Social Democracy could have

under the Bruening government
in 19SN-32, for it had at It's dis

After all il was the members Of
the SOcial-Democratic Party who
manned the police tanks and
armOred cars: the Berlin police
was recruited from among demo-
cratic elements by Grzesinsky
and Severing. If the Communists
had had at their disposal one
tenth or one-twentieth part If

uiIsky answers it as follows
because II stood on the
same ground as fsscism - the
preservation Of capitalism - be-
cause 1t knew that the fight which
the working class had begun
against fascism would 20 over its
head and take the form of a revo-
luton directed against the dorni-
nation of the capitalists
HOMRADE MANUILSKY, in his
y report, treats in detail Of ths
weaknesses in the work of the Com-
munist Parties, owing to which they
have not yet completely defeated
social democracy. Although 'ths
crisis Of social-democrscy is first Of
all the result of the struggle which
the G. I. and its sections, have for
many years been waging against the
Second International" However,
the International Communist move
ment, in spite Of shortcomings and
weaknesses, is growing and forging
forward. a
The Comintern now comprises Of
100000 Communists in the capitalist
countries, but the point is not only
the numerical growth Of the Com
munist Party, but also the growth
Of their influence
Comrade Manuilsky in his report
also speaks Of the enormous inter-
national Importance Of the great
victories Of the Soviet Union: w
at the present moment. when
the bourgeOisie is driving the
world into imperialist wars. when
ii Is hitting the dissrmed working
class Of the capitalist countries,
IL is particularly clear what the
theory Of the building Of Social
ism in single country means for
the revolutionary movement Of
world. 1t has been and Is the
theory Of the great proletarian
solidarity, of the great internal
tionslism Of the c. P. S. u.
Armed with this theory, the pro-
letariat increasingly prepared, and.
continues to prepare, for the VIC
tory of the proletarisn revolution
throughout the world. Jenin led
the toiIers to the October Revolu-
ton In Russia. Stain will lead
them on Lenin's path to victory
the world over
IN VIEW Of the sharpening war
l danger in preparation for coun~
ter-revolutionary war against the
fatherland of the world proletariat,
Comrade Manuilsky points out that
the workers in the capitalist and
colonial countries will rise in de-
tense Of the Soviet Union, declaring:
Let the bourgeoisie today try to
arm the masses in the capitalist
countries as it armed them at the
last imperislist war It will under
stand then what armed peoples
signify for the fate Of capitalism
AND how armed peoples hasten the
development Of the revolutionary
crisis"
The report Of Comrade Manuilsky
is written in q popular and inspir-
ing manner, at the same time giv-
ing the Bolshevik interpretation of
the present situation and perspec-
tive. No Communist. no worker, can
afford to miss reading the report.
Tt is one of series Of separate
on the 18th Plenun Of
the E. c. C. I. published by The
Workers Library Publishers. The
series includes the report Of Stain
to the 18th Congress Of the COM
munist Party Of the Soviet Union.
Other pamphlets of the series con-
tain Reports and Resolutions of ths
Eighth National Convention Of the

Comrade Manmlsky's report must
receive the biggest circulation. II
will deepen and broaden our under
standing Of world problems and in
the light of this. the problems Of
the American proletariat and toil-
ing masses. II should. especially.
be popularized among the members
of the Socialist Party.
