Of Democratic Socialism"
The defeat OF the German Social
Democracy is defeat of world his
toric importance. 1t exercises inter
est upon the toiling masses Of all
countries, it arouSeS them with new
force for the struggle against Fas-
cism, for the Dictatorship of the
Proletaliat.
Under Jne pressure OF the broadest
working masses, the Social Democ-
racy of Europe BEGAN more and more
often to appeal 10 the Communist
Parties with the proposal of conclud-
ing of "pacts of non-aggression, -
stating hypocritically that it stands
for the unity of the working class.
1t began ever more often to speak
that the main cause of the successes
of FasciSm is the split of the work
ers' movement which is weakening
the resistance Of the working masses
to the Fascist offensive" BY these
statements the Social Democracy
which has led and is still leading a
policy Of agreement with the bour-
geoiSie and which has not desired
and still does not desire to lead a
struggle against the offensive of
capital, against Fascism and War, is
attempting again to deceive the
working masses and to retain them
under its influence.
The Need for the United Front.
The proletariat is confronted
sharply with the necessity for uni
fication Of all forces for the struggle
against the offensive of capital and
fascism. Therefore ever broader and
broader working masses, including
those which were under the influ-
ence of Social-Democracy have
united around the Communist Par
ties in strikes, demonstrations and
in the elections. But the broad
masses of workers are not yet capable
today to break completely with the
SOcial-Democracy and the Reformist
Trade Unions and to go over openly
into the camp Of Communism. The
Social Democratic workers will break
completely with their old organiza-
tions only after they have convinced
themselves that at present under the
conditions Of Fascist terror, the So
cial Democratic organizations refuse
to struggle.
The Communist Parties of al
countries have as their task the
utilization of all possibilities in order
to mobilize the entire working class
and the toilers for struggle. There.
