WHILE the fuglemen of big business
and the labor haters in general
rave about the Communist menace
it has been discovered that Sc chap
tiers of the Fascist organization are
either organized or in the process OF
organization in the United States. One
of the departments in this black shirt
organization is called "The Squad of
Death" a terrorist outfit which visits
vengeance on those who fail to obey
its DEGREES or Furnishes even with
death, those who are in opposition to
its policy. The Fascist operate open.
ly in the United States. They openly
profess their belief in dictatorship
and the overthrow of government by
force and violence. Yet the benevo-
lent democratic. government which re-
fuses to recognize Soviet Russia be-
cause the workers and peasants rule
there looks with a calm eye on the
activities of the Fascist, for the good
reason that they favor capitalist
dictatorship.
THE growth of anti-militarist SEN
timent among the students of col
leges and universities thruout the
country is causing considerable worry
to our strutting swagger stick militia
rists. They blame it all on Moscow,
despite the fact that not one half of
one per cent of those students know
that Communism is a political doctrine
and not something to eat. The mill
tary hacks, who are menials of big
business, being morons themselves,
are of the opinion that labelling anti
war propaganda, Communism, will
kill the thing. 1t win not. Neither
will it hurt Communism. All sane,
humane people are opposed to the
slaughter of human beings. Commu-
nism is the only road to universal
peace, but peace must come over the
dead body of the capitalist SYSTEM
the root of all modern wars.
TINE K. X. X. bubble is bursting
4 rapidly. The suckers who once
threw down ten dollar bills for mi
tiation fees and as many more dollars
for pillow cases are now either broke
financially or morally. The night shirt
knights are breaking up and with this
deflation of a once powerful force of
evil, we notice a considerable reduc-
ton in lynchings, tarring and feather
ing, rape cases, arson and other vir-
tues which this collection of criminals
and mental detectives inflicted on the
country. With the conviction of the
rapist, Stephenson of indianapolis and
the failure of the khan to elect a mayor
in Detroit, the bottom fell out of the
biggest but most dangerous farce that
ever dragged its sinking carcass
across the country.
THE khan as we knew it for the
L. past few years is politically dead
as a national factor. But it will con-
tinue to exist in spots. The small
group of confidence men who have
fed a hare Drained following for a
number of years ON crazy stories of
priestly deviations from the moral
path will continue to peddle their
goods from the old stand. Those per-
verts are a blot on the social land
scape. Much tho we oppose the catho-
lie church, as one Of the strongest
bulwarks of capitalism and the great
est mental joss house in the world,
il is at least entitled to the respect
that must be accorded to an intelli-
gent enemy. The whirling dervishes
and religious snake charmers who live
by feeding their sexually starved and
Intellectually bankrupt clientele on
tales Of papal libertinism, in lieu of
the more daring diet served out by the
salacaious magazine vendors are only
entitled to loathing and contempt.
TN looking over an old copy of the
International Socialist Review I ran
into an article by Karl Kautsky. which
justified the stand of the German So
cialists in supporting the war, on the
ground that the German government
was better government than that Of
the car. And who do you think
should denounce Kautsky as rene
gade socialist and nationalist? None
other than William English Walling,
the most contemplate backslider that
ever sold his birthright for Wall
Streets dollars. Walling has long
since swallowed his socialism or bet
ter, vomited It. He is now a more
debased renegade than Kautsky. The
latter is great renegade, in the sense
that he once rendered great service
