The Working-Class Has
the Last Laugh at the
Expense of Its Enemies
BY j. LOUIS ENoDAHI.

than their aristocratic enemies, the
Russian Revolution gave power to
one group only (the Bolsheviks)
whose members were cemented in
their unity by 20 years of common
effort and common persecution. The
worst crime of the opposition, it is
added, lies in the fact that it is risk
ing split in the party.
Tho Bolsheviks do not mind argu-
ing or disagreeing among them
selves, but will not admit real rup-
ture--much less provoke it by VOL

GRITTY, they say. Thus, 1t is recalled,
Stain, whose influence is para
mount in the present administration,
refused three years ago to allow
Trotzky to be expelled from the Pol
itical Bureau of the Communist
Party, which is the governing body
Of Russia. Stain stands fast by the
tradition Of Lenin who beat down
those who disagreed with him with
the utmost vehemence, but did not
on that account find it necessary to
arrest or exile them.
WHEN 1T COMES TO PRAC-
TICE, 1T is DECLARED, THE
COMMUNIST PARTY is AS UNIT
ED AS EVER, JUST AS THE
WHOLE RUSSIAN NATION, DES-
PITE VARIOUS MILES,

ization of its kind that the workers
in all history have ever had to lead
their revolution in any country, is
greater than any individual or group
Of individuals. No individual or
group of individuals can alone give
strength to the All-Union Commun-
list Party. Individuals or groups of
individuals only become prominent
and are given power as they develop
and carry out the correct Bolshevik
line in the work OF the Communist
Party. The strength of the Com
munist Party, as a unified power,
has twice been shown in combating
the incorrect views of Leon Trotsky,
first, and later Of Gregory Zinoviev.
That the All-Union Communist
Party should successfully, and with
apparently very little difficulty, meet
and solve these differences, rouses
the hysterical rage of the whole
capitalist world, including its social
list allies.
The complete confession of the
capitalist press as to the fraudulent
nature OF its malicious propaganda
can leave no doubt in the mind of
any worker or farmer concerning
the absolute stability of the Soviet
Power. When the hysteria was at
its height, and the cheapest lies
were peddled as unassailable truth,
some misgivings might have been
aroused among poorly informed
workers. But the fate that has
overtaken this latest Anti-Soviet eff
fort should convince all who labor
that the Bolshevik triumph stands
as adamant against the capitalist
world. And they must know at least
some of the fundamental reasons
why this is so, and thus be doubly
fortified against such attempts in
the future.
The capitalists and their press
must therefore record signal de-
feat as a result of this. their most
recent anti-working class activity.
They got their fingers badly burned.
