THERE is one question that beats day and night in
the minds of every worker and farmer Of this coun-
try: How can we get out Of the crisis7
Every hour of the dag millions Of workers think to
themselves how can we feed our families? Why are
the factories closed when 100000 desperately
work? How can we end the insanity Of hunger
amidst plenty
These questions have already been answered.
The workers and peasants OF Russia in 1917, Is
years ago, faced with the same questions found
the answer.
They gave the answer in the revolutionary
overthrow of ozarist capitalism, the smashing Cf
the capitalist s tie machine, the seizure Of the
factories and the land and the setting up Of the
revolutionary dictatorship Of the working class.
And today after 16 years Of struggle sacrifice, mil
tary intervention civil war and sabotage of capitalist
enemies. the Soviet Unicn stands for all the world
to see proud fortress Of advancing socialist constrc-
ton
In the Soviet Union the toilng masses have what
the working class in America has no-Cney have bread,
work freedom from oppression real democracy, econo-
mic security, access to culture, and steadily advancing
levels Of daily life.
The working class OF America, faced with crisis,
employment and hunger and oppression, has within
its own hands the power 70 solve the crisis of capital
ism in the same way the workers Of the Soviet Union
solved it.
Are the factories closed, is production dropping
workers being thrown into the streets to sarye,
wages being sashed?
Tire American workers can put end TO this BY
The revolutionary seizure Of the factories by the
throw of the WAL ST. capitalist government, by driving
employers and factory cut of power, they
can open every factory the country. They put
every obless worke- back to work. they establish
living wages.
Are prices rising, IS Iood being piled up in the
houses is the Roosevelt government destroying wheat
cotton and meat order abolish the surplus while
millions OF workers and their families starve?
The American working class can put stop
to this by driving out the capitalist Roosevelt gov
erument, by Selling the warehouses and food sup
plies By establishing revolutionary working class
control Of all food distribution, the workers can
within q heirs sweep starvation forever out of
America and put food into months of every
worker and his children.
We have a bank crisis billions of working class saw
ings are frozen i'll the banks Vast boards OF money
rot in Wall Street vaults while the buying power Of
the working class is ground lower every day. by the
Roosevelt government and the employers
In 1917, the working class of Russia was also con-
fronted with terrific bank crisis and they solved it
by Selling the banks driving out the capitalist bankers
taking control of the whole banking system for the
not Of the bond holders and coupon clippers spectators
lation. Today there is no bank crisis in Russia
Here in the United States hundreds of thousands
farmers daily being driven of their land their
homes seized to protect the investments of mortgage
holders banks and insurance companies. Capitalist
government calls out State Militia and Deputy Sheriffs
with machine guns and tear gas to rob the small ruined
farmers of the land which they have worked. The Wall
Street Monopolies bleed the farmers The railroads
strange them with extortionate monopoly rates.
In 1917 the peasants of Russia faced a similar
situation. They solved their problems by uniting
with the revolutionary working class of the cities
in the struggle to overthrow capitalism. They
drove off the landlords and the mortgage holders.
~ Today the farmers of Russia achieving Soci-
aIst triumphs of colIectvization. Their income
their standards Of living, their cultural level Is
rising faster than among any farming class in the
world.
Is the Roosevelt government getting ready to send
the workers Of America into another bloody mperiais
slaughter in order to protect the profits Of Wall Street?
Then the workers stop this too by overthrowing
the Wall Street government Of Roosevelt and putting
in its place the proetarian dictatorship Only
luton against capitalism abolish war. In 1917
that's how the Russian workers endeu the cars i'm
perialst against German imperialism
These the two roads, the road Of submission to
struggle for the overthrow Of capitalism capital
list class rule.
The one leads to starvation and misery to deeper
crisis to and fascism
The revolutionary way OF the Soviet workers leads
to plenty, to ending all unemployment, hunger and
economic crisis forever. We end the crisis and its
miseries can end exploitation and wage slavery by
taking revolutionary road the pointed by the
Communist Parties of the world the road that the Rus
sian workers showed sixteen years ago.
