gradual crowding out of the capital
list sector would indicate the equally
gradual completion of the building
of socialism and would also crowd
out and eliminate gradually the last
remnants of the capitalist class.
The Right Wing Estimates" the
Problem.
The recent struggle with the right
wing in the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union grew out of differ
ences of the estimation of the prog
ress of the building of socialism.
The last year or so has seen
sharpening of the class struggle in
Russia. The remnants of the capt.
talist class in the agricultural sec
tons of the country attempted to
organize resistance against the
grain collections of the Soviets.
They realized that these grain col
lections supplied the Soviets with
indispensable means for the extern
sion of the socialist sector of econ
omy.
The right wing elements main
tanned that this sharpening of the
class struggle, that this resistance
of the Kulaks to the grain collec-
ton, was result of the comparative
weakness of the socialist economy
of the Soviets, was a result of the
slowness in the progress of the
building of socialism, and of con-
sequent comparative strength of the
village bourgeoisie.
The Central Committee of the
Communist Party, on the other hand,
analyized the sharpening class
struggle as result of the rapidly
growing strength of the socialist
sector of economy, of the rapid
progress of the building of social
ism. The remnants of the capitalist
class in Russia see the rapidity of
this growth and resort to a resis-
tence by force as the last hope of
desperation. They see that the
rapid progress in the building of
socialism spells their doom as a
class because it takes from under
them the very basis Of their eco
nomic and social existence.
It is clear that these two funda-
mentally opposite analyses must
come to opposite conclusions. Thus
the right wing which proceeded from
the premise of the weakness of the
proletarian power, proposed con-
cessions to the remnants of the
bourgeoisie and slow and cautious
policy in the building of socialism.
Their contention was: We are weak.
we must make concessions, we have
to go slow. The Central Committee
of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, however, proceeding
from the premise of the inherent
strength of the revolutionary power,
proposed policy of most aggressive
advance in the building of socialism,
no concessions and no quarter given
to the remnants of the bourgeoisie.
This policy not only concentrated on
a plan of speedy and systematic
expansion of the socialist sector OF
economy but also proposed to deal
with the counter revolutionary &C.
ton of the village bourgeoisie with
revolutionary firmness and with
revolutionary measures. The his
tory of the Soviet Union of the past
year has definitely decided the con-
troversy in favor of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union.
Policy of CPSU Solves the Problem.
The plan of the Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party of
the Soviet Union, known as the five
year plan, proposes to undermine the
very basis of existence of the village
bourgeoisie. 1t plans to crush the
economic position Of the Kulak by
aid of systematic collectivization
of the numerous small units of agri-
cultural production Of the mass of
poor peasants. A parallel develop
ment Of the industrial sector of
socialist economy was to provide the
necessary means for this COLLECTIVE
alton of agricultural production.
Socialist industry is to replace the
