in history They further demon
strated that within the framework
of any class society there is en-
gendered and developed that class
force which is historically destined
TO overthrow and destroy the eX~
listing order and to set up % new
and higher system of society.
Karl Marx, through his analysis
ot the capitalist method OF pro-
GUctjon and distribution, exposed
the real basis for the existence Of
capitalism and the source of capt.
taHst accumulation, and showed
that the only source from which
the capitalists derive their huge
profits is the exploitation of the
working class. The workers, not
being in possession of the means
OF production. are compelled to
sell their labor power as q CommO-
dity for wage to the capitalists,
the owners OF the means Of produce
ton. The wage workers, in the pro-
cess Of production, produce surplus
value, which is value i'll excess of
the value of their labor power. This
surplus value constitutes the sole
source Of profit for the capitalist
class.
Marx also exposed the anarchy
Of production in capitalist society
which gives rise to crises, unem-
pl0yment and mass misery. The
driving force Of capitalism to in
crease profits through the greater
exploitation Of the workers leads to
ever sharper class struggles. The
workers organize themselves on the
economic as well as the political
Held, and create their own party,
the Communist Party, to lead them
through day-tO-day struggles to
the final destruction of the capt.
talist system and the establish
ment of the classless society.
Socialism has ceased to be
Utopia; it has become a science.
The socialism Of Marx and EngelS
IS based on definite social and eco
nOnic laws operating within the
capitalist system, 1t IS no longer g
question of depending on a hiStor-
ic accident, on this CT that great
individual or benevolent social mi
nority for the salvation OF human
society; it is the resolute con-
seriousness Of the matured working
class that its own Revolutionary
struggles and the disintegration of
the capitalist system will bring
about the overthrow of capitalism
and the establishment of socialism.
This overthrow can come only
through the armed force OF the
working class, through the seizure
ana destruction OF the bourgeois
State, through the setting up Of d
dictatorship of the proletariat,

By MAX BEDACHT

THE forces which liquidaJed the
German revolution of 1918 are
now nearing q condition in which
they themselves will be liquidated
by d new revolution. In 1918 the
forces of revolution were defeated,
but they could not be destroyed.
1t was the historic mission of cap
italism, the victor of 1918, to re-
produce the vanquished revolution,
to be finally Vanouished by it.
The conscious element in this re-
vlval of the revolutionary forces
in Germany was the Communist
Party. Or course. the objective
economic and political conditions
did their share in this revival. We
have already shown how the YER
SailleS treaty, how the bankruptcy
OF the German state, and how the
consequent growth of the misery
and oppression of the German
masses reawakened the revolution
airy determination of these masses.
The Social Democratic poison of
1918 could not paralyze it forever.
Yet all the objective forces could
only intensity the need of reVolu-
ton; they alone could not produce
it. The actual making of the re-
volution depends on conscious, on
subjective forces. 1t depends on
the actions, the initiative and the
leadership Of a revolutionary party
The only revolutionary party of
the proletariat is the Communist
PARTY.

the proletarian revolution and for
the building Of socialism, which is to
develop further ON its own founda-
ton into Communism where the
State as a political unit will have
become unnecessary.
THE first successful proletarian

and the successful building Of So
cialism have borne out in historic
reality the teachings Of Marx and
Engels, which were further devel-
oped by Lenin and Stain.

such an all-cOmpriSlng mass ac~
ton can only develop under con-
ditions of the most extensive in
itiative by the masses themselves.
Revolutionary life created from
below, however, cannot create its
own revolutionary science, its own
strategy and tactics. Only a re-
evolutionary party can supply those.
Even the most productive initiative
OF the masses cannot produce I'M
ity of action and of purpose of
the necessarily many units of these
moving masses.
SOCIAL DEMOCRATS
GAGGED SOYIETS IN 1918
As an instrument of such unity
the workers create for themselves
the Soviets, the Workers Coun-
ellis. But in 1918 in Germany these
councils were dominated not by a
revolutionary, but by a counter
revolutionary party, the Social De-
mocratS. And without sufficient
organization the Spartacists could
not challenge this leadership.
1t is evident that no matter how
many millions of workers are in
revolutionary ferment, the absence
of a leading and coordinating force
will make these masses the com
paratively helpless victims even of
small, but Systematically directed
forces of counter revolution.
In 1918 the German proletariat
had revolutionary head in the
Spartakus Bund, but this head
lacked the necessary connection
with the body Of the working class;
it did not have system of nerves
in the form of a Bolsheyik party
running through this body.
The next pr0letarian revolution
IN Germany will have a BoIshe-
vik Party to lead it. During the
ID years of counter the
revolutionary workers of Germany
have built for themselves what
they lacked in 1918, a powerful
Communist Party.
FIFE process OF DLAIQlng THIS party
u was also the process of consci-
GUS struggle against dominant
counter-revolution. The progress
in the building of this revolutions
airy party can be best demonstra-
ted with a few comparative figures.
In the Reichstag elections OF 1920
the Communist Party polled 585 ,454
votes, while the Social Democrats
got 11,151,211 votes. In the cleo
tions of 1924 the Communist Par
ty polled 100000 votes, while the
Social Democrats mustered 8000,-
600. In the Reichstag election last
November the Communist Party
polled 100000 and the socialists
7,225,000 votes.
The building Of the Communist
Party was conscious preparation
for the new revolution; the pre-
paration Of advanced workers
through struggle; the preparation
in struggle of new revolutionary
forces out of backward workers.
FACTIONS welded OUT
In the course OF these prepar-
atoms, inner weaknesses manifest
ed themselves. again and again III
the Communist Party Of Germany:
the right opportunist Brandler-
Thalheimer faction had to be
weeded out. The left phrase
nnongers, the Fisher Maslow fac
ton had to be liquidated. Inner
resistance had to be overcome
against the difficult work in the
reformist unions. Every one of
these inner struggles drove the
party a big step forward; every
one resulted i'll a better Bolshevik
Party. This progressive bolshevi-
cation was possible because OF the
international unity Of the Com
munist movement; it was carried
through by the leadership of the

ABSENCE OF C.P. In 1918
AIDED BETRAYERS

The betrayal Of the German re-
volution in 1918 by the social de-
mocrats was facilitated by the alb
Sence Of Communist Party in
Germany at that time. The re-
evolutionary left-wing in the Social
Democratic Party of Germany had
to pay the penalty for its tolera-
ton toward revisionism and oppor-
tunisn.
For decades the left submitted
to the idea that unity of the So
cial Democratic Party from left to
right was q source of strength for
it. 1t turned out to be source
Of weakness. 1t paralyzed the re-
evolutionary wing. 1t bred a COM
promising center. This center, with
Karl Kausty at its head, was the
cohesive force Of this unity. But
it was also the cause of the in
eVitable debacle of Social Demo-
cracy as revolutionary party. The
revolutionary left took the phrases
of the center seriously; they trust
ed it; the right wing, on the other
hand, correctly interpreted the
compromising acts of the center
toward it as a guaranty of its po-
ltical friendship. That is why the
center could maintain this unity.
When the historic test came in
August, 1914, the inevitable hap
pened; the center fell toward the
right; the left remained a scat
tered minority within, and had no
organization outside the Social
Democratic Party. AS a result the
German revolution of 1918 found
itself without leadership.
THERE was the Spartakus Bund,
l Of course there were leaders,
like the agitator Karl Liebknecht,
like the propagandist Rosa Luxem-
burg, like the organizer Leo Yogi
Ctes, and like the writer Franz
Mehring each of them an extra
ordinary force. But there was no
mass organization,

WE BREAK NEW GROUNL

What zaharofr stumbling says
shows how preparations for the
Conference led to meetings in the
most remote sections of the coun-
try. Thirty-six farm organizations
elected delegates. Many new ter
ritories were opened. New local
farmers organizations were created.
Many local struggles initiated.
Such conservative organizations as
the Farmers Union, the National
Grange, and the National Holiday
Association were penetrated. The
Conference presents for the first
time in the history of the country
q real successful united front of
exploited farmers.
III Washington the farmers go to
school. The reports they make con-
vince them that the problem they
all have to tackle is fundamentally
the same. 1t can be stated as
How can we hold on to our farms
and earn a decent living?" AS in
q simple geometry problem, this
statement comes first. The next
step the drawing up OF demands.
The demands are handed Congress.
Perhaps our Government will help
with the solution The dep1onstra-
ton Games swiftly that the Gov
eminent intends doing nothing.
The farmers, however, still have
certain illusions left. Some like
Nebraska" Green believe Free
Silver will help. Others are not
clear about the Frazier Bill, the
Domestic Allotment Bill, and other
measures advocated by Roosevelt
and his friends. The Conferences
next move, consequently, is a
thorough exposure of these meas
ures as designed to benefit bankers,
insurance companies, rich farmers.
Green gets up and announces he
hae erred. Now the farmers see
they can place no faith in the lead
ership of the old farm organiza-
tons, the government, and even
those progressive measures. The
solution of their big problem lies
only in themselves. In Plasterer's
Hall they see a movie how In one
country, Russia, the farmers have

ing since their revolution. Can
they fight alone? Like the Rus
sian farmers, they begin to realize
that they are an important part
Of the working masses, and that
only the combined thrusts OF the
full force of the working masses
will shatter their yokes and make
them masters Of their own homes
and fields.
