ETY. of forms of building up socialism
will be necessary.
The. various conditions and ways
by which the proletariat will achieve
it's dictatorship in various countries
may be divided Systematically into
three main types:
Countries of highly developed
capitalism UNITED States, Germany
Great Britain, etc. with powerful
productive forces, high degree OF
Capitalization of production, rela-
lively small significance of small
production and with long estab-
lished bourgeois, democratic, polit-
ical system. In these countries, the
fundamental political demand of the
program is direct transition to the
dictatorship of the proletariat. In
the sphere of economics the most
characteristic are: The expropria-
ton of the whole of large-scale pro-
duction; the organization of large
number of state Soviet farms, only
a small share of the land to be
transferred to the peasantry; unor-
ganizod market relationships to be
permitted only on a small scale.
Socialist development generally and
the collectivization of peasant farm
ing in particular to proceed at a
rapid rate.
Countries with medium develop
ment of capitalism Russia UP to
1877, Poland, etc., having consid-
cradle survivals of semi-feudal re-
lationships in agriculture, certain
minimum of industry, sufficient for
successful socialist construction and
with as yet incomplete bourgeois
democratic reforms. In these coun-
tries the bourgeois revo-
luton may grow into social revolu-
tion. Here democratic demands
may be advanced which, in the
process of the struggle, may grow
into the demand for workers rev
olution. In these countries the
agrarian revolution plays a more or
less important part. The dictator
ship of the proletariat may not be
brought about Immediately, but in
the process of the bourgeois demo-
cratic revolution growing into the
social revolution, i. e., in the process
of transition from the democratic
dictatorship of the proletariat and
the peasantry to the socialist die
tatorship of the proletariat and the
peasantry to the socialist dictator
ship of the proletariat. In the
process of expropriating large
landed property considerable por-
ton of the confiscated land is
placed at the disposal of the pea
santry. The extent of market re-
lationships is considerable. The
task of organizing the peasantry in
Fco-operative societies and later to
combine them in production is one
Of the most important tasks in the
work of socialist construction. The
rate of this work of construction is
much slower than it will be in the
countries in the first mentioned
group.
Colonial and semi-colonial coun.
tries. (China, India, ,etc.)sa In these
countries industry is in an en-
bryonic stage, sometimes in fairly
we'll developed stage, but inadequate
for independent socialist construc-
ton. Feudal medieval relationships
predominant in the economics as
well as in their political super
structure, and the important indus
tries, commerce, banks and prin-
cipal means of transport, ETC., are
concentrated in the hands Of for
eign imperialist groups. The most
important task in such countries is
to fight against feudalism and con-
sistently to conduct the agrarian
peasant revolution on the one hand,
and to fight for national indie
pendence against the foreign im-
periahsts on the other. The transit
ton to the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat in such countries, is possible
only through series of preparatory
stages, only after the bourgeois
democratic revolution has grown
into social revolution. Successful
socialist construction will be pos
sible only on the condition that direct
support is obtained from countries
in which the proletarian dictatorship
is established.
In the present epoch, in which
the task of the proletariat capturing
power has come to the front in de-
veloped capitalist countries, in which
the dictatorship of the proletariat
is already established in the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics and
represents a factor of world signifi-
canoe, the movement for liberation
in colonies and semi-colonial coun-
tries brought into being blythe pene-
tration of world capitalism into
these countries, -notwithstand-
ing the unripeness of social rela-
tionships in these countries--lead to
their socialist development, provided
they receive the support and as
sistance of the proletarian dictator
ship and the international prole-
tartan movement in general.
