ouoClCe' III d CLASS society, can only be
class justice.
Besides the capitalist class justice that
Sacco and Vanzetti received, there is only
one other justice existing in the world today.
1t also is class justice, but of another class.
1t is the justice of the revolutionary tribun-
ais OF the working class, set up by free work
ers to try such criminals as Thayer and Full
Ter. Such justice of the working class exists
only IN the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
Hcs-for the present. 1t will come later
throughout the world.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti
were anarchists. Today there is practically
nothing remaining of proletarian revolution
airy composition in the anarchist movement
But Sacco and Vanzetti died as revolution
lists, and their fearessness and loyalty are
the pride of the revolutionary working class
of the world. Nicola and Bartoomeo be-
longed to the revolution and the accrued
result of their martyrdom is a strong liga-
ment in the mighty body of revolution What
form does the revolution take? A form
which the two martyrs could not6see, but
which nevertheless their martyrdom will
help to strengthen.
Vanzetti and Sacco were revolutionists in
that they believed in and fought for the
realization of free society-free from ex-
ploltatIon OF man by man-and in that they
trusted to the working class to bring that
change by class struggle. Their aim was
society without government of compulsion-
a state-esS society. Insofar as this alone
is concerned they were correct, but the
methods OF the long struggle to attain their
aims were lost for them in a confusion of
idealistic thinking.
All of the hard and cruel facts of the muir
der of Sacco and Vanzetti demonstrated with
ruthless logic exactly the flaws that exist in
the anarchist views they held The central
point is the question of the state. Nothing
more than the answering murderous course
of the American capitalist class and it's in
stitutions in the Sacco-Vanzetti case, proves
that the working class cannot accomplish
the overthrow and suppression of the pres
ent ruling class without, first the revou-
tionary organization and mass discipline and
second, the ruthless dictatorship of the vic
torious proletariat Nothing better proves
that the proletariat cannot win it's struggle
without the organization of the firmest ele-
ments of the proletariat in the revolutionary
party Of the Communist revolution
If Sacco and Vanzetti are not to have died
III NdlII Tile WORKING CLASS must learn from
their martyrdom some knowledge useful for
destroying the system that murdered them,
and for attaining the free society of which
they dreamed
They must learn the nature of the CAPT.
talist state, an instrument for the suppress
sion of class by another class, and not an
impartial institution above the classes,
serving all equally"
They must learn that for the realization
of the ideals of Sacco and Vanzetti, this capt.
talist class must be overthrown and must be
ruthlessly suppressed by the power of the
working class itself organized as a revolu-
tionary state power of the new form of
workers councils-soviets.
And above all they must learn to fight, and
to fight with the iron discipline of class 10y
atty and revolutionary organization which
alone can lead to victory and free society,
and vengeance for Sacco and Vanzetti.
They must learn that the building of the
revolutionary Communist Party is the i'm
mediate answer to the murder of labors
martyrs.
