co-Vanzetti campaign), show the
revolutionization Of the working
masses.
at would be wrong to think that
capitalist countries face a direct revo-
lutionary situation. No such situation
exists yet, but the working class has
already overcome the consequences of
recent defeats and is beginning new
offensive period.
''The main task of the Communist
International is all-round support for
the beginning of the revolutionary
movement. The Communist Interna-
tional must devote all it's attention to
strengthening it's influence on the
working class, to take the leadership
of the struggle in its hands.
1.-The Communist International is
striving to meet the counteraction of
the Second and Amsterdam Interna-
tionals. A whole series of incontro-
vertible facts show that the Second
International frequently makes a
sharp turn to the right, captivating
to the bourgeoisie. The social demo-
Gratis aim at peaceful specialization
of factories, at a peaceful democratic
cation of trusts, and finally at a
peaceful characterization of the state,
striving for the realization in Europe
of the American principles of agree
ment between labor and capital.
"The social democratic and Commu-
mist differences were never greater
than today. The social democratic
leaders were never so "socIa1isticalfy
disarmed," that is, never so unsocial-
istic as today. The social democratic
and bourgeois attitude toward the
u. S. S. r. is identical, beng ex-
pressed in the formula, We have moth
ing against the U. S. S. R., but de
mand the cessation Of Communist in
ternational activity.
For United Front.
"The Social Democratic attitude to
the U. S. S. r. sharply contradicts
the ever growing working class SYM
pathy toward the U. S. S. K. The
main task of the Communist Inter-
national is the preservation and the
development of the united front tao
tics among the social democratic
working masses. The development
of this tactic must proceed along a
line of intensified struggle against
the Second and Amsterdam Interna-
tionals. In connection with pending
parliamentary elections in many coun-
tries, the Communist Party policy
must be directed toward ruthless
struggle against the social democrats
and other bourgeois parties"
Colonial Problem
/ Bukharin dealt in detail with the
colonial problem, regarding it as the
most important problem from the
viewpoint of the tasks facing the
world revolution.
"The international capitalist econ
omic crisis" he declared, sis fully
reflected by economic conditions in
the colonial countries and class rela-
tons there. Lenin spoke at the
Second Communist International Con-
gress on the necessity Of the differ
entiation of capitalist countries as
subjects Of exploitation from colonial
countries as objects of exploitation.
Lenin saw the possibility of support
of the national liberation movement
under certain conditions.
Revolution Not Dead.
st can be easily be proved by the
! Chinese revolution, for instance, that
the Radek-Piatakov theory, in prin-
ciple, does not hold water. The Chi
nese working class, at the beginning
! of the Revolution when the bour-
geoisie raised the anti-imperialist
struggle primarily against the Brit
ish, could not remain neutral and
could not act against the Chinese bour-
geoisie, as doing so would be tanta-
mount to action on behalf of British
imperialism.
Despite the Opposition's opinion,
the Chinese Revolution is not crushed
it is not dead, but develops on an alb
solutely different basis than hitherto
Most probably we will witness in the
near future new forms of the Chinese
revolution, as all of the revolutionary
forces of the proletariat and the peas
antry are now consolidating in CHINA
