as
a supplement to sacred dramatic
art"?
Absolute freedom is a bourgeois or
anarchist fiction flor anarchism is
bourgeois theory the wrong way
round). One cannot live in society
and be free towards society. The
freedom Of the bourgeois writer, or
artist, or actress, is a mask Of indie
pendence concealing a real Deepen
dence on the money of parasites and
souteneurs.
We socialists tear aside this hypoc-
risy and unmask their false standards,
not to arrive at a literature "above
class" (that will only be possible in a
socialist society, in a society without
classes), but to oppose to this So
called free literature, which is really
allied with the bourgeoisie, litera-
ture bound openly to the proletariat.
This will be literature truly free,

with poor equipment. Bourgeois cul-
ture is conventional. 1t has no place
for that breadth of thought which
might tempt the imagination to roam
afield, or out of those limits set by
the powers that be, with Sunday
school ethics and standards. New
York forces on one, very quickly, its
provinciality. 1t is not possible to
live in it long without seeing the OBJ
vious narrowness of its life in the vast
majority Of its forms. 1t, therefore,
expresses itself in its art; necessari-
ly in reflections of that life and its
drama takes on the same dull hues.
The hopeful signs are the demand
for better drama. 1t is always evident
among the people but the production
Of drama is in the hands of those who
follow the American ideal Of progress,
to make money.
A few are making splendid efforts
to get such pictures of life to the
people as will satisfy, in part at any
rate, this demand for better drama So
that the producers will soon-5e forced
to accept such plays.
It viii be a remarkable step for
drama presented in our cities. The

First Of all, this concerns the litera-
ture Of the party. and it's place in the
party, of control Of the party. Every
one is free to write and say what he
wants to without the least restriction.
But every voluntary association-and
the party is one Of them-is free to
expel from its ranks members who
use its organization to preach opin-
ionsagainst the party. Freedom to
write and to speak should be as com
plete as possible. In the name OF free
speech, should give you the whole
right Of shouting, lying and saying all
that you want to. But in virtue Of
the freedom Of association, you must
concede me the right to maintain or
to break my alliance with people who
write in such and such fashion.
The party is voluntary organiza-

what is for and what is against the

IN New York there are about one
1 thousand theaters or places of
amusement coming under the head o.
drama in the new world. Probably
seven million people avail themselves
of opportunities to visit these theaters
to find diversion and food for thought
in the portrayal Of life buzzing all
around them. Yet, in these thousand
theaters where is represented as de-
clsively as in any capitol Of any ma
ton, the level of culture of the nation
there are scarcely half a dozen plays,
which may really be considered as
representing any serious thought or
phase of life.
Music is the most emotional of the
arts and the drama the most animal

because corruption and ambition will
have no place there, and socialist
ideals and sympathy with the op-
pressed will continually bring into it
new forces and new groupings.
This will be free literature, for 1t
will not depend on the blase heroine
nor the tenthousand bored and fatten-
ed high-brows, but on the millions and
millions of workers who are the pick
of the country, its power and its fu-

This will be a free literature, which
will enrich itself with the latest crea-
tons of revolutionary thought, with
the experience and living work Of the
socialist proletariat
Get down to the job then, comrades
We have before us a great and
difficult problem: we must create a
rich proletarian literature, narrowly
and indissolubly bound to the socialist
workers movement.
All the journals, all the periodicals,
all the bookshops should Immediately
harness themselves to the task of re-
organizing in order to become the or

tons affiliated to our party.
1t is only after this work that So
cialist literature will deserve the
name; it is only then that it will be
capable of carrying out its tasks; it
is only then that even within the
framework of the bourgeois society,
it will be able to free itself from bour.
geois bondage and bind itself to the
movement Of the truly revolutionary
class.
