Spargo's Journey from Socialism
to FaCism

able parody of the worst elements of
German social-democratic opportun-
ism, Spargo would long ago have been
kicked out of the party as a scoundrel
and swindler fit only 20 sell himself
to the people who now pay him for
his services that he donated to them
gratis While at the helm of the social
list forces.
His first outstanding crime was to
write book wherein, by series of
crude inventions, distortions and
downright forgeries, he tried to prove
the compatibility of socialism and re-
ligion. For this he was severely con-
demned by the Marxists of that day,
including the present writer. But the
official Hillquit, Berger, J. Stitt Will
son, Walter Thomas Mills, executive
of the socialist party, defended Spar
go and accused US of conspiracy to dis
rupt the party. To distort Marx in
the most shameful manner was
virtue, to defend Marxism a crime
against the party.
however, we IN the United States
were not alone in our Pronunciation
Of Spargo. 1t was not long before he
wrote what purported to be life of
Marx. So low, so vile, SO utterly
unprincipled and fraudulent was this
work that when it was translated into
German the social-democratic party
prohibited its circulation and Franz

Upward Trend Continues.
"How long will the privileges con-
tinue and are they going up or down
What is the trend? 1t is still up
ward, American capitalism having
not yet reached it zenith, the peak
of its power"
Wolfe then pointed to the develop
ment Of trusts as the recent merger
among bakerys, ice cream and florist
corporations. He said that no in
dustry in running to capacity of its
plants.
"What effect will this upward
trend have on the American work
ing class" he asked. "This tactic
of corrupting parts of the working
class will continue and will drive
parts of the working class Of this
country to the right. This situation
will continue as long as American
capitalism is on the upgrade and con-
tinues its briberies."
For Upper Strata
Referring to Matthew Vol, Wolfe
pointed ont that VOL wants the
of the workers being opposed to
using them as organs Of working
class struggle. Therefore he is OPP
posed to strikes and any sharp form
for the working class struggle.
For Class Peace.
"The present drive against the left
wing and the Communist is a move
for class peace. Woll and those who
support him find it necessary to drive
out the left wing so they can fulfill
their promise. In 1919 the red raids
were made directly by the govern
ment under the command of A.

power of the government. In 1927 a

liant revolutionist branded, the thing
as a disgrace to the international
(the pre-war second internationally
and an insult to the memory of Marx.
His only rival in Marx distortion was
James Oneal whose ability to twist
the works of the theoretical founder
of the revolutionary movement is only
equalled by his mastery in perverting
American history.
But the exposure of Spargo by Me-
hiring did not prevent the socialist
party circulating his disgraceful
work and he still remained one of its
bright and shining lights.
What was a Mehring in Germany
compared to the ex-pulpit-pounder,
Spargo, in the United States?
Had the socialist party been
MARKHAM party there would have been
no Spargo of yesterday and therefore
no Spargo of today. He and Frank
Bohn constitute the rottenest offshoot
of socialist opportunism, but others
are on the road to keep them COM
pany and sooner than many expect
old socialist acquaintance will be
renewed and old alliances restnrccted
under the bloody banner of fascism.
Just as Spargo's career in the So
cialist party indicated the road he
would eventually take, 50 the present
activities of his former associates
prove that they are headed in the
same direction.
