for the Soviets and thus confirms
the fact that it conceives the work
ers' and peasants government not
in the sense of Soviet power, but
in that of a government based on a
bloc composed of Communists and
social democrats.
The strike-strategy worked out by
the Nv Congress of the R. l. L. U.
and by the vi Congress of the Com
intern, is bound, in the opinion of
the Right wing, to lead to a split
between the organized and morgan
lied workers, to a division of the
trade unions and to the complete
separation of the Party from the
workers themselves, i.e., to its isola-
ton. In the opinion of the Right
wing, this course would mean a new
and by no means improved edition
of the policy of Maslow and Ruth
Fischer. Gin its ultimate conse-
quences this way is counter-revolu-
tionary," says Against the Cur
rent" on Page 5 of an article on the
struggle in the Ruhr district. The
Right fraction thus wages the fight
against the feminist united-f front
tactics as a revolutionary method for
the mobilization and organization
of the masses. In place of the ap-
peal to the masses for the removal
of the trade-union bureaucrats from
their posts, it puts an appeal to
the reformist leaders, in which con-
nection it spreads the illusion that
the reformist leaders are able to
lead the workers in their fight
against the bourgeoisie. This means
remuneration of a consistent oppo-
sition to reformism and renuncia-
ton of the leading role of the Party
in the economic struggles of the
proletariat.
These fundamental theses of the
political platform of the Right wing
are completed by the declarations of
the said wing in regard to the "con-
version of the Party apparatus into
an uncontrolled, ideally and partly
also materially corrupt bureaucracy"
QUOTED from the declarations of
Hansen and CALM. In the fraction
al document of November 9th 1.-THE
Declaration on the Resolutions of
the vi Congress-" signed by Hansen,
Steffen, and others), we find the
following assertion:
'The Congress has chosen the
path of an ultra-Left liquidation
of the correct Communist direc-
tives."
Hansen, Steffen, and their adher-
ents conclude their declaration in
the following terms:
THE undersigned consequently
decline such resolutions of the vi
World Congress as justify and
support the incorrect ultra-Left
direction"
The natural inference which the
members of the Right fraction draw
from the fundamental theses Of their
political platform lies in non-recog-
milton of the resolutions of the ".
Congress of the R. 1. L. U. and the
vi. Congress of the Comintern in
opposition to these resolutions and
endeavors to revise them. By their
declarations the Right fractionists
are steering for direct and open
breach with the R. l. L. u. and
the Comintern.
On the other hand an approach
OF the political platform of the Right
wing towards the opinions of the So
clal democrats is daily more appar-
ent. Not only does the slogan of
control of production in the absence
OF any immediate revolutionary sit
uatlon and under a continuation of
capitalist rule actually lead to the
social democratic principle of eco
nomic democracy; the same NAV be
said of all the declarations of the
political platforms of the Right in
regard to the separation of the or
gained workers from the morgan
lzed ones, the split in the Trade
Unions, etc, as the alleged result of
the resolutions of the ". R. L.U.
Congress and the VI Comintern Con-
gress. These are but repetitions of
analogous assertions on the part of
the social democrats. In regard to
the accusations, too, directed against
the G. c. Of the C. P. G. and against
the e. c. c. I. on account of the
resolution of October 9th, the dis
tinction between the Right fraction
and the social democrats is still more
obliterated.
Thus Brandler, Thalheimer and
other leaders of the Right fraction
nave shown themselves by their DO
litlcal platform and by, their frac-
tlonal activity to be thorough Left
Soclal-Democratic politicians. Oh
Jectively they have become tools of
the reformists, agents of reformism
IN the Communist ranks. Tho p;oh+
