cause we are trying to retain political democracy
The professor puts forward the proletarisn die
tatorship being the the fascist-capitalst
dictatorship on the grounds that the governments
regulate or take over economic functions" But he
ignores the enormous difference as to which class
is controlling the economy and in whose interest
it is being controlled.
He also does not take up the fact that the fas-
cist relationships can never really undertake serious
control Of production since under fascsm the means
Of production remain in the hands of private mo-
nopoy capital. The only control" which a capt.
talist government is capable Of is to attempt to
regulate production in the interests OF the biggest
monopolieS at the expense of the whole population
Inevitably capitalist control is shattered by the
contradictions of capitalist production.
Fascism means the smashing of all working class
organizations the lowering of the living standards
Of the masses, and the institution of a regime of
terrorism and brutality against every right of the
working class. Fascism means the open, violent
dictatorship of the capitalist state in the interests
of finance capital The proletarian dictatorship
means the placing of political power in the hands
of the workers. the control of their own lives
through working class democracy the raising of
living standards, for the working and farming
masses, and the release of all the productive and
cultural forces in the country for the building of
Socialism.
ASIDE from his typical bourgeois Liberal state
n ments what is significant in Professor Hoovers
analysis is the recognition that the economic effects
Of the New Deal are becoming more and more OBJ
vious as the economic policies which clear the path
toward faScism.
This development toward fascism of the Roose-
welt New Deal is finding ever increasing recognition
among the bourgeois and liberal spokesman them
selves The recent speech of Ogden Mills, the find
ings of the Methodist Federation for Social Service
the speech of Dr. Virgil Jordan at the National As
ISOLATION OF Manufacturers all mentioned the spe-
cic fascist developments that are rapidly sprouting
out of Roosevelt's program.
Professor Hoover consoles the masses with the
idea that Roosevets economic reaction is counter
balanced by political progressivism" But fascist
economics is breeding fascist reaction in all spheres
of political life under the New Deal BY his de-
Tense of Roosevelt politics" Professor Hoover is
actually strengthening the forces of fascism in
America.
Roosevelt is the agent of the Wall Street mo-
nopoies and is the executor of their policies
When the rising resistance of the masses men
aces the capitalist domination of the monopolies
Roosevelt will not hesitate to unleash full fascist
terrorism against the workers and their organiza-
tons.
Are there not signs enough already that his whole
administration is steadily paving the way for this
fascist reaction?
The growing frequency with which bourgeois
thinkers admit the immanence of fascism in the
New Deal are confirmation of the Communist Party
analysis of Roosevelt's growing trend to war and
fascism.
1t is in the Roosevelt program that the working
class faces its ruthless class enemy. 1t is against
this program that it must direct its attack The
broadcast united front against these fascist develop
ments should be the concern of every worker and
farmer.
