The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-10-30

elect one or two, and support them by mass actions
and the capitalists can be forced TO pass the I'm
employment Insurance Bill (H r. 1897 The most
practical thing in the world today in the fight
for immediate gains is to vote Communist
The next most practical thing is to organize I'm
employment Councils. And the next most practical
thing is to organize into the Trade Unions and put
forward militant Communist leadership These are
the practical ways of getting better conditions If
you depend upon the N. R. A., the Blue Eagle, and
the codes, you will get just exactly in the future
what you have been getting in the past year.
You remember what they promised us a year
ago. The N. R. A. going to bring back pros
perty quickly 1t was going to solve the crisis. The
Blue Eagle was going to lay golden eggs in the
pockets of the workers The Blue Eagle laid the
golden eggs, but they went into the treasures of
the big bankers and what the workers got out Of
the Blue Eagle was not golden eggs at all.
We must not have any faith that any improve
ment in our condition will come from any Party
that is trying to uphold the capitalist system. The
only Party the only organization that will lead
the fight for immediate betterment of our cond-
tons, even if it entails the ending of the capitalist
system, is a revolutionary Party.
Communists Prove Sincerity
They say that the Communists are not sincere
in fighting for better conditions, for unemployment
insurance. They say we use these demands merely
as a means of preparing for bloody revolution.
AS matter OF fact only those who are revolution
lists will really fight for these better conditions now
Those who are afraid to press the capitalists and
force them to give more are not fighting for better
conditions. The Socialist Party, in spite of its
name, always comes to the point where it betrays
the demands of the workers Just because it is
afraid of revolution That is why, when the So
cia1sts were in power in Germany, they didn't
build Socialism They carried cut policy which led
to the victory OF Fascism The same thing hap
pened in Spain But who heard of the Com
munist Party being in power and allowing the capt
talists to come back again?
1t is true the Communists are revolutonaries.
Our program is program of revolution. What
do We mean by revolution? We have no illusions
over this question of our getting into power When
We invite you to vote the Communist ticket in the
elections, we don't tell you that that is going to
make the revolution. That is going to help among
other things. 1t will help win some immediate de-
mands. 1t will help to improve conditions, but
it won't solve the problem
The developments in every country have proved
that the capitalists will never give up power with
out fight and when they see the workers getting
into Office the capitalists demolish parliament and
set up fascist dictatorship. They are going in
the direction in the United States and be-
fore you ever have a chance to elect Communist
Congress, they will abolish Congress and set up a
fascist dictatorship in the United States. We warn
you not to have any illusions about that
The Communist Party warns you that we will
finally have to destroy capitalism in the United
States by our organized struggle. We will have
to prepare for it in the same way that they did
in Russia when they established workers and
farmers government, Soviet Power. This is not
far off even in the United States. The revolution
is not fifty years off
Capitalism is breaking down. 1t can't last Mil
lions of workers 100000 in the United States
alone can't get jobs and have to depend upon char
ity cut off from all human conditions of living.
Do you think such system continue? 1t is
