workers press (Rote Fahne); it
closes revolutionary mass organi-
cations; it prepares the ban on the
Communist Party of Germany, and
organizes the suppression of the
working class by fascist methods.
Such is the road of German Goa
litionist social democracy towards
social fascism. Such is the outcome
of the largest party of the Second
International being in power.
All the policies of the Labor
Party, particularly in the last
years, have showed that MacDon-
AIDS government will follow the
road of German social democracy
in power. 1t will carry out CAPT.
talist naturalization with brutal
hand, suppressing every kind of
strike movement. 1t will strangle
the national revolutionary move
ment in the colonial countries, in
the first place, in India. 1t will
conduct an aggressive imperialist
war policy, in the first place against
the U. S. S. R., while covering this
up with pacifist phraseology. No
negotiations, not even temporary
agreements between MacDonald's
government and America, will do
away with the inevitable armed
conflict between the U. S. A. and
England, but they will be a stage
in preparing this conflict, just as
in their time were the attempts at
agreement between the imperialist
powers on the eve of the world war
of 1914-18. The illusion that the
assumption of power by the govern
ment of the Labor" Party means
the assumption of power by the
working class, an illusion wide
spread among the English workers,
will be dissipated by the imperialist
and anti-working class policy of
MacDonald's government. Only now
will a rapid political differentiation
among the masses, and their with
drawing from the bourgeois la
Dor" Party, begin. The more de-
cisively the Communist Party of
England will eradicate all remnants
of right and opportunist deviations
in its own ranks and carry out a
correct Bolshevik policy, sharpening
the struggle Of the workers against
the Labor" government, the sooner
will the working masses of Eng
land realize that only the policy of
the English Communist Party, the
policy of "class against Glass;" as
proclaimed during the last elections,
is the only correct one, that only
this policy aids the liberation of
broad masses of the workers from
parliamentary pacifist illusions and
shows the real road towards the VIC
tory of the working class.
The Plenum of the E. C. C. l..
states that the present formation of
governments by the most important
parties of the Second International
in circumstance of an approaching
war and the growing miseries of
the working class, creates conditions
for the deepest crisis of social de-
mocracy within the proletarian
masses. This crisis finds it's ex-
preston in the quickening of the
process of rehabilitation of the
broad working masses. 1t inevita-
bly, leads social democracy to a loss
of influence over broad working
masses and thereby creates favora-
BILE conditions for the Communist
Parties to conquer the majority of
the working class.
The Plenum of the E. C. C. L.
makes it the duty of all the Sec
tons of the Communist Interna-
tional to strengthen their struggle
against international social democ-
racy as the most important buttress
Of capitalism.
The Plenum of the E. C. C. L.
proposes that particular attention
be given to the struggle against
the cleft" wing of social democracy,
which halts the process of disinte-
grafton of social democracy by
spreading illusions to the effect that
this wing is in opposition to the
policy of the leading social demo-
ocratic bodies, whereas in reality it
supports in all possible ways the
policy of social fascism.
iii. Oncoming of a New Rising
Tide of Revolutionary Proletarian
Movement.
6. What is new after the Sixth
World Congress, is the sharply out
lined rehabilitation of the interna-
tional working class and the oncom-
ing Of the new rising tide of revo-
lutionary proletarian movement.
The worsening of the situation of
the working class, coupled with a
strengthening of the pressure over
it and the growth Of capitalist ex-
