build up socialism in spite of capt.
talist environment.
RefOrmist-Imperialist Coalition.
The old theory" that the exploited
cannot do without the exploiters is
at present the cornerstone of the po-
litical philosophy" of the social
democracy, particularly the social
democratic policy of a coalition with
the imperialist bourgeoisie.
This theory" which has developed
into fetish constitutes now one of
the most serious barriers in the way
of the revolutionization of the prole-
tariat of the capitalist countries.
One of the most important results
of the November Revolution is the
fact that it has dealt death blow to
this lying theory"
Such well-known facts as the
growth of Communism in capitalist
countries, the growth of sympathy in
the ranks of the proletariat of all
countries for the working class of the
U. S. S. R., and the flocking of work
ers' delegations to the Soviet Union
are an unmistakable sign that the
seed scattered by the November Re-
volution is already beginning to bear
fruit.
Colonial Revolution.
The November Revolution underA
mined imperialism not only in the
centers of its domination, not only in
the mother countries" 1t also dealt
a blow at the periphery of imperial
ism by undermining Imperialism in
colonial countries.
The overthrow of the landlords and
capitalists by the November Revolu-
ton shattered the shackles of colonial
oppression and freed from it without
exception all of the oppressed peo-
pies of an enormous empire. The pro-
letariat Ncannot accomplish its own
liberation without liberating the OPP
pressed peoples.
The November Revolution carried
out in the U. S. S. R. these national
colonial revolutions not under the
banner of national animosity and in
ternational collisions but under the
banner of mutual confidence ad fra
ternaf rapproachement between the
workers and peasants of the various
nationalities of the U. S. S. R.
Frees Oppressed Peoples.
That is why peoples which hitherto
have been pariahs and slaves have for
first time in the history of mankind
risen to the position of truly free and
truly equal peoples, injecting by their
example the oppressed peoples of the
whole world. 1t means that the revo-
luton ushered in a new epoch, an
epoch of colonial revolutions carried
on in oppressed countries of the world
in conjunction with the proletariat
and under its leadership.
One of the most important results
of the November Revolution is the
fact that it has shown in practice that
liberated non European peoples,
drawn into the channel of Soviet de-
velopment, are we'll able to promote
truly advanced culture and truly ad-
vanced civilization just as European
peoples.
Era of Revolution Arrived.
The November Revolution demon
strated the possibility and expediency
of proletarian international method
with regard to the liberation of OPP
pressed peoples as the only correct
method by demonstrating the posi-
bility and expediency of a fraternal
union between the workers and peas
ants of utterly different Municipalities
on the basis of freedom and interna-
tionalism. The era of undisturbed
exploitation and oppression Of colo
MES and dependencies is past. The
era of liberating revolutions in colo
MES and dependencies. the era of the
awakening of the proletariat of these
countries, the era of it's hegemony in
revolution has come.
Undermines Imperialism.
The November Revolution not only
undermined imperialism, it also Gre
ated in the form of the first prole-
tartan dictatorship a powerful center
of the world revolutionary movement
open to all, such as it never had be-
fore, a center around which it can
now gather its forces and organize a
united revolutionary front of prole-
tarians and oppressed peoples of all
countries against Imperialism.
This means above all that the No
vember Revolution dealt death blow
to world capitalism from which it can
not recover. That is why capitalism
will never regain its pre-revolution
equilibrium" and stability"
This means that the November Re-
volution has raised to certain level
the strength and the fighting capacity
of the oppressed classes throughout
the world, compelling the ruling
classes to reckon with them as new
important factor.
World Revolutionary Forum.
While formerly there was no uni
versal open forum from which one
could demonstrate and formulate the
