XII. The Path.
Concluded


The struggle of the victorious Russian proletariat
for defense of it's Socialist achievements the revo-
lutionary instruction of the oppressed nations
against imperialist ensavement the war of the en-
shaved proletaran class against the class of the
bourgeoise-these and these alone the only pro-
gressive, and hence, the only just wars which
world Communism Fundamentally champions
the pre-condition for the total abolition of war The
overthrow of capitalism represents the alpha and
omega of the revolutionary struggle against by
the Third International.
"As long as capitalism exists there can be no
lasting peace Lasting peace can only be built on
the ruins of the bourgeois social order" so it
declared in the aforementioned manifesto of the
Third international fifteen years ago when all the
social-democratic bells pealing the announce
ment of the approach of eternal peace.
On the eve of the second world war the Social
Democratic path of bourgeois democracy has led
to fascism and unrestricted chauvinism at the
moment when the Communist path of proletaran
dictatorship has made the Soviet Union the
strongest peace fortress in the world while the
growing Socialist wel-being in the land of the
Soviets brought enormous improvement in the
conditions of life of 17000O000 workers and peasants
In the capitalist countries bourgeois democracy has
led to the fascist reign Of terror, to unspeakable
misery and to the danger of war for the toilers
Only in the country of proletarian dictatorship are
the tollers sure OF peace, freedom work and bread
For Is years, the Communist Parties have strug-
gled in the spirit of truly proletarian interna-
tionalism, The national mnorities and the OPP
pressed colonial peoples the toilers of the Soviet
Union as we'll the rebelling soldiers and sailors
of the imperiast armies, have found their boldes
champions in the Third International Who is there
doubt that the second world war the second
intervention, would long ago have become fact,
were it not that the relation Of forces had con-
sderably altered compared to 1914 were it not
that the bourgeosie was in fear of the uncertain
outcome of the war, which lead to the victory
of the world revolution instead of to the victory
OF world reaction? The breach made in the system
of world capitalism by the Russian Soviets and
Soviet China, the mighty revolutionary struggle for
emancipation of the peoples of Asia and national
minorities of Europe the persistent anti-mperiast
struggle Of a united Communist World Party are
new factors in contrast to 1914 which the bour-
geoisie have to take in all seriousness into their
reckoning The path of the revolutionary class
struggle in the sign of the Soviet Star has proved
to be the sole and path for combating the i'm
perialist war
The struggle Of the wide toing masses in all
countries for defense of the Soviet Union and Soviet
China for abolition of the fascist rule of terror and
imperialst danger of war, only be successful
If 1t is carried on by a united working class All
tolers no matter OF what party of what race or
what convictions who absolutely equally affected
by fascist terror and mperialist war; by exploita-
ton and oppression, must stand together in unity.
must fight in unity in order to be able to conquer
in unity AS the Manifesto of the Central Com
mittees of the Communist Parties of Great Britain
France, Germany and Poland addressed to the toll
ers of all countries the goth anniversary of the
outbreak of the war, states IN passionate words:
