of social democracy as a means of
deceiving the proletariat and of
steering the discomfort of the
MISSES into the channels of the
bourgeoisie.
Analyses Fascism.
The program points out the uni
versal nature of fascism, combating
the idea that it could not develop
in highly capitalistic countries and
showing the relation between i'm
perialism and the bankruptcy of
parliamentarism and facism, as an
instrument for the suppression of
the revolutionary proletariat and
for consolidating the bourgeois or
der; likewise it deals with the Nep
and shows similarly its general APP
plication in various degrees and
forms depending upon the industrial
development of the country. 1t
clarifies the question of tactics and
outlines the methods of work of the
Communist Parties for the achieve
ment of leadership over the masses
for the revolutionary struggle.
The program is of particular i'm
portance for the American move
ment, which has too little tradition
of Marxism and internationalism
1t is the law of millions of the poor
and must be made known to every
member Of the Party. This will be
powerful instrument for the de-
velopment of its proletarian cadres,
for raising their theological level,
for enabling them to share to a
much more powerful degree in the
formulation of policies and in the
leadership of the Communist move
ment.s
Estimate of Present Period.
The unanimous adoption of the
program at the Congress, without
serious differences, demonstrates
ttie one will and one theology of the
world Party.
The central question at the Con-
gress was the estimation of the in
ternational situation, the estimation
of the third postwar period of the
general crisis of capitalism. The
Congress pointed out that the third
period was characterized by the
fact that the productive level of
world economy has for the first time
exceeded the pre-war level.
On the basis of this increased
productivity, we find the growing
contradictions, the sharpening up
of all class relations, of the anita
gonisms among the. capitalist pow
ers, chiefly the Anglo-American
rivalry, and between the capitalist
powers and the Soviet Union and
between the imperialist states and
the colonial mas smovements. The
third post war period shows the
precariousness and decaying char
acter of the phase of partial stab
ilization which is leading to huge
explosions within the capitalist sys-
tenn, which is marked by the Left
ward drift of the masses, the be-
ginning of the counter-offensive of
the working class, the growing lead
ership of the Communist Party over
the mass struggles of the workers,
the more treacherous role of social
reformism, the ever-increasing par
ticipation of the state in the strug-
giles of the workers, etc.
Role of American Imperialism. :.
The role of the United States in
world economy was given the great
est attention by the Congress. The
Congress showed that the general
crisis of capitalism and the grow
ing contradictions of capitalism were
drawing the United States ever
closer into the world contributions
and were consequently reacting upon
the class struggles in this powerful
impsrialist country. The transfer
OF the economic center of world
economy from Europe to the United
States is involving the United States
