ierialism, he gave his attention to the
outh as a section of the working
class which was most energetic, least
weighed down by hoary tradition, and
it to carry on militant battle against
he enemy.
The struggle led by Liebnecht did
not die on January 18th, 1919. Lieb-
knecht was essentially a man Of the
movement. With the knowledge that
the organized working class alone
could carry out it's emancipation did
he work to transform the social-de-
mocracy into. revolutionary party
and to build up revolutionary youth
movement. His work and the work
of countless, nameless revolutionary
heroes the world over, have born their
fruit. The inheritors of the best tradi-
tions of Liebknecht are the Commun-
list International and the Young Com
munist International, the latter of
which inherits not only the organiza-
ton which Liebknecht helped to found
in 1907, but its militant spirit, intensi-
fed and clarified by Vladimir Ilyitch
Lenin.
The anniversary of the murder of
Liebknecht and Luxembourg is a call
to the working class youth of the
world. New world wars hang like
menacing clouds on the horizon of
the people. The constant, anxious,
and futile conferences, called every
month by the desperate rulers of the
capitalist nations of the world find
themselves confronted by their own
helplessness in the face of growing
revolutionary movements and sharpen
ing crises in their imperialist policies.
AS in 1914, the innate sores of imper-
ialism are coming to head. The
workers are threatened by new mum
dation of imperialist war, with its
slaughter of the working class youth
and the destruction and misery of
millions of the people.
On the shoulders of the youth falls
the task of carrying on the struggle
against militarism and Imperialism

THE outstanding contributions of
l. Liebknecht to the working class
was his analysis of capitalist militar-
ism and his energetic struggle against
it, despite opposition from both the
capitalist class and his own party, the
social democracy. Secondly, his ener-
gctic struggle to organize the youth,
first nationally and finally interna-
tionally.
At the time of Liebknecht's entry
into the socialist movement, capitalist
europe was undergoing a period of
expansion and colonization. Such
vents as the Spanish-American war;
The Russ-Jap war, the Boer war, the
extreme tension in relations between
Germany and England, were all sur
face indications of the development Of
that period.
This expansion and colonization po-
icy brought with it increased budgets
for the armed forces of capitalism.
Practically every country in Europe
had compulsory military training for
every able bodied youth between the
ages of 81 and 20. This fact made the
issue of militarism Of particular inter-
est to the youth.

Liebknecht and Our Revolutionary Activities

1t is the dominant force in the redivi-
sion of the world
Coupled with the struggle against
capitalist militarism, we must struggle
against the pacifst illusions which are
being generated in the minds of the
American youth by a whole host of
pacifist organizations. We must point
out that paciism is a hopeless utopia
The cry generally of disarmament
means the disarmament of the strug-
CLING proletariat in the face of the
armed forces of Imperialism. We must
point out by the examples of all
former revolutions, that the struggles
for the conquest of power were essen
TALLY armed struggles.
Our work against the citizens mill
tary training camps, etc, both from
within and without, must not be let
up but be intensified. Our struggle
against the compulsory capitalist mill
tary training in the schools must be
turned from the channels of mere
pacifist sentimentalities, to one of
alliances with the working and peas
ant youth for an effective struggle
against capitalist militarism. We must
start the task Of building net work
OF nuclei in the armed forces of Am.
erican Imperialism and link up the
struggles for the immediate demands
OF the soldiers and sailors with the
economic and political movements OF
the working class. We must gain
connections with the masses OF young
workers and peasant youth in the
colonies OF American Imperialism and
arrange Joint actions. Our internal
educational work on the feminist con.
ception of our antimilltarist struggle
must become systematic and regular
part OF our work. In all these tasks
all the parts of our organizatlonal ma
chine the press, etc, must play their
part. In this way the spirit of Lieb-
knecht lives and strives In our reyol,,.

military organizations, but also by the
other attributes of militarism which
manifests themselves when militarism
carries out its tasks.
"Militarism is not only a means of
defense against the external enemy;
it has a second task, which comes
more and more to the fore as class
contradictions become more marked
and as proletarian class consciousness
keeps growing. Thus the outer form
of militarism and its inner character
take a more definite shape: its task
is to uphold the prevailing order to
society, to prop up capitalism and all
reaction against the struggle of the
working class for freedom. Militarism
manifests itself here as a mere tool
In the class struggle, as tool in the
hands Of the ruling class"
Thus we see militarism as an in
evitable phenomen of capitalism which
constitutes one of its strongest weap-
ons for domination. Liebknecht could
see militarism poisoning the minds of
the young workers, winning them
ideologically and organizationally over
to its fold, hence his strong efforts
for the founding Of the revolutionary
youth movement. Militarism in this
the imperialist era OF capitalism is
being used more and more to curb the
revolutionary actions OF the prole-
tariat and to safeguard the prevailing
wage slave system.
The struggle against capitalist mill
tarism is OF paramount importance

coming more reformistic. as the years
went by.
With the declaring of the war, the
true character of the socialist interna-
tional was exposed. The overwhelm-
ing majority of the parties and the
leadership became the right hand sup
porters of the government. The COM
mon cause of opposition to the estab-
lished government, which had held
the various extreme elements together
within the International, was now
broken. The leaders of the socialist
international became the statesmen"
of capitalism.
The Young Socialist International
received a terrible shock, as did the
entire working class by this base act
of betrayal. But they soon rallied and
deposed their traitorous secretary,
Dannenberg and in his place put Com
rade Will Nuremberg, today one of
the leaders of the German Communist
Party. AS the years rolled swiftly by,

spite of all their efforts to the con-
-rary the capitalist nations will soon
fly once more at each others throat.
And what part will the young workers
of this glorious" country play in that
time? What will we be able to do
when that day comes, as it surely
will? 1t is not sufficient to say that
we will follow in the footsteps of
Lenin and Liebknecht." We may re-
iterate that "the future belongs to the
youth" but that is not sufficient. The
German revolution of 1919 can teach
us many lessons, one of the most i'm
portant Of which is the necessity Of
an organization that has its basis deep
in the masses of the workers. To the
extent that our work in times of peace
goes on will depend our influence
among the masses in times of war.
The day-by-day work that we carry
on now must be Intensified. The work
of basing our organization upon the
basis of places OF work must be
doubled. Our propaganda must reach
larger and larger sections of the
young workers. Our theoretical train
ing within the organization must go
on apace. In this way we can effect
lively carry out the work that Lieb.
kneeht so heroically and successfully
began.
We Must Build Well.
IL is seven years since Liebknecht
and Luxembourg were foully done to
death. 1t is seven years since the
workers and the young workers OF
Berlin were martyred. The German
workers have learned their lessons
at terrible cost. But the sun OF the
Communist International is rising and
dry-rot, stagnation and decay is eat
ing out the heart of the Second Inter-
national and its parties. Truly Lieb-
knecht worked well; Il is now our
task to study his work. to act upon
his conception of the bitter nature OF
the class struggle; above all, how
ever, we can best remain true TO his
work and memory by devoting oursel.
