4. Under pressure of the grow
ing discomfort of the workers and
their mass desertion from Social
Democracy the latter, revealing its
impotence in the face of the crisis
and unemployment, is compelled,
in order to deceive the masses to
resort to left" demagogic maneou-
verS and in words hypocritieally
advocates shorter working day
and 5-day week, extension of So
cial-inSurance, disarmament and a
fight against Fascism. In deeds,
however, by these manoeuvres, So
cial Democracy helps capital to car
ry through its attack on the stand
ard of living of the working class,
to consolidate its dictatorship, to
accelerate the faScisation of the
bourgeois state, to suppress the
mass resistance to FascIsm, to I'M
dermine the spontaneous striving of
the broad masses of the workers for
the united front, and to conceal the
preparations for war against the U.
S.S.R.
All these and similar facts plain
ly reveal the counter-revolutionary
role of international Social-Demoe-
racy as the chief social support of
the bourgeoisie in its stru0~,e
against the proletariat.
Therefore, the exposure of the
Social-Democrats, the exposure of
the III International, the liberation
OF the working masses from the in
fluence of Socia1-Democracy, the
isolation and overcoming of Social
Democracy is the immediate task
for the Communist Parties. If this
task is not fulfilled it will be i'm
possible for the proletariat to carry
on a successful struggle for liber-
alton from the chains Of capital
ism.
