The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-12-06
BY MAXIM CORK.

THE energy of the advanced ranks of the work
ers and peasants has been organized by the
teachings of Marx and Lenin to lead the masses
of toiling people in the Soviet Union to des-
tination which can be expressed in four simple
words: create a new world. In the Soviet Union,
even the Pioneers, the children understand that
to create new world, to set up new conditions
IF life it is necessary:
To make it impossible for Findividuals to amass
riches which are always squeezed out OF the
sHeat and blood of the workers and peasants;
TO abolish the division of people into classes to
abolish every possibility of the exploitation OF
the creative energy and the labor Of the ma
ior1ty by minority; to expose the poisonous
lies Of religious and national prejudices, which
iisunite people making them hostile and in
connprehensible to each other; to cleanse the
lives of the workers from the savage and filthy
habits of life which have been forced on them by
centuries of slavery; to destroy everything which
by hnderng the growth of the consciousness OF
the single purpose of their life interests among
the working people, allows the capitalists to Gre
ate human slaughter houses, to drive millions OF
workers to fight against each other, to wars
which have always one single purpose: to
strengthen the bandit rights of the capitalists
to increase their senseless passion for profits
and for power over the workers
In the long run this means to set up condi-
tions for all people and for each individual
under which they can develop their powers and
abilities to make it possible for all to reach the
heights which have been attained with use
kss expenditure of energy only. by exceptional

IN these words the Russian woman" crudely
but correctly expressed the whole philosophy and
poverty of bourgeois theology, expressed every
thing that bourgeois philosophy can bring for
ward In opposition to the spiritual renaissance
Of the proletarian masses. The spiritual renais-
sance of the proletariat throughout the world is
an indisputable reality. The working class of
the Soviet Union, marching ahead of the prole-
tarians of all countries, well confirms this new
reality. 1t has set itself grandiose task, and

energy. The difficulties of fulfillment are enor-
