The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-07-01

In carrying out the behests of Len
in, Comrade Gussev did not mechan-
ically pass on the experience of the
C.P.S.U. He carefully studied the
special features of the circumstances
and the traditions of the workers
movement Of the given country, the
circumstances of the given class con-
flict, ETC., so as to establish which
characteristics were similar and
which were peculiar, and on this basis
to set out the tasks of the Party and
the Party organization.
EXCEPTIONAL VIGILANCE
AS a true BolShevik, a colleague Of
Lenin and Stain, Bolshevik firmness
of principle stood out with particular
plainness in all the work of Comrade
Gussev. He was possessed of excep-
tional vigilance and keenness Of Boil
shevik analysis when examining all
questions.
He fought infIexibly for the cor
rect line, in struggle against devia-
tions, against Menshevism, against
cOunter-revolutionary Trotskyism,
against Right and Left emporium
ism.
Comrade GuSsev had the gift of
bringing into special prominence the
principles underlying question, OF
giving a class analysis and carrying
on the line of the revolutionary pro-
letariat in every concrete question,

By VIM, u, FOSTER.

ONE of the classical capitalist argu-
v ments against Socialism is that it
would destroy incentive; that is, if
private property in industry and the
right to exploit the workers were
abolished the urge for SOCIAL progress,
and even for day-to-day production,
would be killed.
But the Russian revolution has
shattered this contention irreparably,
The Russian workers and peasants
are building Socialism with a mass
energy and enthusiasm quite unpa-
ralleled in history. Manifestly, they
are propelled by a great incentive.
This is a marvel to the bourgeois
newspaper correspondents. But it is
just as Marx, three generations ago
said it would be under Socialism.
The incentive Of the Russian toll
ers is easily explained They own the
country and everything in it. There
is no exploiting class to rob. them
of the fruits of their toll. They well
come better production methods be-
CduS6 Ollty StO OllC ilLll DtAlCliG VI
them. They have broken the chain of
capitalist slavery and are building a
new world of liberty, prosperity and
happiness for themselves and fam
lilies. II is equally understandable
why the producing masses in capital
list countries betray no such enthus-
iasm in their work The latter are
robbed of what they produce; for
them improvements in production
mean wage-cuts and unemployment.
Incentive under capitalism is con-
fined practically to the exploiting
classes and their hangers on. 1t is
only with the advent of Socialism
that the great masses develop real
incentive.
Socialist incentive in the Soviet
Union explains why the workers so
militantly defended the revolution
against the many capitalists armies
in 1890, and why they have en-
dured famine and pestilence for the
revolution. In the industries it is an
intelligent mass incentive that pro-
vides the basis for the keen Socialist
competition, for shock brigades to
speed production, for the self-im-
posed labor discipline, for the heroic

disclosing and rejecting both in the
ory and in practice all that had been
introduced by the pressure of petty
bourgeois elements, the Social-Dem
cratic agents of the bourgeoisie among
the working class.
CLARITY OF THOUGHT
1t was this which produced that
clearness of thought, of approaching
and setting out any question, which
distinguished him as a colleague of
the great leaders of the international
proletariat.
Comrade GuSsev was particularly
vigilant regarding the proletarian ma
ture of our movement and leadership.
With merciless keenness he disclosed
every tendency to dilute our move
ment with ideas and practice foreign
to the proletariat, simultaneously fol-
lowing the answering aim of con-
verting the movement into a mass
movement, of winning the hegemony
over the allies of the proletariat.
In his everyday work, Comrade
Gussev gave special prominence to
the question of forming basis for
the Party in the factories, of forming
a mass Bolshevik Press, proletarian
Party cadres. the development Of in
ner Party democracy and self-critic-
ism.
The comrades from the Commu-
mist Parties of other countries know

present day self-denial in putting the
Five-Year Plan into effect so that
a solid base of heavy industry may
be quickly laid for the Socialist pros
perity.
IN view Of all this mass interest and
L initiative of the workers in Soviet
industry, current capitalist charges
about forced labor" in the U. S. S. R.
stand exposed as ridiculous. Forced
labor is native to capitalism, not So
cialism. The whole Socialist system is
utterly antagonistic to any enslave-
ment of the workers. Even bourge-
OILS writer's and politicians are begin
ming to admit this. H. r. Mussey
says: eff anybody wants bargain In
forced labor, or any other kind of
labor, should advise him not to look

Niebuhr indicates that it is something
like the I. L. P he has in mind. But

After examining Nj NieLuhrs

that the prospects for his platform

the prospects for a real unity move

very favorable. There is no room IN

Thus we see projected quite far
ahead, even in the articles under ex-
animation, the road of those who
start out with the rejection Of any
workers united front which includes
the Communists They finally pin
their hopes on "the radical wing OF

into power, they join the Hitlers

in the work Of the Communist Inter
national. He possessed all the neces-
sary qualities for passing on the ex-
periences of the C.P.SU. to the Sec
tons of the Comintern.
He knew the experience of work of
the Party from the first circles to the
leadership of a great proletarian
State.
In 1905 he took a practical part
in the struggle for consistently carry
ing through the bourgeois democratic
revolution under the hegemony of the
proletariat, fighting for its further
growth into proletarian revolution
He was one Of the organizers of
the victory of the proletarian rev.
olutiOn in 1917.
He knew the theory and practice
of the work of a nucleus, the organ
ization of strikes, demonstrations, the
armed instruction. He knew the
leadership of the Party from the nu-
cleus to the center, the struggle
against every shape of opportunism,
against bourgeois and bourgeois
influence on the proletariat and its
Party
He was exceptionally keen in his
powers of feminist analysis of prin-
ciples, and in his work Comrade Gus
sew shared all this with the comrades
from Communist Parties in other
countries.
