revolutionary ACTIVITY OF The masses
and kowtowing to the German
bourgeoisie, say nothing about the
bourgeois character of the demo-
cracy' of the German Republic,
and again endeavor to trick the
masses with the bait of socialist
phrases, demanding in the name
of socialism that bourgeois democ-
racy should be carried to its con-
clusiOn. i.e., that the struggle for a
revolutionary way out of the crisis,
and the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat should be abandoned.
THE XII Plenum of the E. G. C. I.
and the Party Conference of
the G. P. G. gave a feminist reply
10 the renegades, by their clear
Bolshevik directives on the prep
aration of the masses for the de-
cisive revolutionary fghts-a reply
which was old and tried in the
fights of the October Revolution.
The development of the class
struggle in Germany since the XII
Plenum of the E. c. G. I. has COM
pletely confirmed the analysis of
the XII Plenum. After a number
OF months of the frantic violence of
the terrorist gangs of the fasciSts,
OF unrestricted chauvinist propa-
ganda, and unprecedented treach-
cry by Social-delnocracy under the
pretence of q struggle against
faScism, after series of Spectacu-
lar parliamentary successes of Ma
tlonal Socialism and prolonged
lull in the strike struggle of the
proletarlat, we now see an unceaS-
ing wave of economic struggles,
the extreme political sharpening of
the economic struggle of the prole-
tariat, the defeato f fasciSm and
social democracy. and the big sue
cess of the Communist Party in the
new parliamentary elections.
This new rise of the revolution
airy wave and the combination of
the Parliamentary and non Parlia-
mentary successes of the Commu-
mist vanguard in Germany, is di-
rect and unmiStakeable reply by the
German proletariat to the treach-
erous work of social-democracy,
and likewise to all the defeati,tS
and panicmongers, who in the ranks
of the G. p. c., have opportunistic-
ally distorted the general line of
the Communist International, who,
during the presidential elections,
llowled together with the social
democrats about the defeat of the
Q. P. G.. and the German working
class, opportunistically distorting
ne slogan of the peoples revolution
md the task of struggling against
Sascism, opportunistically distorting
The task of struggling against So
cial democracy as the main social
oulwark of the bourgeoisie, and
thus weakening the fighting powers
and the forces of the revolutionary
vanguard in the matter of solving
the fundamental strategic task of
the moment-the winning over of
the majority of the working class
in Germany.
INCREASED ACTIVITY
IN STRIKE STRUGGLES
The determined course taken by
the Communist Party of Germany
to carry out the decisions of the
XII Plenum of the T.. G. G.. /. and
to cleanse the policy of the C. P. G.
from all elements of the opportun-
list distortion of the general line
OF BolShevism in The conditions of
The end OF the partial Sterilization
OF capitalism. considerably assisted
TO bring about the revolutionary
successes which have recently been
achieved. The chief achievement
in the revolutionary struggle of the
German proletariat during the last
few months is undoubtedly the
ever-increasing activity of the
German workers in the strike strug-
giles. This strike activity of the
German proletariat was also of de-
cisive Importance for the result of
the parliamentary elections. This
strike activity, which reached its
eliminating point in the strike OF
$4,000 transport workers In Berlin,
reflects most clearly that intensiti-
cation Of the class struggle in Ger
many which was the keynote of
the Reichstag elections. In these
strikes, a most symptomatic feature
was the fact that they resulted in
material and political successes for
the strikers in places where there
was the most consistent Com
munist leadership, and on the other
hand the biggest electoral victories
of the c. P. G. we're obtained in
the districts where the strike move
ment was the strongest.
