airy forces for more decisive and effective blows
against capitalism and particularly their agents
the socialists, The compromises OF ,Lenin were
based on strict revolutionary principles The re-
sort to the use Of Lenin is an indication that
in this period Of growing sympathy Of the masses
for the Soviet Union for the appreciation of
Lenins leadership In the establishment Of the
dictatorship OF the proletariat, the name Of
Lenin is used in order to make tbs treacherous
deeds OF the socialists appear less foul.
What Lenin said OF Marx applies with equal
force to himself as II he foresaw the attempts
to "ennasculating and vulgarizhg the real es-
sence of their revolutionary theories and blunt
ing their revolutionary edge"
Now as we are swinging into the presidential
elections, Norman Thomas, the presidential can.
didate of the socialist party, will increasingly
use radical and even revolutionary phrases to
make the socialist party appear as a Party of
toiling masses. We must therefore in this cleo
ton campaign concentrate our fire on the So
cialist party as the most dangerous enemy within
the ranks Of the working class. We Will there
fore close with. statement from the Plenum
resolution of the Communist Party, In the Sec
ton on the election campaign, which states:
- THE sharpest struggle against social fascism
during the elections is Of the greatest inpor-
lance. Without detracting the attention to the
slightest degree from the struggle against the
republicans and democrats as pointed out above,
the chief attention must be directed to n1rpaSk-
ing and combating the socialists and the Music
crowd. This also includes a. consistent uillnask-
ing of their demagogic theory about state capi-
talism, gradual transition 7nto socialism
through naturalization projects Of the mines,
railroads, ETC." s-s ~~s.t 80

TOWARD Revolutionary Mass N0k zs z f2zs 2z
Personal Responsibility in Factory Work

Excerpt from Comrade Btowder's Speech
at the 18th Plenum The section of his spaech
dealing with the war situation IS printed in
the May issue of the Communist
THE trouble with our factory work is that it is
still according to the book. 1t is the nlechani-
cal attempt TO carry through a certain instfuc-
ton without seriously sitting down to examine
the peculiar feature of each factory, the special
problems Of this factory, and to work out how
in this particular factory, mass work can be
done to arouse the workers for struggle for their
immediate needs for the general political strug-
gle of the working class.
We approach the factory as outsiders, without
any particular interest in learning about the in
side. We have certain set fornuls,s certain
conception as to what is inside of factory
And this set formula, conception, is applied to
every factory, with the result that 1t doesn't fit

planning, for a classics society. But not through
a revolution not through the dictatorship of the
proletariat, which is the only method through
state as the prerequisite for seizng the means
of production as the basis for the development
of socialism and the establishment of CLASHES
society. This is the lesson, from the Soviet
Union, applicable fully to the U. S.
1t is very significant that IN the entire letter
Thomas has nothing to say about the govern
ment the role OF the state. The state the gov
eminent, is implied by Thomas as body which
is above classes and that the capitalist state can
be utilized for the introduction of socialism.
And it is precisely in this in the picturng of the
state which today becomes more and more the
naked instrument of putting the burdens of the
crisis on the shoulders of the working class, that
the socialists picture as classics instrument
in order to more effectively help the capitalist
state carry through its capitalist offensive and
carry out us inlperialist war aims.
Finally it is worth while mentioning the fact
that Thomas resorts to the use Of Lenin's name
in order to give revolutionary fig leaf to his
counter revolutionary preachings He tries to
picture the acts of betrayal and treachery Of the
socialists as merely compromises. He says: "One
of the many evidences of Lenfn's greatness was
his skill in compromising when compromise was
in order" Lenin, the uncomprimising fighter
for the dictatorship of the proletariat, the merci
less fighter against social Ohauvinism, against
the Second International is being pictured here
as a harmless saint. Yes Lenin did compromise,
but compromised in order to gather revolution

THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR
FIGHT AGAINST INlPERIALIST WAR

bound to result in severe opportunist mistakes.
We must set ourselves the task to organize and
lead direct broad mass actions specially against
the imperialSt war. Special meetings, inlpromptu
meetings at factory gates, factory meetings, dem
onstrations on this question must be well pre-
pared and carried out. Special leaflets pamph-
ton must be spread.
All particpators in the Conference we're unan-
inous that it is the most important task OF the
Communist Parties to hamper and prevent the
production of munitions and war material and
the transport of troops and war material.
What were the fighting means and methods
during the first inperialist war and in the period
of the first intervention?
Protest etrikes: sometimes even small protest.
strikes for half an hour or an hour against the
production Of war material. These protest strikes
were then developed into the great mass strikes
which, as for instance in Germany Austria, Hun
gary, England lasted for several days Ca canny
strikes were popular weapon Of proetarian
resistance to imperalist war. The railway work
of Erfurt Stuttgart, ETC.. in the period of the
first intervention war began their struggle by a
work-to-rule strike, and by this means delayed
the transport of munitions These actions were
developed right to the open prevention OF NUM-
tons transports for Poland In Holland and
other countries, cases occurred in which shells
destined for Poland proved to be uilservceable
In France and in other countries useless war
material was Intentionally produced for Poland
and these actions developed into protest strikes
