Russia Set Goal for Workers.
The workers and peasants of Russia
could never have successfully made the
revolution K the capitalist war had not
created the favorable conditions for

STA did more than wipe out the old
order in Russia. It set in motion the
movement for the world proletariar

working and exploited masses is now
proceeding with more or less vigor
and success in all countries. It's cul-

of capitalism the world over and the
