"B0URGE0ISIE WANTS TO POSTPONE THE DOOM OF
CAPITALISM BY A CRIMINAL IMPERIALIST WAR;

We have reviewed our tasks in the
struggle against war many times. We
have further elaborated the basic di-
receives in the struggle against war
which we're laid down at the Sixth
World Congress Under the heading,
immediate Tasks" we shall speak
more about some special features of
the struggle against war. What is
new in the question is the iinmediacy
Of The war danger. which is much
sharper than it has ever been. What
IS new is the necessity to combat the
tendencies to relax the struggle
against war, tendencies which rise
out of 3 certain feeling OF exultation
over the victories Of our socialist
fatferland, the Soviet Union, and the
feeling that because of these victo-
Ties all is well, the danger is not SO
big. These victories are very great;
these victories mean very much;
these victories strengthen the oppor-
tunities for our transformation of
The crisis into the proletarian revolu-
ton, but in no way do they tighten
our tasks in the struggle, and IN no
way do they remove the dangers in
volved in the world situation.
To sum up this section, repeat
the paragraph of the thesis which
points out:
THE bourgeoisie wants TO post
pone the doom of capitalism by a
criminal irnperialist war and q
eounter-reyolutionary ampafgn
against the land Of victorious So
eialism. The great historical task
If international communism is to
mobilize the broad masses against
war, even before war has begun
and thereby hasten the doom Of
capitalism. Only boishevik Strug-
gle before the outbreak OF war, for
the triumph Of revolution, can as
sure the victory of the revolution

We pass over to brief conSidera-
lion of the tasks Of the Parties that
lew out Of this analysis Of the world
situation. The Thirteenth Plenum
laid down that the central oriental
ton of all tasks Of the Parties is the
development of mass indignation
against fascism and war, the organ
ization and strengthening Of the
struggie against fascisin and war.
The first concentration of this
General orientation is the fight
against fascist theology. The thesis
points out that the Communists, the
Communist Party, must daily and
concretely expose every manifestation
Of chauvinism, expose this to the
masses and oppose this by proletarian
nternationalisn; that in the inn
psrialist countries we must come out
determineoly, Systematically for the
independence Of the colonies, for the
Liberation of the oppressed nations
from all national oppression. In the
key points of international antago-
lisnns, the Communists must reso-
lutely take stand against all ideas
Of imperialist occupation and i'm
Derialisb solution Of these territorial
questions, counterposing the concep-
ion Of self determination of these
areas, such as Upper Silesia. the
Saar, Northern Bohemia, the Danzig
corridor, ETC.; they must on the basis
