ments from their economic positions,
and great progress in the general
process of soeialisation.
A considerable increase in the de-
fensive capacities Of the proletarian
State.
A tremendous internal and exter-
nal strengthening of the proletarian
dictatorship.
An unexampled extension OF pro-
letarian democracy in consequence
of the fact that the masses take the
initiative more and more, as also
the control of the carrying out OF
the economic and political decisions
1.-THE socialist competitive scheme,
the mass-agreements, the direct
struggle of the masses against nu-
reaucracy, etc.,.
What will the carrying out of the
Five-Year Plan bring the lnterna-
tional proletariat as a whole!
The consolidation of the probe
tartan dictatorship in the Soviet
Union results automatically in a
considerable strengthening of the
international proletariat in its class
struggle against the capitalist bour-
geoisie, and in an increase IN the
fighting capacities of the oppressed
peoples against capitalist imperial
ism.
The carrying out of the Five-Year
Plan will prove irrefutably that even
in it's present beginning or transition
stage and in backward agrarlan
country, Socialism contains product
i've possibilities far superior to any
thing which the highly-developed
capitalist countries have to offer.
1t will prove that under the dc
tatorship of the proletariat all eco
nomic progress is indissolubly con-
nected with an advance of the stand
ards of living of the workers, where
as under present-day capitalism &C.
onomic progress, even when it takes
place under the wing of social dem
ocratic ministers, can only be bought
at the price of the increased ex-
ploitation of the workers.
1t will prove that the proletarian
dictatorship for which the Commu-
mist Parties in all countries are
fighting, is really the path to So
cialism, whilst the path of (bour-
geoisie) democracy" urged by the
social democrats leads to faseism
and to an increased exploitation and
oppression of the workers. The Five
Year Plan will therefore contribute
to the achievement of revolutionary
unity amongst the workers under
the leadership of the Communist In
ternational.
The circumstance that the work.
ers of the Soviet Union who, before
the war, were the worst paid Sec
ton of the European working class,
will develop into the best paid sec
ton by the end of the five-year pc
Rod, is a circumstance that will lend
increased fighting energy and class
consciousness to the workers in the
capitalist countries in their strug-
giles for their economic aims and in
the connection of these labour strug-
giles with the general revolutionary
aims of the working class.
To sum up, the carrying out OF
the Five-Year Plan will result in a
great alteration in the international
relation of class forces between the
proletariat and the bourgeoisie to
the advantage of the former. With
the progress of the work for the
achievement of Socialism, not only
will the confidence in the military
victory of the Soviet power in the
event of an armed attack of the i'm
perialists upon the Soviet Union in
crease, but also the confidence that,
if the proletariat in the imperialist
countries is prepared, such an at
tack would result in the final col
lapse of imperialism. The unexam-
pied successes Of the work for the
the achievement of Socialism in the
Soviet Union will facilitate the work
of the Communist Parties to mobi-
lie the masses against any inn
perialist war upon the Soviet Union,
and for the transformation of any
such war into civil war for the fl
nal overthrow of the bourgeoisie.
The carrying out of the Five-Year
Plan by the workers in the Soviet
Union will provide us with one OF
the strongest weapons in the strug-
gle for the winning of the majority
/ of the working class for the revolu-
tionary overthrow of capitalism and
for the establishment of the probe
tartan dictatorship. The popularisa-
ton of the Five-Year Plan, and not
only its popularisation, but the act
i've support of the work for its car
rying out, must therefore be carried
on in the closest connection with the
general struggle against the danger
of imperialist war and be placed in
the forefront of our main interna-
tional tasks and in the forefront Of
our daily struggle.
