The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-07-04

Continued from rage
of millions. German imperialism is
preparing for foreign political ad-
ventures. 1t already carries on a
strenuous and dangerous trade war.
The masses have already G7en re-
duced to hungry existence as dur
ing the war blockade in order to
create for the Krupps, the Thys-
sens. the stock exchange and the
banks maneuvering funds. The main
idea of the whole program of capital
at the present program essentially
led to this further plumber. The
economic life in Germany OF late
months became still more acute.
"The general worsening of the in
te,nal and international condition
of the fascist dictatorship resulted
in the sharp struggle within its
own ranks. Fermentation, ever
stronger and deeper, is permeating
the ranks of the Storm Troopers
and is becoming still more dan
gerous.
"Hitler managed to Isolate
Roehm's group and eXterrninate it
physically But the millions OF de-
ceived Storm Troopers remain.
These cannot be 'liquidated'; but to
deceive them is becoming harder.
Therefore, the crack in the IA
cade of the dictatorship, splitting
itself off from its mass base, teens
with all sorts of surprises. The sit
uation in Germany shows that it is
becoming ever harder for the fascist
dictatorship to prevent a union be-
tween the working masses resisting
the plunderous program of finance
capital and the fermentation within
the masses of the petty bourgeolsle.
Fascism has shown itself to be the
meanest enemy of the petty bour-
geois masses, whose aspirations 1t
utilized to the limit for the struggle
against the revolutionary prole-
tariat. The petty-bourgeois masses
have the opportunity to convince
themselves that even for them there
is no other way out but to struggle
shoulder to shoulder with the p-ple-
tariat under the leadership Of the
Communist Party against capitalist
society and its fascist gendarnles.
The Military Arm
"Such power of monopolist cap.
ital as the Reichswehr German
army is becoming the master Of
the situation in Germany. The
Reischwehr is not only an army
in the narrow sense of the word
it is the most tested armed sup
port of the ruling classes, theil
political staff and military instru-
ment. 1t is not accidental that thi!
| instrument is brought into actor
at the moment when the repression
of the leadership of the Storm
| Troopers became necessary.
"The mass basis Of fascism has
been seriously shaken. The old
forms of demagogy have proved
useless. But one more test is fac
ing fascism. Germany is approach
ing imitation, and this concomitant
ruination, not only of the prole-
tariat, but also of the widest
layers of the petty bourgeois.
1T is not excluded, therefore, tina
the fascist dictatorship will agail
apply social demagogy of anothe
kind aimed at checking the masse
with promises resting on the Reisch
swehr bayonets.
Worsening Economic Situation
1.-The economic situation in Ger
many is becoming worse, and this il
the last analysis predetermines tn
Fastening of the passage of tn
toilers from as yet passive forms o
resistance against the policy of rob
berry and oppression to active mas
struggles.
German fascism will still maneu
yer, resting itself on the teste
weapon of attempting to deceive tn
masses. But this at the same tim
will increase the discomfort an
fluctuations among the deceive
masses, reducing the maneuverin
capacity and contracting the basi
of the dictatorship.
"The final collapse of the Ger
man bourgeoisie under fine blows
of the coming rise of the revolu-
tionary masses is quite near
