a re-birth of revolutionary Marxism proves to the
ht the correctness of the conclusions of these twin
giants of the class struggle
It is dictatorship of the working class supported
by the peasantry that rules in Russia-democracy
for the masses rule of the most rigid kind for the
enemies of the workers.
1t is for this reason that there is so much re-
joicing in capitalist socialist circles when al
legged evidences of weakening of the working class
power are brought forward
But workers need pay attention to the mouth
ings Of the workers enemies only to laugh them to
scorn. Lenin here too wrested revolutionary Marx
ism from the hands of its defiers and brought the
MARKHAM teachings sharply to the attention of the
conscious workers He loose the deceptive veil
with which the leaders of the international
had covered the MARKHAM theory of the state in the
transition period proved that only AFTER the work
ing class headed by its revolutionary party has taken
power does the state begin to "wither away"
Said Engels:
'The first act Of the (proletarian) state in which
1t really acts the representative OF the whole of
society, namely the assumption of control the
means of production behalf of society also its
last independent act state. The interference of
the authority Of the state with social relations will
then become superfuous in one field after another,
and will finally cease of itself. The state will not
be abolished; it will wither away"
But this whitening away of the state does not take
class enemies-whether these be internal enemies
the remnants of the old ruling class-or external
enemies in the shape of imperialist nations. In the
Soviet Union the revolution has not yet been COM
pletedit is in the transition stage and there is
fun democracy for all members of society, but only
for the working class.
Lenin says:
in using the term whitening away Engels
quite clearly and definitely refers to the period
AFTER the taking over of the means of production
by the state behalf of the whole of society," that
Is, after the Social Revolution. We all know that
the proletarian form of the state is absolutely
complete democracy. But it never enters the head
of any Of the opportunsts who shamelessly distort
Marx that Engels deal here with the whitening away
Of the democracy. At first sight this seems very
strange. But it win only be unintelligible to one
who has not reflected the fact that democracy is
also state and that consequently democracy win
disappear when the state disappears. Only revolu
ton destroy" the capitalist state. The state
general that is, most complete democracy, can only
wither away"
Is there alarm the whitening away" even OF
democracy-that shibboleth of the capitalist class
and its dupes? Does this to approach the wild
dreams OF the anarchists with their visions OF the
destruction OF "the state" in fell swoop and the
ushering in of perfect freedom night?
