the ruling classes may be thankful"
Land Questionable stated that today he
would not accept his former land reform pro-

the land question, which will leave the land

Proletarian dictatorship-It is his opinion

fall of the proletarian dictatorship in the Soviet
Union would be followed by an unprecedently
severe capitalist dictatorship.
On Fascism and Ant-Fascism-He states
that fascism is an international phenomenon,
and the fight against it must be based on the
proletariat and must be of an international
character. He states he is an ant-fascst. He

list irredentism. He stands for a United
Europe on socialist basis"

4 Criticism of karolyi.
Only if Karolyi will keep to the anti-fascist
line more consistently than he did up to now,
his line would be that given by the Berlin
Congress. His expression Socialist" places
him in the position of left reformist, as So
cialism can start to develop only under condi-
tons of proletaran dictatorship and he is op-
posed to proletarian dictatorship. His Social
ist Europe is meaningless, as one must choose
between a social-fascst controlled Europe
which would be a combination of capitalist
LIST uar and
lutionary war against the Soviet Union, under
social-fascist leadership, or European Soviet
Republics. If Karoy does not stand for either
of them, then why speak about socialist
Europe?"
If Karolyi has in mind, that after the fall
of the Horthy regime a new democratic"
regime may come, he is mistaken. The destruc-
ton of the remnants of feudalism is not the
task of a new bourgeois democratic revolution,
but the task of the coming proletarian revolu-
ton. In its onward march it will sweep away
these remnants of feudalism. The rose of the
Hungarian October (emblem of Karolyism) has
faded The time for bourgeois revolutions is
over This is the period of pcoletarian revolu-
tons. The new revolution in Hungary will not
start, the Hungarian October started: 1t will
start, where the Hungarian Commune left it,
enriched by the experiences of the Russian
October the IL years of the Union of Social
list Soviet Republics.
Only the proletarian dictatorship can solve
the land question. Only clear proletarian
revolutionary line can lead the fight against
the danger of imperalist war and for the
defense of the Soviet Union, which is task
of every true anti-fascist.
Even if nobody expects that Karolyi will
realize the historical necessity of the proletar-
ian dictatorship as the transition of true social
ism, he must throw overheard, at least every
thing that is contradictory to the program of
the Berlin international Anti-Fascist Congress.
An anti-fascist can not have two sets of ideas.
His non-anti-fascist utterances will be severely
criticised and condemned by the workers, who
especially in this period of crisis and sharp
class struggles want to know, who is who and
what he stands for!
