wing not only repudiates the resolu-
lions of the w. Congress of the R.
l. L. U. and of the VI. Comintern
Congress, but has also started of late
to raise an active opposition to the
execution of all such political activity
of thu Party as is directed towards
the realization of the detectives in
question. Already during the armor-
ed cruiser campai- N, this fraction
did tie Utmost harm by undermin-
ing the campaign in exploiting the
Wittorf incident for the purpose of
aggravating their fractional opposi-
ton to the c. C. of the C. P. G.
In the midst of the Ruhr strug-
gle, when our Party for the first
time succeeded by its new strike
strategy in rallying more than 1907
900 workers around the striking cen
ters which had been established by
the workers themselves over the
heads of the trade union bureau
Gratis, the Right wing went so far
as openly to oppose the slogans and
tactics of the Party and thus actu-
ally to support the reformists.
The members of the Right frac-
ton not only repeat their usual
mendacious accusations against the
strike strategy, in which connection
they even dare to assert that the
said tactics are counter-revolution-
ary in effe It, but also INCREASINGLY
attempt to besmirch all the practical
steps taken by the Party and the
fighting committees in the Ruhr dis
trict.
The repeat the calumnious in
ventions of the social democrats in
regard to the activity of the strike
centers and of the Party in the Ruhr
area and spread the report that the
Party press is engaged in knowingly
distributing false intelligence as to
lie actual situation and as to the
extent of the fight in the said dis
| trict.
They not only oppose the organiza-
ton of strike centers, but even ridi-
cule the demands of the Party and
of the workers. They support the
endeavors of the social democrats to
divert the workers from the fight
for their demands by means of
pseudo-radical slogans leg, confis-
cation of the assets of employers
and to counterfeit the extension of
the fight against trust-capital and
coalition government and the con-
version of this fight into a pronoun-
cedly political one.
Both the political platform of the
Right members and their actions
show in what direction the right
wing of the C. P. G. is developing.
The formation of a new opportunist
Party within the limits of the Com
munist Party, the splitting-up of the
latter, the concentration of the Right
wing out of the Left wing of the
social democrats and the Right frac-
ton of the Communist Party, and
the formation of a bloc out of this
opportunistic concentration and the
Social Democratic Party-such are
the main stages on the road from
the Comintern to the Second Inter-
national, a road which the leaders
of the Right fraction are even now
hnnirnit,or m fr-ood
Brandler and Thalheimer have the
intention to found a "Spartacus
/ League" desiring to exploit the
names of the Spartacus fighters and
that of Rosa Luxembourg for their
opportunistic Vaccinations. In the
history of the Comintern there have
been repeated instances in which
members who were on the best way
to becoming renegades misused the
names of great revolutionaries. Paul
Levi thus abused the name of Rosa
Luxembourg, Urbahns, Maslow and
Trotsky that of Lenin, and now
Brandler and Thalheimer are about
to adopt the same methods.
But this attempt is just as GER
tain to end in failure as all other
attempts of the kind. The revolu-
tionary merits of the Spartacus
League are living assets of the Com
munist Party of Germany. Thou
sands of Spartacus men have fought
in the ranks of the C. P. g., are
fighting in them now, and will fight
in them again. There can be no
doubt but that the new party, which
Brandler and Thalheimer are at
tempting to found, will not win any
real revolutionary Spartacus man.
