Theses for Agitators On Day Of March 18th

and the lessons drawn from the defeat
OF 1871 as well as of the victory of
October 1917.
Z The revolutionary workers of all
" countries are conducting their
present struggle for the abolition of
the power of capital and for the die
tatorship of the proletariat under the
leadership of the Communist Interna
tional and its sections. Revolutionary
Marxism, Bolshevism, Leninism-ii
the only direct continuation OF the
life-work of the first great teachers of
the working class, Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels, the direct partici
pants and leaders of the fight Of the
proletariat in 1S4S and 1871.
Social democracy, the Second In
ternational, has rejected the continue
ton Of the revolutionary fight which
was begun in the preceding revolu-
tions. They turn to the workers with
the request to reject the class strug-
gle. They themselves stand at the
head of bourgeois governments or aid
directly in their activity. From their
midst have arisen many executioners
such as the German social democrats
Noske, Ebert and Hoersing, the Hun
garian social democrats, the Esthon-
ian, Finnish socialists, who, with their
own hands, organized the military
slaughter Of the revolutionary upris-
ing of the working class.
THE working class, which carries on
| the work of the cause of the Paris
Communards, must conduct deter
mined, ruthless struggle against the
whole bourgeois front, and with I'M
flinching will, drive from their midst
the social democrats, the watch dogs
Of the bourgeoisie, who weaken the
revolutionary energies of the working
class and deliver them defenceless to
their enemy class.
Only If the working class ,unites in
the only workers party, the Commun-
list, will it be prepared for and capable
Of meeting the decisive struggle
against the bourgeoisie. Only then
will, it be able to prevent a repetition
Of the mistakes of the Partisan Com.
munards and be able to achieve an
equally decisive victory as that which
the Russian proletariat achieved in
October 1917.
The Paris Commune of 1871 be-
THa dueathed to the revolutionary pro
letariat the first experiences in the
sphere of the organization of its
power, its dictatorship.
The Paris workers realized that they
could not complete their liberation ii
they built on the foundation of the ex-
listing bourgeois state. They over
threw this state and gave their power
a firm basis. Simple workers. ALSO
lutely unknown up to that time, cour-
ageously took into their hands the
lead in the revolutionary commune,
beset on all sides by enemies
Two armies were against the com
mune which until the day previously
had still been fighting each other; the
armies of French and German capital
But the defeat of the commune can
be ascribed in the final analysis to
the vacillations in the ranks of the
Communards, their refusal to make
the decisive attack against fortified
Versailles, where the bourgeoisie
with their leader, Theirs, had taken
refuge.
The defeat of the Paris Commune
was actually a consequence of the

and is conducting an open, violent
campaign against the revolutionary
movement Of the peoples OF the East
and OF the colonies, subjected to Brit
ish imperialism.
THE "pacifist" and democratic"
| Herriot, supported by the social
lists, is trying to disguise with phrases
his open desertion to the imperialist
policy of force introduced by Poin-
care.
Under Herriot reprisals against thu
Communists have begun and are be-
coming more and more intensified, the
military occupation of the Cologne
district was prolonged, but with re-
spect to the Soviet Republic, the pol
icy of the British conservatives has
been initiated.
IN Germany, as a logical result of six
years Of social democratic betrayal
of the coalition government, power
fell into the hands of heavy industry
and the Junkers, the party of the Ger
man nationalists, of the monarchists.
The characteristic phenomenon in the
sphere of international politics, is the
general offensive of world capital
against the colonial and semi-colonial
peoples, under the slogan of the
united front" of the whole bourgeois
lie, organized the British conservative
government.
DACIFIST phrases are completely
1 unmasked by the increased arma-
ments on land, sea and air with re-
course to the destructive chemical
means for future wars; the refusal, in
spite of the Versailles treaty, of the
allies to evacuate the Cologne district;
and the preparations of world capital
for an armed attack on Soviet Russia.
In view of the increasing reaction in
all countries, and the breathless pre-
parations for fresh imperialist wars,
the working class must close it's ranks
and march in solid united front
under the leadership of its revolutions
airy vanguard, the Communist Party,
and the Communist International.
HURING the revolutions of 184S
- and 1S71,s the bourgeoisie had
already manifested that unlimited
cruelty of which it is capable in the
fight for the maintenance of it's privi-
leges and it's power against the work
ing class which ventures to rise up to
secure its own liberation. sdD-
And at present also, the more deter
mined becomes the will of the van
guard of the working class to over
throw the bourgeoisie by revolution,
the more ruthlessly does the bour-
geoisie deal with the fighters for the
cause Of the workers, no matter
whether the bourgeoisie in question is
monarchist, fascist or a republi-
can power.
THE prisoners OF capital who fell in
l to the hands of their class enemies
at the defeat of the Hungarian and
Bavarian Soviet Republics, are still
languishing in the prisons of Bavaria
and Hungary under the most unendur-
able conditions. The prisons of Ger
many are filled to overlooking with
prisoners who were imprisoned after
the revolutionary fights of 1920 and
1921 in the Hamburg uprising and dur
ing the other fights in October in
1928.
The prisons of the colonial countries
of Great Britain and France are filled

to overlooking with revolutlonaries
who fought for the overthrow Of the
imperialist yoke imposed by the Eu-
ropean bourgeoisie on the colonial
peoples of the East.
The republics Of the German social
democrat Ebert and of the Polish So
cialist Pilsudski, the monarchies of
Roumania and Jugo-Slayia, the .free"
republic Of American capital, vie with
each other In the effort to invent the
most outrageous prosecutions against
the Communist vanguard Of the work
ing class.
THE social democrats Of Esthonia,
4 whose ranks the Reval uprising OF
the Esthonian workers penetrated, to-
gether with the wealthy peasants and
the spectators, and with the full en-
dorsement of the Second International,
before the eyes of the whole Of Eu-
rope, mass execution of workers are
organized, in most cases simply be-
cause they belong to the working class.
Cynically and insolently the Hungar-
ian social democrats, under the pres
sure of the workers, publish their no.
torious agreement with the bloody
Hungarian ruler, Horthy. while spe-
cial commission sent by the Second
International to investigate" these
base dealings of the Hungarian social.
lists, openly endorses the part played
by their friends in the bloody settle
ment Of accounts with the Hungarian
working class.
THE total number of victims Of the
/ white terror during the period
from 1918 to 1924 amounts to half a
million. In the uprisings in Germany,
Finland and Hungary (without count
ing the victims Of white terror in Rus
sia), etc., 100000 people were killed,
100000 were compelled to leave their
country, tens of thousands are in pris-
on $1,000 in Germany, 5000 in Poland,
5000 in Italy, 5000 in the Baltic Dor
der states, and 1000 in the Balkans.
The working class must put an end
to this white terror.
In the course of the last year the
fight for the liberation of political
prisoners assumed a violent character.
On March Is our slogan "Liberate all
the political prisoners who have sui.
fered in the fight for the cause Of the
workers and for the liberation Of op.
pressed peoples" must resound more
powerfully and unite millions of work:
ers in street demonstrations and pro-
cessions.

VI social democrats, who are prepar-
ing a new campaign against the Com
munist Party Of Germany, the batter
ingram of the proletarian revolution,
are having recourse to the great pro-
vocative "Tcheka tarial"
Spies and provocateurs of the Ger

Of the Communist Party Of Germany
during the period of the revolutionary
events in October 1928, and under in
structions from the social democratic
