has been employed by the Socialist
Labor Party. 1t is the method now
advocated by the Proletarian Party.
These organizations believe that
through a theoretical presentation
of the fundamental Communist prin-
eiples a majority of the working
class can be won for the support
of these principles and that some
fine day the proletarian revolution
will come about. Such a method,
however, will never brine about the
proletarian revolution. If we were
to depend upon propaganda alone
we could wait for another million
years and there would be no pro-
letarian revolution nor a Dictator
ship of the working class.
We must carry on educational
work in our Party. We must carry
on educational work among sympa-
thizers of our Party. 1t is our task
to educate as many workers as pos
sible to an understanding of the
fundamental principles of Commu-
nism but we cannot rely upon that
method alone to achieve the pro-
letarian revolution.
The method which has been adopt
ed by the Communist International
and the Communist Parties the
world over is quite a different meth
cd. The method of the Communists
is one of the things which dis
tinguishes the Communist Party
from previous working class organ
izations which have sought to bring
about the proletarian revolution.
AS Communists, we know that the
capitalist system brings about con-
tinual conflicts between economic
groups in the present social order.
The wage workers come in constant
conflict with the capitalists over
questions affecting their daily lives.
The workers desire higher wages.
| They want shorter hours of labor.
They want Improvement in their
working conditions. Struggles over
these questions and ever broader
questions grow out of the funda-
mental conflict of the wage workers
and the capitalists. These conflicts
are not matters of theory. They
are hard, bitter, everyday struggles
which decide the standard of living
of the workers and their families.
Similarly the exploited farmers
find themselves in conflict with the
exploiters from day to day. The
farmers struggle against the bank
ers who hold the mortgages on their
land. They are in continual con-
flict with the marketing organiza-
tons to which they sell their prod
ucts. Their, interests are in opposi-
ton to those of the railroads which
transport their goods. Thus both
wage workers and farmers are en-
gagged in continual struggle with
the capitalists.
The policy of the Communist Par
ty is to associate itself with the
workers in the everyday struggle
Communists fight with the wage
workers and farmers in support of
the demands which they make of the
capitalists because it is in these
and through these struggles that the
workers learn the character of the
capitalist system. and there is de-
veloped the will to power of the
workers, the determination to tri
hmph over the enemy who exploits
and Expresses them.
| The everyday struggles of the
workers create the most favorable
condition for establishing the in.
fluence and leadership of the Com
lnunist Party. The workers lealr
by experience the character of thu
capitalist system. They learn By
their experience in the struggle thu

system is merely an agency Of thu
