most murderous counter-revolution
This however is just the concrete personification
of the question to the two paths open to the class
forces and the fight between them. The first path
is that of Liberal compromising solution of the
question, a union of China on the basis of "per-
manent" bourgeois order of justice under an eco
nomic protectorate of imperialism with correspond
ing concessions the part of the latter and of a
compromise with the feudalists within the country
The second way of solving the question is that of
"pebeian" solution of the tasks of the democratic
revolution, of a decisive determination of all rem
nants of feudaty, decisive fight against imperial
ism, the dictatorship of the workingclass and the
peasantry, the prospect of following socialist path
Or in other words, fight for the hegemony in the
bourgeois democratic revolution between the work.
ingclass and the Liberal bourgeoise. This struggle
for the hegemony or, which amounts to the same
thing, the struggle between the liberal and the pie
beian line of development of the Chinese revolution,
is the very grist Of the present class conflicts.
The more dangerous the situation is at persent,
the theoretically must the third camp be sup

workers. peasants and petty bourgeois be modified
The 'plebs" must be organized and put on it's feet

1t is obvious that the policy of the Communist In
ternational is to mobilize the to let loose
the agrarian revolution, to unchan the labor move
ment, to fight to the death against traitors and
renegades. One of the chief slogans must be:
workers and peasants trust in your own forces
aonei Do not trust the generals and officers! Or
ganize your armed troops" The fight is develop

acity all attempts to come to an understanding on
the part of the semi-agents of Chang Kaishek and
Feng. 1t is imperative to steer towards purgng the
leading section of the Kuomintang of these vaciat-
ing elements 1t is essential to consolidate the real
"Jacobn" plebean cadres which capable of hold
ing out in the fight, in spite of all dangers and de-
feats. Feng has gone over to the camp of the
opponents of the peoples revolution; we must de-

It would be absurdly naive to imagine that the
Communists, the wokers and peasants are now under
obligation to pursue tactics of compromises with
Feng Co. Such tactics could only be based on an
attitude of absolute abandonment of the agrarian
revolution and of the fight for the plebean way Of
Chinese development.
There is however reason to adopt such an at
titude. Even supposng that Wuhan were to be
surrounded by the enemy and to fall, the struggle
would have to go in another form. 1t is by no
means an easy task to effect military occupation
