It IS important for us to understand that the war
danger especially the danger of military intervention
against the Soviet Union is the greatest menace
fronting the workers and oppressed all the
world This means Just exactly what it says 1t means
that the bread and butter the we-being and future
. of the American workers-the elsewhere-is
directly menaced by the threatening intervention
against the Soviet Union
The the Soviet Union Is Also the Fate of the
American Working Glass.
The Soviet Union is Soviet Union 1t is
selves. Whatever happens to It, happens to 1t is
today the only real home the only fatherland that the
workers of the world have Because the Soviet Union
Is the land ruled and owned by the workers Because
In the Soviet Union Socialism being built-the foun-
dations for socialist society have already been laid
Is this new world. free from the capitalist rule and
the niseries of capitalist exploitation being built only
for the inhabiting the Soviet Union? Is it only
for them? No. 1t is for as we'll It shows us the
way to Socialism and helps us get there quicker and
with certainty
But this is not all. The existence of the Soviet
Union, with working class government building So
calisnl is fastening the downfall of capitalism 1t is
shortening the time Of agony and suffering that the
masses all the world are forced to undergo by
the resistance of the dying capitalist system
Above all we must clearly understand this: that
the capitalist of intervention against the Soviet
Union is being prepared of saving capt.
taIsn. This that military Intervention IS to
the system of hunger and starvation. 1t is to
the damnable and rotten system of unemploy-
nent wage cuts, gas bombs and bullets for strikers
iynchngs for Negroes prosecutions and deporations
for the foreign born, colonial oppression and world
slaughter of millions of workers and farmers in new
imperalist This is the purpose and meaning of
military intervention against the land that is building
socialism And what must our answer be? Defend the
Soviet Union. Turn the war of intervention into
war against capitalism Make it the opportunity for
the American working class and for all those suffering
and bleeding under the heel of American capitalism
TO overthrow the rule of the capitalist dictatorship and
to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.
The Capitalist Solution of the Crisis
War and military Intervention the capitalist
way out of the crisis The present murderous attack
upon the standard Of living Of the working class and
of the exploited farmers is another capitalist way out
Of the crisis Tightening down the upon the
colonial peoples, making them pay larger tributes to
their mperiaist masters is third capitalist way out
of the crisis.
These are the three capitalist ways out of the
crisis Really these are only three branches of one
And this road leads to making the toilng
of the world pay for the crisis in order to the
capitalist system Think of it and you will see that
the throwing out of thirteen million workers from the
factories in the United States to relieve the pressure
upon the payrols; that the cutting of wages through
the country of the workers in all industries; that
the drive to cta agricultural production instead of
giving relief to the starving farmers: that all these at
tacs the capitalists upon the standard of living of
the toiling in the United States pursue one
aim: to make the masses pay for the crisis to protect
