blow at world capitalism from
which it cannot recover, Stain
says: "The era of the stabiliza-
tion of capitalism is past and
the legend of the steadfastness
of the bourgeois order has been ex-
ploded. The era of the downfall of
capitalism has come"
The text Of the articl1 follows in
full:
The November Revolution is not
only a revolution on a national
scale" It is above all an inter
national revolution on world scale
for it indicates a radical change in
the world history of mankind, veer-
ing from the old capitalist order to
the new socialist order.
Ends Exploitation.
The November Revolution differs
in principle from all revolutions Of
the past. 1t sets itself the task of not
substituting one form of exploitation
by another group of exploiters, it aims
at the abolition of all exploitation of
man by man, of all sundry groups of
exploiters, at the establishment of the
proletarian dictatorship, by placing
power in the hands of the most revolu-
tionary of all hitherto existing op-
pressed classes, at the organization
of new socialist society which knows
no classes.
That is why the victory of the No
vember Revolution indicates radical
change in the history of mankind
This is also the root of the profound
sympathy which the oppressed classes
of all countries harbor for the Novem-
Der Revolution, seeing in it guarantee
Of their own liberation.
Breach In World Imperialism.
There is a series of fundamental
questions in respect of which the eff
feet of the November Revolution on
revolutionary development through
out the world makes itself felt.
The revolution is remarkable first
and foremost because it has made a
breach in the front of world imperial
ism, because it has overthrown the
imperialist bourgeoisie in one of the
biggest capitalist countries, placing
power into the hands Of the socialist
proletariat.
The class OF wage slaves oppressed,
prosecuted and exploited has risen for
the first time in the history of man
kind to the pasition of the ruling
class, injecting by it's example the
proletarians Of all countries. 1t took
from the landlords and the capitalists
the instruments and means of produc-
tion and made them public prop
erty, setting up thereby socialist own
ership against bourgeois ownership.
By doing this it exposed the capital
ist lie that bourgeois ownership is in
violable, sacred and eternal. It de-
prived the bourgeoisie of power and
political rights; it destroyed the bour-
geois state apparatus and handed
over power to the proletarian democ-
racy.
Lafargue was right when he said
rs far back as 1887 that the day after
the revolution "all former capitalists
will be deprived of the franchise"
Exposes Social Democracy.
The November Revolution exposed
the social democratic lie that peace
full transition towards socialism is
possible thru bourgeois parliamentar-
ism. The November Revolution did
not and could not stop at this. Hav-
ing destroyed the old bourgeois order,
it began to build the new socialist
order.
The ten years since the November
Revolution have been ten years Of
constructive work in regard to the
Communist Party, the party trade
unions, the Soviets, the cooperatives,
cultural organizations, transport ser
vices, industry and the Red Army.
The undeniable successes which So
cialism has achieved in the U. S. S. r.
on all fronts show clearly that the
proletariat can successfully govern
the country without land in opposi-
tion to) the bourgeoisie, successfully
build up industry without (and in op-
position to) bourgeois control, sue
