SPREAD DANGEROUS
ILLUSIONS

It is in the illusions they seek to
create in regard to the possibility
of the establishment of. modern
Utopia without organization and
revolutionary political struggle by
the working class that the Techno-
Gratis are dangerous to the interests
of the masses. In this way they
render sterling aid to American
capitalism at a time when the
sharpness of the crisis and class
relationships impel capitalism to
grasp at any method which seems
to show the possibility of perpe-
tuating illusions among the masses
and thereby prolonging its life.
"a part of the bourgeoisie," says
the Communist Manifesto, sis de-
sirOus of redressing social grievan-
ces, in order to secure the con-
tinued existence of bourgeois So
ciety.
"T0 this section belong econo-
mists, philanthropists, humanita-
rians, improyers of the condition
of the working class. organizers of
charity, members of societies for
the prevention of cruelty 10 ami
mails, temperance fanatics, hole
and corner reforuiers of every i'm
aginabIe kind
To this list We can add Technu-
Gratis. Such elements of the type
of "sociahstic bourgeois" said
Marx and Engels, desire the exist
ing state of society minus its re-
evolutionary and disintegrating ele-
ments. They wish for a bourge-
oisie without a proletariat."
TIE Technocrats desire to save
l capitalism from itself. Their
concern is caused by the fact that
capitalisms contradictions have
been brought so clearly into relief
by the crisis occurring against the
background of the decline and de-
cay Of capitalism as q world sys-
tenn, and by the rise of the Soviet
Union-affording the concrete con-
trast between Socialism in action
and capitalist stagnation-that the
question OF the revolutionary con-
quest of political power is placed
on the order Of business of the
world proletariat, and its world
Party, the Communist Interna-
tional.
The Technocrats say in their Of

WRITING in the Communist
" Manifesto about various saviors
and messiahs, and the inventors Of
various social systems, Marx and
Engels said:
Historical action is to yield
to their personal inventive ac-
ton, historically created condi-
tons of emancipation to FAINT
astic ones, and the gradual, spon-
taneous class organization of the
proletariat to an organization of
society specially contriVed by
these inventors. Future history
resolves itself, in their eyes, into
the propaganda and the practical
carrying out of their social
plans. they consider them
selves far superior to all class
antagonisms. They want to i'm
prove the condition of every
member of society, even that of
the most favored. Hence, they
habitually appeal to society at
large, without distinction of
class; nay, by preference, to the
ruling class. For how can people,
when once they understand their
system, fail to see in it the best
possible plan of the best possible
state Of society?"
Hence. they reject all po-
litical, and especially all revolu-
tionary action; they wish to at
tain their ends by peaceful
means, and endeavor, by small
experiments, necessarily doomed
to failure, and by force OF ex-
ample, to pave the way for the
new social Gospel" (My en-

from being useless" as the Tech
nocrats say, is extremely useful for
the capitahsts-that it is by means
of the capitalist state machine -
courts, jails, police, troops, etc. -
and the immense avenues of pro-
paganda which the economic and
political control by the capitalist
class places at its disposal, that
the working class is held in sub
lection.
POLICY OF SURRENDER
To reject revolutionary action in
the form of political struggle a.
gainst the capitalist state, as the
Technocrats do, is to preach pol
icy of surrender to capitalism
Nothing SO eXciteS the ire of the
spokesman of Technocracy as the
claim that the working class of the
Soviet Union, by revolutionary
struggle, led by its political party,
has found the way out Of the
morasS of capitalism and is march
ing toward a classics society with
rapid strides.
Russia" says Parrish in the
New Outlook, with its much
Wanted Communism, is but a
slight variation Of the American
price system when placed under an
exacting light
THE slight variation in condi-
i ton consists mainly in the fact
that the capitalist class has been
deprived of political power, abol
ished as a class and that the state
power and the control of natural
resources and machinery is in the
hands of the working class and
peasantry and its government. 1t
is such slight variations" as these
that the TechnocratS are DESTROYS
of concealing from the American
workers and toiling farmers. This
is exactly the kind of aid. disguised
with high flown and pscudo-scien-
tifice phrases, that American rul-
ing class is glad to get from Tech
nocracy.
More than this: In the world
crisis of capitalism there is to be
noted that, as the Twelfth Plenum
of the Executive Committee OF the
Communist International empha-
sized, "a wave of chauvinism and
nationalism is sweeping through
the whole capitalist world" Tech
nocracy brings to this tendency in
the United States the support of
its chronological survey. 1t pro-
poses, in almost so many words,
the extension of the conquest of
Canada and Mexico as the pre-
requisite for the salvation of Wall
Street capitalism.

OXFORD, Miss.-The following
is statement made by O.,
Negro, just released from the
prison camp at Lambert, Mis-
sissippi where Mr. Williams was
superintendent and Mr.. w. d.
Fifth was sergeant.
O. was given two years.
His first work was working III a
swamp, clearing the land and burn
ing the brush. There he was
whipped with the strap because he
fell down from utter exhaustion
One lick with that 17is pound
strap cost o a broken rib.
The smoke evidently ruined his
eyesight, for he can hardly see any
more and had good eyes when he
got there.
SIXTEEN-HOUR DAY
They work 10 hours day In
the morning they get one cup Of
something that should be coffee
with hardly any sugar, cold biscuit
and black-strap molasses. Dinner,
turnip- greens, not washed, cooked
in an old gasoline drum with dirt,
worms and all, white rice with
black pepper SO hot you couldn't
eat it, and a piece of sowbelly, 2
inches square, like leather. Sup
per, cold biscuit, the same meat as
at dinner and black-strap molasses.
The dormitory was SO full of YER
min it was impossible even to get
few hours rest. Castor oil, one
pint at time, was the main
medical attention. n that didn't
cure, the strap was used mercilessly.

Here We have providential
geologic set-up, trained person
mel, and installed physical
equipment. No nation or group
of nations in the entire world
can be compared with the social
complex of this continent. And
is it not a continental problem,
rather than national? Have the
political boundaries on the north
and south any real significance
when placed in the light of en-
ergy? North America could bar
ricade itself from the rest of the
world and provide large pop
ulation with a higher standard of
living than it has ever known.
There is not a single major re-
source lacking. Of course the
problem of creating such a go
ciety is a real one But more
real yet is the fact that the ma

Many of these statements are
simply not true, but we are not now
concerned about the factual accu-
racy Of the above quotation. What
we are interested in pointing out
Is the expression of a Yirulent
chauyinism and the additional and
important fact that the Techno-
Gratis are alarmed because "the
nation is threatened with disas-

THE working class is suffering in
credible misery as a result of
the fact that capitalism no longer
provides work, food, clothing and
shelter for millions of toilers. The
capitalist class is still in power.
When the Technocrats speak of

is evident that they are concerned,
not with the needs of the working
class, but with the danger to the
capitalist class and its power to
rule and rob inherent in the fact
that it is losing its grip on the
masses, that its moral prestige is
being undermined by the continued
economic crisis.
1t is not the Soviet Union, prole-
tartan fortress and fount of revo-
lutionary inspiration for millions
of workers and colonial peoples,
that blazes the trail out of the
miasmatic swamp of capitalism,
