Those Who "RediscoVer" Marx to
Falsfy His Teachings

Could there be a more open ra-
tionalizing of the treachery of the
German social-democracy in 1914?
The New Leader, S. P. official or
gan, carried in its December oath
issue a eulogy of Bernstein. This
eulogy winds up with the state
ment. "He was a great thinker,
a great statesman, great social
list, and great man. Socialists
walk more proudly because such
men have walked among them"
The Nation, in the January 4th is
sue, has an article on Eduard
Bernstein by Ludwig Lore, a rene
gade from Communism and at
present Musteite. The final
sentence of this article by Lore on
Bernstein says: 1.-THE world has
lost a courageous and faithful ide-
alist." A great thinker" for the
New Leader, courageous and
faithful idealist" for Lore, the
Musteite, and a great man of Gin
tellectual honesty" for Hook! The
praise of these people for Bernstein
reveals them all as revisionists Of
the great revolutionary teachings
Of Marx, Engels and Lenin. The
above revisionists all pay tribute
to Bernstein of which social-fas-
cism is the logical consequence.
STAIN DEVELOPS TEACHINGS
OF MARX AND LENIN.
To popularize Marxism on the
50th Anniversary of Marks death
means to apply it to the epoch of
Imperialism and of proletarian re-
volution; it means to popularize
Marxism- Leninism. "a point, in
cidentally, which is deliberately ig-
nored by the entire crop of self
styled "MarXists"). In this period
of the end of relative capitalist
sterilization, when our main blows
must be directed against social
democracy, when we must expose
their left maneuvers in drapings
of Marxism, it is well to remember
the statement of Comrade Stain
that "it is fact that Lenin brought
to light once more the revolution
AIRY content of Marxism which had
been CLOSED over by the opportu-
nists of the Second International
and "Leninism originated and grew
strone in cnr'''ct VIII, the OBJ
.portunism of the Second Interna-
tionaI-a conflict essential to sue
cess in the struggle against CAPT
talisln."
In this period of the end of rela-
tive capitalist sterilization, in the
period OF the successful building
of Socialism in the Soviet Union,
we cannot apply the teachings OF
Marxism- Leninism without apply
ing it in its further development
by Comrade Stain. The role of
Comrade Stain in this respect was
stated by Comrade Manuilsky in
the following words:
"On the basis of the law of the
uneven development of imper-
ialism, he (Stalin) has worked
out and carried into operation
the feminist teachings on the
building of socialism in single
country end this Stalinjst posi-
tion, which is understood by the
whole of the Communist Inter
national, the task of preparing
the International proletariat for
new round of wars and revOlu-
tions, is actually being carried
out"
In the light of the struggle for
the complete victory of Marxism-
Leninisn, in the light of the strug-
gle for the exposure of the social
fascist leaders as the carriers of
bourgeois theology into the ranks
of the working class, in the light
of the struggle for the revolution
airy way out of the capitalist crisis,
let us commemorate the 50th an
niversary of the death of our
great leader and teacher, Karl
Marx
