In the struggle for the dictator
ship of the proletariat and for the
subsequent transformation of the
social system, an alliance of work
ers and peasants is formed against
the alliance of the landlords and the
capitalists, under the intellectual
and political hegemony of the pro-
letariat, and this alliance serves
as the basis of the dictatorship of
the proletariat
The characteristic features of the
transitional period are: the ruth
less suppression of the resistance of
the exploiters; the organization of
socialist construction; the mass
training of men and women in the
spirit of socialism and the overcom-
ing of classes.
The transitional period begins to
change into Communist society only
after these great historical tasks
have been fulfilled.
Thus, a necessary condition pre-
cedent for the transition of world
capitalist economy to socialist econ
omy is the dictatorship of the world
proletariat, This dictatorship can
be brought about only after social
ism has achieved victory in certain
countries, when the newly estab-
lished proletarian republics have en-
tered into federation with already
existing proletarian republics, when
this federation has grown and at
tracted to itself the colonies which
have emancipated themselves from
the yoke of Imperialism and finally
when this federation of republics
has become the World Union of So
Wet Socialist Republics, which will
unite the whole of mankind under
the hegemony of the international,
State organized proletariat.
The conquest of power by the
proletariat is not the peaceful "con-
quest" of the existing bourgeois
State machine by means of a par
liamentary majority. The conquest
of power by the proletariat is the
violent overthrow of bourgeois pow
err, the destruction of the capitalist
State apparatus bourgeois armies,
police, bureaucratic hierarchy,
courts, parliaments, etc. and it's re-
placement by new organ of pro-
letarian power, primarily as wea-
pom for the suppression of exploit
ters.
AS was shown by the Russian and
Hungarian revolutions - which i'm
measurably enlarged the experience
of the Paris Commune of 1871 -
the most expedient form of prole-
tartan state power, as a rule, is the
Soviet State.
This Is precisely the type of State,
which emerging directly from the
very broadcast mass movement,
brings out the maximum of mass
activity and consequently serves as
the surest guarantee of final VIC
tory. The Soviet form Of State re-
presents the highest form of demo-
crazy, namely, proletorion democra-
~, as distinct from bourgeois de-
! mocracy, which represents bourgeois
