10th ANNIVERSARY
OF FOUNDING orc. L

whole course Of development of the
Communist International. The two
are, therefore, inseparably associated
not only by reason of the fact that
they both, by their very existence,
deny the whole capitalist world in
posing the dictatorship of the bour-
geoisie by the dictatorship of the
Iproletariat and the bourgeois system
of exploitation by the system of So
cial construction; they are also the
Representatives of uniform process
of world revolution, for every class
struggle, irrespective of the par
ticular country or part of the world
in which it breaks out, is governed
not only by the domestic conditions
of the particular country but chiefly
by the state of the fight waged by
world capi.-lism against the Soviet
Union, as the stronghold CT the revo-
rlutionary proletariat of the whole
world and as the outpost of all OPP
pressed and exploited peoples.
! This also means that whoever
fights for the basic principles of the
Communist international must also
fight for the Soviet Union, and,
conversely, the whole history of the
International labor movement shows
that all who oppose the October Re-
ivolution must be regarded as the
worst enemies of the Comintern. An
illustration of this indisputable fact
is that every renegade from Com
munism, every deserter from the
Comintern, is a manifest adversary
:, of the Soviet Union and the worst
of calumniators Of the Proletarian
Power.
1t is quite unnecessary to give ex-
amples. The whole course of the de-
velopment of all renegade groups
and tendencies, which have been ex-
PEELED from the Comintern, shows
that in the end every fight against
the Comintern leads to fight
against the Soviet Union and to a
ter-revolutionary and anti-Sov-
let attitude. All Rightward and
'Leftward' deviations from the Com
intern proved this indisputably.
For, as Lenin pointed out, the
splits which today take place within
the labor movement are no longer
the same as they were in the past,
for instance, like the splits which
took place before the war in social
democracy and among the anarchists,
but are of nature which bears upon
the very meaning of our historic
epoch: 'for or against the prole-
tartan dictatorship"
The Interpretation of this simple
formula is; "for or against the Com
intern; for or against the Soviet
Union" There is no third.
On the occasion of the tenth an
niversary of the Com.ntern all hon.
est revolutionary proletarians, all
oppressed and toiling masses, in cele-
brating the founding of the Commu-
mist World Party, which is destined
to put an end to the whole capitalist
order, to exploitation and subiuga-
ton, will remember that the Soviet
Union is a child of the Comintern
and that it was only under the slo-
gans of Leninism that the Russian
lproletariat was able to complete its
emancipation. They will remember
that the Communist International is
also a child of October. Only then
will they fully realize that it is only
under the banner of the Comintern
nat the revolutionary proletariat can
defend it's homeland" "the home
land of all toilers," and that the
world dictatorship of the proletariat,
the world union of Socialist Soviet
republics, can only be realized under
the banner of the Comintern.
For the world-historic significance
of the III. International lies in the
fact that it began to translate into
reality the great slogan of Marx, the
slogan which epitomizes the century
old development of Socialism, the
slogan which is expressed in the
idea of the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat."
