list purity of the Comintem. He is a travel
ing agent of the "MarX-Lenin" school of the
Gitlow-L ovestone- WoIfe Hester Street concern,
dealers in second hand goods. This Marx
Lenin" school, as you know, is to preserve
revolutionary purity in the theories of Marx
and Enges. The name of this eminent MARX
st-Lennst proetarian travelling agent" of
Lovestone and company is Judson.
Judson wrote a letter to a friend 1t is this
letter we have before us. At the end of the
letter the pure "MarXist-Leninist" Judson
says: BUY the November issue of Current
History Interesting article by Furniss. Take
particular note of the first paragraph, upper
right-hand corner, page 401. First part abso-
lutey correct" We follow Judson's advice
and find the above quoted statement by Fur
Mss, on page 4O1 upper right-hand corner,
Current History" So there we have it, Lore

COUNTER-REVOLUT NAKEDNESS
The feminist" Lovestone, the opportunist
Lore, and the bourgeois Furniss are all agreed
that the proletaran dictatorship in Russia is
a negligible quantity in the consideration of
conditions in Russia. They all agree that when
the factory manager of plant Of the United
States Steel Corporation and the factory man
ager of a Soviet steel mill issue orders to
workers or make rules for them, there is no
difference. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. thereby
take exactly the attitude of the counter-revolu-
tionists in Russia. 1t is the counter-revolution-
airy element in Russia which tries to win the
workers of the Soviet Union over to the same
attitude toward the Soviet Industry as that
which the workers ought to have toward the
capitalist industry, one dictated by class-an-
tagonism. The fact that the owners of the
industries in Russia are the working class and
that the administration of the industries in
Soviet Russia is for the purpose of building
socialism does not concern them
The great revolutionary task in the Soviet
Union at present is that of building socialism
No other force can be modified for this task
but the working class. All sacrifices which
this task demands, all eXertiOns which it neces-
states, must be made by the working class
Possible immediate advantages of individual
workers or groups of workers must be forgOne
in the interest of the ultimate advantage ac-
cruing for the whole working class from the
progress in the building of socialism. 1t is
therefore revolutionary necessity in the in
terest of the working class that the whole APP
paratus of the Soviet industry be Orentated
toward the execution of the Five Year Plan
The factory manager of the Soviet steel mill
therefore is given authority to utilize it for
the success of the revolution in the interest Of
the working class. When, on the other hand
the factory manager of plant of the United
States Steel Corporation exercises his author
ity against the workers, he does it in order
to increase the profits of the capitalists against
the interests of the workers. But this distinc-
ton is evidently too small" to be recognized
by Lore, Furniss or by Lovestone. All three
of them are representatives of the bowgeoisie;
all three of them are thinking in bourgeoisie
terms, and all three of them are enemies of the
working class.
