against the capitalist elements, which in fact
meant captulation before these elements.
Now every one-and in this included
also these comrades who signed the statement
published in todays paper-can clearly see
how destructive it would have been for the
Party and for the Soviet government to
cept this captivating opportunist conception
of marrow places" in the tempo of industrial
ization, 'unbreakable concessions" liberal NOR
malization of market relations" etc. 4. Today,
when the Party has succeeded in bringing the
country out of the grain crisis in spite of the
most vicious opposition of the kulaks, when
the Party succeeded in developing on basis of
self-critcism the activity of the proletarian
masses to degree hitherto unknown, and to
reach record-breaking tempo of economic
development, succeeded in strengthening the
ties with the middle peasants and developing
the tremendous movement for colectivization,
involving the broad layers in the villages-it
becomes clear for all sincere supporters of the
proletariat that the Party was correct in its
struggle with the right wing opportunists.
Therefore, for the Party the short history
of one and half years of difference Of which
Comrades Bukharin, Rykov and Tomsky write
in their belated statement, become instruc-
tive lesson, on how dangerous are even the
smallest deviations from the line of the Party
and hcw far they can lead.
The Party will continue with the same de-
termination and decisiveness to fight these
and similar deviatons as it did with the OPP
portunism of Comrades Bukharin, Rykov and
Tomsky.
Today's declaration of these comrades, which
the Party secured through its stubborn, I'M
compromising struggle, becomes a heavy blow
against the right opposition in our Party the
leaders of which were Comrades Bukha cn
Rykov and Tomsky and the right elements in
the International Comm mist movement who
orientated themselves the right opposition
in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
This, however, does not remove even in the
slightest the responsibility of our Party and
the Comintern mercilessly to struggle against
the theology of the right-wing opposition and
concliatiOnism, from which Comrades Bukhar-
in, Tomsky and Rykov disassociated themselves
today but which remains in existence and
more definitely becomes direct weapon in
the service of our class enemies. The Party
with all determination will have to draw or
ganzatonal conclusions, which flow from the
decisions of the November Plenum, of the in
compatibility of the advocacy of the views of
the right opportunists and conciliators with
membership in the Communist Party. Here
tofore, as in the future, the theology of the
right wing opposition and its reflection in
practical work, were and remain a hindrance
in carrying through our tasks laid down by
the Party in the field of further socialist con-
struction. After the biologists of the right
wing have capituated, we must with special
force hit the right wing in its praclice
The Party will even more stubbornly and
determnedly continue its struggle against the
theology and practice of the right wing mob
liking around it's feminist general staff-the
Central Committeeman with it's strong hand
directing it through all difficulties and hard
ships and through the elimination of all devil
atoms. 10 new victories.
