FOR THE COMMUNIST SOCIETY.
The Communist Party derives the scientific
basis for its program and policies by means of
studying the whole history of mankind, and in
particular, by means of studying the fundamental
properties, the most important laws and the path
of development of the capitalist system
By studying the history of previous human So
cieties, and IN particular the structure and deve-
opment OF capitalism, the Communist Party
proves that communism, for which it struggles, is
not creation OF It's own Imagination, but a task
to which life itself and the struggle of contem-
porary social classes is inevitably leading. To
prove this inevitability of the oncoming of Com
munism and of the definite struggle for it, means
to base scientifically the program and tactics of
the Communist Party
And for this it is essential not to produce some
creation of the imagination but to study with the
greatest attention the laws and path of develop
ment OF capitalism, to the inheritance of which
Communism must come.
1t IS essential to show, by means of study of
capitalism and its motvating springs and CONTRA
dictiOns, that capitalism in the course of its own
development creates forces, which reaching their
full growth, bring about the downfall and finally
the complete ruin of capitalism, and it's substtu-
tiOn by the Communist Society
2. WHAT ARE THE CHIEF LAWS OF THE
CAPITALIST SYSTEM?
In the structure and development of the capital
ist system we establish MANY different laws
or rules expressing various relationships peculiar
to capitalism. Among this mass however. there
are few of the most important with the helm of
which one understand all the other laws and
phenomina of capitalism, and these can be reduced
to the following two: l. The law of the exploi
tatlon of the labor power of the proletariat. 2
The law of anarchy( disorganization) and the con-
sequent competition between capitalists. These
two chief laws inherent in capitalism and are
active through the whole course of its existence
right up to its final annihilation.
3. WHAT is THE LAW OF EXPLOITATION
UNDER CAPITALISM?
The class of capitalists, making use in produc-
ton OF the labor power of the proletarians mr.
chased by them /. e., making them work extracts
from labor a greater quantity of products and a
greater value than that which goes for wages: and
this difference, called surplus worth of value. the
capitalists appropriate and use for the multiplica
ton Of their capital for its accumulation e. ex
pansion of the exploitation.
lhe pursuit of this surplus value and profit
constitutes the fundamental motive power of can
lCallsm The constant and hlnit>ess pursuit of
pro1lts the unwearying thirst foI accumulation is
not an accidental popularity of capitalism. but
SINE qua non, which is explained by the fact that
capitalist production is a commodity, anarchistic
system and the whole life of capital depends upon
the market and on the competition there, in which
victory goes only to the strongest l. e., the larg-
est accumulation of capital, which has been able
TO seize the greatest mass of profits
4. WHY is THE PROLETARIAT COMPELLED
TO SUBMIT TO EXPLOITATION?
Because the proletarians have no possibility Of
existing other than through hire-the sale of their
labor power to the owner of the means and i'm
plements OF production, the capitalist; and in the
transaction they are the weaker side, to whom the
capitalist dictates his robbers conditions forcino
the proletariat to agree to low wages. a WORKING
day TO- II, or more hours long, difficult and
often killing working conditions, without any as
surance for the morrow in case of discharge bv
the boss, and so on.
but even under these villainous conditions a
certain part of the proletarians cannot find work
and is compelled to suffer all the torments Of
unemployment and hunger to live as tramps
ilumpenprOletariat), engage in prostitution. etc.
5. IN WHAT DOES THE ANARCHY HINDER
CAPITALISM EXIST?
The anarchy inherent in capitalism consists in
1900 Se*SAA
(factory, plant commercial house. etc., or group
works always independently, individually, separ-
ately from all others, without any plans or ac
counting common to all; works on an uncertain
market, without knowing beforehand the exact
demand of this market, and most important.
without knowing the offers which will be made on
the market by all the other capitalist enterprises
working independently of one another Together
with this, each capitalist enterprise strives for
the greatest profits for itself, and the most ad-
vantageous sale of its commodities on the market
1t IS not surprising that under these conditions as
result OF the anarchy of capitalism, competition
always exists on the market between the various
capitalists and capitalist groups.
This competition consists in the fact that sep
arate capitalists and groups carry on struggle
among themselves on the market-a struggle for
the sale of their commodities or capital, or in
others words, a struggle for the mastery of the
market.
