Bela Kun Speaks at Comintern Session

party has been internally consolidate,
by the drawing in of all capable com
rades into the party work. The party
press has improved.
Ruth Fischer spoke Of a concentra
ton of forces, but described that con
centration Of forces which has already
begun as a right deviation. After hel
shameless campaign against promi
nent and capable comrades like Thael
heimer and Brandler, she has now
found another victim in Ernst Meyer
who is, however, a ten times better
revolutionary than Maslov or Ruth
Fischer.
Despite the dishonesty of Ruth
Fischer the Communist Party Of Ger
many will advance along the way
which it has chosen. The hopes OF
those who believe that the Maslov
and Ruth Fischer elements will once
again obtain the leadership of the par
ty thru their penetance, are doomed
to disappointment. I join with Thael
mann in his declaration that Maslov
and Ruth Fischer are finished politi-
cally and morally for the party lead
ership once and for all.
Both the economic and the world
political analysis and the perspective
Of the Comintern are correct. The
fact, however that we have ex
perienced catastrophe collapse in
Germany, a defeat in Esthonia and
Bulgaria, and difficult party situa
ton in Norway, gives food for thought
The reason for this is the insult
ficient clarity Of the tactical line and
the fact that it was not carried thru
with sufficient flrmness.
Marx and Engels were considerably
in error as to the perspective Of the
world revolution. Their policy, how
ever, was clear and certain. The
theses of the NTH congress contain 3
certain contradiction between the
thesis upon trade union unity and tbs
formulation upon the political parties
| am in complete agreement with tht
formulation concerning the social
democracy. 1t is, however, question
able, whether the definition in this
form was tactical. The formulation
regarding the social-democracy pro
duced doubts as to the honesty of tn,
campaign for trade union unity. Tht
socialdemocratic workers in the shop.
and in the trade unions did not un
derstand how unity was possible will
such foundations.
1t is high time that we stop describ
ing mistakes and deviations as RICH
or ultra-left and commence analyzin,
the concrete mistakes and exposin,
their reasons and sources. The econ
omic analysis is decisive, but the sub
jective factor must not be under
estimated. A firm Communist Party
clearly aware of its aims, can over
come tremendous difficulties.
| ME must win the peasantry and tn,
w petty bourgeoisie; we must "a
forward as their honest defenders
Broad sections of the middle. ant
peasant bourgeoisie were forced into
the rank of the proletariat, even il
the victorious countries, like Franc,
and England and even in America. TIL,
agrarian question is stiIl unsolvet
even in the bourgeois sense in many
countries.
An agrarian crisis exists alrnos
everywhere. And this makes the oh
jective situation for our propagand,
favorable. This question must be care
fully studied in order to win tn,
majority of the toilers.
Some are of the opinion that tht
Comintern is going to the right. Moth
ing is more mistaken than this. TIL
united front, the formation Of lef
wing in the working class movement
the struggle for daily demands, this i
a correct tactic. Just as Lenin though
OF the tea-water of the workers a,
well as of the world revolution, s,
must we press the daily demands a
well as the final aim. This is tn
only way in which We can and il
which we win be victorious! (Grea
applause.)
