After the Bourgeoisie, the Proletariat

aristocracy Conquest was for this
class merely new source Of graft.
War itself developed into that. Like
in the Russo-JapaneBe war so again
in the great world war graft and cor
ruption became the order of the day.
While the bourgeoisie was bent on
making graft at all costs, even at
the cost of victory. Here the conflict
between autocracy and bourgeoisie

While the most clear-sighted lead.
ers of the bourgeoisie dreaded revolu-
tion yet history told them categorical
ly; hic rhodus, hic salta! Here is the
rose and here you dance!
But, alas, the bourgeoisie had wait
ed too long. The proletariat Of Rus
sia had long been born as an indo-
pendent class. 1t did not appear mere
ly as a potential revolutionary force
within the womb .of capitalism, but
as an independent force alongside OF
capitalism. The bourgeoisie did not
appear as young and vigorous class,
proud of its revolutionary aspira-
tions; but it appeared as an old and
senile class, shaking with fear at the
thought of revolution. The working
class, on the other hand, was no
longer an infant strong enough only
to help its parent but 1t was full
grown giant, confident, vigorous and
self-conscious. This giant, unlike the
bourgeoisie, was not afraid Of revolu-
ton. 1t welcomed It. And, against
the wishes and theories of the inter
national social-democrats, this giant
Of the working class pushed the tot
tering bourgeoisie aside into a COM

tionalities with different languages.
Autocracy on the other hand. pres
ented itself as strong centralized
power.
But in the middle of the 18th CEN
tury capitalism came into Russia; as
foreigner at first. Soon, however,
the stranger became acclimatized.
While capitalism could not conquer
politically it did conquer economical
ly. Absoluteism had to make its bow
to the newcomer.
The wide spread revolutionary ten
denotes among the Russian intel
ligentsia was a manifestation of the
will to political power of the bourge-
oisie. This revolutionary bourgeoisie
could not find any allies and fighters
except among the proletariat and the
peasantry. Thus the revolutionary
bourgeois intelligentsia became to a
large degree the leader of the revo-
lutionary movements of the masses in
Russia.
But when IN the oOs and '9Os the
revolutionary aspirations of the pro
letariat became more clearly defined
and MARKHAM proletarian movement
developed, then the revolutionary
ardor of the bourgeoisie cooled of
very decidedly The growth of the
subjective forces Of proletarlan re-
voIution made the bourgeoisle trem-
BILE before its own revolution.
The Russian bourgeoisie therefore
attempted to solve its problem in the
same way the German bourgeoisie
had solved it in 1S48: by way of com
promise with autocracy.
THEN came the world war. The
4 barbarian greed for conquest do
minating the autocfacy, very well
chimed in with the imperialist aspira-
ton of the Russian bourgeoisie.
During the war, however, the con-
tlict between the bourgeoisie and the
autocracy became irreconciliable. The

TNHE bourgeoisie always had a bet
ter understanding, at least of the
subjective factors of revolution. In
184S the German bourgeoisie betrayed
its own revolution because 1t was
aware Of the existence of the prole-
tariat as a factor to be reckoned
with. The German bourgeoisie then
knew that it would be incomparably
harder for it to suppress the inde-
pendent revolutionary aspirations of
the workers in 1848 than 1t was for
the English revolution to suppress the
Jewellers in 1649, or for the French
revolution to suppress the followers
of Badeuf in 1896. The German bour-
geoisie saw no other sure way to pre-
vent the proletarian revolution than
by making its peace with the old re-
gime and by solving its own need for
a social change thru compromise
with the old order.
The revolutionary hopes of Karl
Marx in those years were based on
the expectation that a bourgeois revo.
luton could and would be turned,
within reasonable time, into a prole.

THE revolutionary upheayals of Eu-
L rope of the 18th and 18th centuries
were not without an echo in Russia
The French revolution had a very dis
tinct reverberation in Russia; but no
upheaval resulted. Revolutionary slo.
gans and maxims were imported. But
there was no class to lend revolutions
ary energy and force to these slogans.
Russia was a backward country. The
class on the back of which the whole
burden of autocracy rested, the peas
antry, looked backward for it's saliva
ton, not forward. 1t looked upon vii

forms. The onward pressure Of pro-
gress doubles its force in the same
ratio as the resistance of the old
order increases.
Revolution is the process of break
ing the dam of the old order. All
forces of social progress are freed by
it. With renewed vigor and increased
speed the stream Of onward develop
ment of society rushes forward to a
higher perfection. Thus revolutions
become, as Karl Marx expresses it so
graphically, the locomotives Of his
tory.
From the foregoing it becomes at
once clear that to understand revo-
luton it is necessary to understand
the forces that n1akeIit. To compre-
hend revolutionsits sources must be
understood and its origin investi-
gated.
THE beginning OF tthe proletarian
L revolution lies atsthe end Of the
bourgeois revolution. The beginning
of the political rule Of the bourgeosie
is at the same time the beginning of
the preletarian revolution. The rule
of the bourgeoisie develops the object
i've forces Of the proletarian revolu-
tion, the means Of production, and the
subjective forces, the proletariat.
The proletarian revolution in Rus
sia is no exception to this rule. The
special conditions under which that
revolution took place, however, pres
ent difficulties which the international
mensheviks have not yet succeeded
in understanding. This gentry insists
that since the proletarian revolution
in Russia followed so closely on the
heels of the bourgeois revolution,
(they were only nine months aparD
the bourgeoisie had no chance to de-
velop the objective and subjective
forces of the proletarian revolution.
Therefore, they reason, this revolu-
tion was out of order With this abb
stract formula the social democrats
cover their very concrete opposition
to the proletarian revolution.

BY MAX REpAcHr

THE proletarian revolution in Rus
sia ended the short rule Of the
Russian bourgeoisie. Bourgeois and
proletarian revolution were simulta-
neous phenomena there. The prole-
tariat had grown so strong and so
conscious in Russia, even under the
old regime, that It could no longer be
used by the bourgeoisie as an instru-
ment of the latter's revolution. On
the contrary; the proletariat very
deliberately used the bourgeois revo-
luton as the basis for it's own i'm
mediate struggle for power.
Revolution is that period of history
in which the social changes that take
place gradually but continuously have
reached the point where they come in
direct conflict with the outward forms
Of society. Revolution is the process
of fundamental change Of these out
ward forms. This change is necessary
for the continuity of the progress OF
society. Without the safety valve OF
revolution the inner forces of so
ciety find only one way of freeing
themselves and that is by throwing
society back into the throes of un.
limited reaction.
The process of revolution Is not a
quiet, orderly phenomena.
CoCIAL changes are steady
~ stream of social development and
progress. The existing outward forms
of society act as dam against this
process and stowe up and hem in
tremendous forces. Thus two contra
dieting forces are wrestling for SUI
premacy. The old social forms act
as break to social development, try
ing to slow it up and to stop it entire
ly. At the same time, this progress is
hammering at the fetters of obsolete

Military Backs Loan.
THE significance of the provision in
the new treaty that American
control is to extend until the debt to
American bankers is paid off may be
seen from the circular issued by Lee
Higginson and company of Boston
which participated in the floating OF
the 1922 loan. This circular, sent out
to prospective American investors,
points out that the American military
authorities in Santo Domingo guaran-
teed "the acceptance and valuation
of this bond issue by any government
of the Dominican republic as a legal,
binding and irreyocable obligation of
the Dominican republic" The 1922
loan runs until 1912. A. letter to Lee,
Higginson and company from the
United States naval officer in charge
of the department of finance and
commerce in Santo Domingo assured
the bankers that Dominican customs
duties shall be collected and applied
by an official appointed by the presi-
dent of the United States and that
the loan now authorized shall have
first lien upon such customs reve-
nues."
Though the American military gov.
ernment of Santo Domingo has given
way to native civil government, the
treaties ratified this week confirm this
and all other acts of the American
military government.

Will Voice Needs of the
Class War Victims

The Labor Defender, an illustrated
monthly magazine to voice the fight
for release of all class war prisoners
will make its appearance on Decem-
Der 1st next 1t will be published by
the International Labor Defense with
offices at 23 South Lincoln Street,
Chicago, Illinois.
There are many victims of the class
struggle in the United States who are
now almost unheard Of They are
rotting away in the dungeons of cap
italism but almost forgotten. Long
and bitter fights to release them have
failed and it appears that many have
lost courage and hope that those
whom the capitalists have succeeded
in getting a stranglehold on can
ever be freed.
Voice of Working Glass Martyrs.
The Labor Defender will probe the
barred cages of the master class and
shed a new light on those working
class martyrs who have spent many,
years away from their homes and
their friends bereft of fresh air and
the pleasure of participate in the
movement of working class freedom.
The story of Ford and Suhr, of
Mooney and Billings, of Mcnamara
and Schmitt and of many others will
again be told and the fight for their
liberation will be given a fresh urge.

Folsom prison, California is again in
the tolls, threatened with death on
the scaffold. There is a hardly a
state in the union that has not its
quota of workers doing penance for
their loyalty to the cause. They must
not be forgotten. Furthermore they
must not rot in Jail.
The first issue of The Labor De-
fender will contain an article by the
rebel poet Ralph Chaplin. He will
tell the story of Sacco and Vanzett
who are sitting in the shadow of the
electric chair in Massachusetts.
The Zeigler frame-up will be treated
by Thurber Lewis who Investigated
the case on the spot for the lnterna-
tional Labor Defense. 1t will be illus
trated with pictures of the defendants,
the mine where the defendants sweat
ed for their masters and the union
hall where the shooting occurred.
The story of the Rakosi trial in
Hungary and the campaign waged. by
the American workers in his behalf;
the story of the Ford and Suhr arrest

Losoysky of the Red International OF
Labor Unions, pointed out that the
social-democpatic trade union bureau

tries was prepared to use all measures
to force back the revolutionary trade

gle against the revolutionary trade
union wing.
Send Protests to Embassies.
After the speeches OF Dobrogianu
and Gera Of Roumania and workers
from the Moscow factories, the meet
ing adopted a protest resolution in
favor of Rakosi and his comrades by
acclamation. The meeting further
elected q delegation to hand the pro-
test to all the embassies in Moscow.
The meeting also dispatched tele-
grams to various working class or

was once again beginning to mobilize
its force, the aims OF the present
struggle Of the Hungarian working
class are to better the economic situ-
alton Of the exploited workers, to
achieve trade union unity and to le-
galize the Communist Party.
Bella Kun pointed out that Rakosi
and his comrades had also worked
for these aims, but that they were far
removed from any intention Of organ
izing any armed struggle for power.
The information of Bella Kun upon the
treacherous and provocative role Of
the Hungarian social-democracy in
the attempts now being made TO crush
the Hungarian working class once
again, in the handing over OF Rakosi
to the vengeful bourgeoisie Of Hun
gary, caused a storm Of indescribable
indignation in the thickly packed
masses. Bella Kun concluded with the
declaration that the powerful and
united protest action of the interna-
tional proletariat could save the Hun
garian comrades from death.
England to Lead Reaction.
Brown of England, joined in the
protest against the white terror in
Hungary and pointed out that the
