nation, is provided by the differ
ent level of economic DEVELOPMENT
in the two countries. The working
class of Russia were faced with
the task of laying the economic
foundations of socialism after the
Seizure of power, after the eStab-
lishment of the Soviet Union.
This required protracted and diff
ficult period of struggle which will
be entirely unnecessary after the
establishment of the Workers State
in America. In this country cap
italiSm has itself created all of the
productive forces necessary for a
Communist society; all that is nee
eSSary here is to break through the
paralyzing bonds of capitalist pri-
vate property reinforced by the
capitalist class state. In America
the proletarian revolution will re-
lease such a flood of productive
forces as cannot today be conceived;
''the period of transition from cap
italism to socialism in the United
States will be much shorter and
easier than in the Soviet Union"
Towards Workers State
With a wealth of detail Comrade
Foster shows how the American
Soviets through the Specialization OF
economy will solve all the problems
of life, material and cultural. for
the masses. The liberation of the
oppressed Negro population, the es-~
tabliShment of the most complete
equality and the right of self
determination in the Black Belt,
will be one of the basic achieve
ments of the prole. arian revolution.
The complete liberation of all the
colonial and semi colonial peop-e
now oppressed by American i'm
perialism in the PHILIPPINES, Hawaii, d,
the Caribbean Is ands, Central and
South America will be first act OF
the u. S. A. The emancipation of
women, and the liberation of the
youth from the barbaric conditions
imposed by the capitalist society,
are outlined by Comrade Foster in
few eloquent pages. The cultural
revolution, which follows the es-
tablishment of working class power,
will sweep away the maze OF
hypocricy and intellectual rubbish"
which characterizes capitalist Am
erica. The liquidation of crime
and the criminal underworld, which
Is an organic and more and more
dominating feature of capitalist So
ciety (to such an extent that the
gang leader is the national hero in
America) can be accomplished only
by the workers state.
One of the revolutionary achieve
ments of victorious world commu-
niSm will be the ending of war.
So long as capitalism lasts war
must continue to curse the human
race. 1t is the historical task of the
proletariat to put an end to this
hoary monster. This it will do by
destroying the capitalist system and
with it the economic causes that
bring about war"
THE advice of the revolution is
difficult" Comrade Foster points
out in conclusion, Its pace is slow.
and varies from country to coun-
try, but its direction is sure and its
movement irresistible. Under the
leadership of the Communist Inter-
national the toilers of the world
are organizing to put a final end to
the long, long ages of ignorance and
slavery, of which capitalist i'm
perialiSm is the last stage. and to
pegm building a prosperous and in
telligent o c ty commensurate
with the level to which social
knowledge and production posi-
bllltles have reached"
