There Can Be Only One
Revolutionary Party

We are publishing below the con-
GLIDING paragraphs from the dec
laration of the Communist Interna-
tional on the 50th Anniversary of
the Death of Karl Marx. There
can be only one revolutionary party
Of the working class, there can be
no two kinds of Marxism-is the
keynote of the concluding para
graphs Of the c. I. declaration:
Think carefully, Social Democratic
workers and you prOIetarians who
belong to the refOrmist trade unions!
Is it possible that Marxism means
in one party struggles for higher
wages, for unemployment relief and
organization of struggles against the
oppression of capitalist rationaliza-
tion-and in the other: support of
wage-cuts and reduction of unem-
ployment relief, and support and
encouragement for capitalist ra-
tionalization and compulsory labor?
Is it possible that Marxism means
for one party revolutionary readi-
ness for sacrifice in the struggle
against the bourgeoisie, imprison-
ment, shooting, hanging, as was the
case with Liebknecht and Rosa Lux
emburg and thousands, tens of thou
sands of revolutionary proletarians
throughout the capitalist world
while for the other party-minis-
terial posts in bourgeois govern
ments, posts of police chiefs, hang
men of the revolutionary prole-
tarians, as was the case with Noske
and zorgiebel?
Is 1t possible that Marxism means
in one party proletarianism, deter
mined revolutionary struggle against
imperialist war-while in the other
party it means defense of the bour-
geois fatherland, Pacifist deception
in order to cover up imperialist war
preparations, and SANDER Of the So
Wet Union, the only fatherIand of
the international working class?
Is it possible that Marxism in one
country led by the Communist Party
to the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat, to the appropriation Of the
means Of production of the CAPT
talists, to the rise of proletarians to
heads of gigantic Socialist enter
prises- while in the other country
it is leading to the growth Of capt.
talist enslavement under the dead
ership OF the Social-Democratic
Party?
Is it possible that Marxism in one
country led to Socialism and in the
other country-to Fascism?
Think 1t over, pedestrians! Can
there be two kinds of Marxism?
Give your answer to the first Com
munist, to the first revolutionary
proletarian-the fighter for the
teachings Of Marx, Engels and
Lenin-you come across. :.
Think 1t over and decide whether

clare that Marx belongs TO the
Communists.
To us, the Communists, who, at
the head OF the millions Of prole-
tarians in the daily uncompronis-
ing class struggle against all forms
OF exploitation and oppression, are
carrying out his great teachings.
To US, Communists, who, in the
Soviet Union are the master build
ers OF the Socialist society, who, IN
the imperialist and colonial coun-
tries are defending and protecting
with our LIES blood MarMsm- Len
inisn, defending Socialism; which
has been carried out in the Soviet
Union. To us, Communists who are
struggling for the liberation Of all
those who are oppressed by capt.

OF capitalism, struggling for the
