The international Day of Struggle
Against Unemployment

The right-wing in the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union and in the Communist Inter-
national as whole repeated the apologists of
capitalism concerning the inability of the Rus
sian workers determnedly to wipe out every
vestige of capitalism in the Soviet Union and
increase the tempo of industrazation of the
country and develop collective agriculture. To-
day, life itself exposes the dangerous theology
of these renegades of Communism. Today, any
American worker with any semblence of class
consciousness can see that American capitalism
is part of world capitalism and that the United
States is not exempt from the general con-
tradictions of world capitalism. More so, every
worker can see that the crisis in the United
States became an instrument for the broaden
ing and sharpening of the economic crisis on an
international scale.
After their political policy was exposed as
anti-Leninist bourgeois reprint, the right-wing
Lovestone group is now stripped naked by the
Party and the Communist international before
the eyes of the entire American working class
What happened to Lovestone's theory of the
Victorian Age of American capitalism? Where
are these Hooverian predictions of unlimited
prosperity? What happened to these famous
nine points of Lovestone and Pepper why the
program of the Fourth Congress of the RI
L.U. could not be applied in the U. s.? Their
smashed, destroyed by life ITSELF by the strug-
giles of the American workers, and today Love-
stone and the international right wing stand
beaten politically by the American Party and
the Comintern, with nothing to offer except
SANDER and attack on the Soviet Union. the
Comintern and the Communist Party
Concerning August /, Lovestone and the in
ternational right wing not only opposed the
political line of the Communist International,
but openly came out in strike-breaking fash
ion, calling upon the workers not to strike in
those places where the Party decided to call
upon the workers to down tools and strike for
the defense of the Soviet Union and against
imperialst war. Against the present struggle
of the unemployed, particularly in connection
with international day of struggle against I'M
employment--March 6--the right wing in the
United States are concealing their opposition,
in system of double bookkeeping. While on
the first page of the (Counter) Revolutionary
Age Of February Is, Lovestone calls for par
ticipation in the international demonstration
of the unemployed. On another page he de-
nounces it as "putsch" in the same terms as
the traitors of the Second International in all
countries
The Lovestone organ states:
"The Comintern adopts an estimate of the
present situation (the comparison of the
present crisis with the world war in it's con-
sequences) and policy on one of the most
important problems facing the Parties Gun
employment), which are not only ultra-left,
but which are actually putchst."
Here according to Lovestone, we find that
the struggle of the unemployed, and the in
ternational struggle against unemployment on
March 6, set aside by the Communist Interna-
tional is not correct and justified method
that will bring forth and mobilize the working
class of the world not only in the struggle
against unemployment, but also in the strug-
