Life and Teachings Of Lenin

extension Of the base of the socialist
revolution, and final victory of the
world Bevolution.
The Dictatorship Of the Proletariat
IF THE center of Lenin's teaching
is the understanding of the task
Of the world revolution as the
urgent task of the present stage,
the practical expression of this Is
the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Once again the theoretical for
mutation by Marx Of the dictator
ship Of the proletariat as the nee
essary form of the transition to So
cialism, and as the essence of his
revolutionary teachings, repeated by
him in his writings from beginning
to end, is brought to concrete
realization and new living actuality
by Lenin.
The teachings of Marx and Engels
on the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat became overlaid and forgot
ten after their death by the leaders
of the Second International, who
became soaked in bourgeois par
liamentarism. Marx and Engels had
taught the workers to use the forms
of parliamentarism and universal
suffrage solely in order to organize
the forces of the working class for
the inevitable final struggle, which
could only take the form of civil
war. But the leaders of the Second
International began to see the
sham parliamentary forms as the
realities of power, and to preach
the anti-Marxist doctrine of the
possibility of pure democracy"
within capitalism and of the con
quest of power" by the proletariat
through bourgeois parliaments.
THE state, Marx had taught, is only
l "the executive committee of the
ruling class" Under capitalism the
state is the organ of the capitalist
dictatorship. The only alternative
is the dictatorship of the prole-
tariat.
In capitalist society there can
be no middle course between the
capitalist dictatorship and the
rroletarian dictatorship. Any
dream of a third course is merely
the resctionary lament CT the low
err middle class. Bourgeois Dem
ocracy and the Dictatorship of the

Reveals Great Losses i'm
ImpersOnated
Interview
Little Lefty

Mr.. L. T. Russell, publisher Of the
Newark Ledger, is feeling sick"
over the strike of his editorial
workers for a living wage. This
acute attack is due to the fact that
the strike has taken $60,00 a year
out of his income. This piece of in
teresting information came out in
telephone conversation between
Mr.. Russell and a strike SYM
pathizer who impersonated Harvey
Kelly, chairman of the Newspaper
Industrial Board, and chairman Of
the open shop division of the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION. Mr.. Russell poured out
what passes for his heart to his
listener, believing that he was
speaking to Mr.. kelly"
Following is a stenographic tran
script Of the highlights of the forty
minute conversation which took
place on January 10. 1t is submitted
by the anonymous sympathizer.
"Kelly"-Mr. Russell, this is Har-
vey Kelly, of the A.NPA. I was
glad to see your Mr.. Warner the
other day. There was something I
thought I might take up with him,
but on second thought decided I'd
better leave for a personal talk
with you. The special finance COM
mittee of the association meets
Tuesday, and I thought it might be
good idea for you to let me have
brief, carefully phrased letter to
use as an ice-breaker to lay your
problem before the committee. I
wish you would write me such a
letter I am interested also to know
how you are getting along in your
difficulty
Russell-Yes, that's fine, I'll write
you a letter. (Then followed at
tacks upon Marlen Pew and local
liberal clergyman active in behalf
of the strikers, with sympathetic
tsks tsks from "Kelly.")
"Kelly"-How is your circulation

ton generally?

But they've done lot of harm

harm, great damage. But, Mr.. Kelly,
the greatest damage was with the
news dealers. They got this fellow
Haywood Broun to stir up the news
dealers against me, and had to cut
the rates to them. It's taken $4,000
a year out of my income-I'll never
get that back, never. You know, Mr..
Kelly, that means million dollars
out of the good will. This thing has
already cost me in excess of $4,000

tiOns and Answers" 70 Daily Worker, 80 East
18th Street New York City.
Question: What would the Communists do when
they set up workers and farmers government.
in this country Steel worker
Answer: The necessary first step for the revolue
tonary solution of the crisis is the setting up Of
the dictatorship of the proletaat and the destrucs
ton Of every form and institution Of the rule of the
capitalists The revolutionary workers government
would seize the industries and other economic in
stitutions now held by the capitalists and make
them the common property of the toilers.
The warehouses which are kept locked by the
capitalist class would Immediately be opened up
to the people, Factories would begin turning out
goods for the needy masses. Unused buildings and
big apartments would be opened for the use of the
working people. Unemployment and social insurance
would Immediately be provided for all who work
by hand and brain. The whole economy Of the coun-
try would be geared to raising the living standards
of everyone There would be no exploitation by the
private owners of the means Of production.
The revolutionary workers government would
end the anarchy and lack Of planning that charac-
terize capitalist production Socialist economic PLAN
ming would completely reorganize the productive
forces of the country The almost inexhaustible
resources Of the nation would be utilized for the
benefit of the toiers, and not for a parasitic few
From the very beginning the productive output
would be greatly increased and every necessity Of
life would be provided for the entire population.
In few years the result Of socialist planning
the entire industrial plant Of the country would be
reconstructed so as to provide endless supply Of
goods and comforts for everyone. With living
standards rising sharply with constantly expand
ing economy, there would be no unemployment,
hours Of work would be reduced to two or three a
day. and life rich in culture would be available
to everybody
There is not enough space here to deal with all
the things that a workers government would do.
For further details read the Manifesto of the Eighth
National Convention Of the Communist Party Of
the United States 1t is important to emphasize that
TO achieve a Socialist society, we must fight every
day agains reduced living standards against every
attempt Of the capitalists to fost the crisis still
more upon the backs of the workers. 1t is around
the struggle for bread and against and fsscism
that the Communist Party is organizing the masses
for the overthrow of cspitalism-the necessary first
step towards building society in which there will
be neither exploitation nor oppression Of by
man.

automatic assessment--that would
keep them going forever. I hear
they even get their noise trucks
without paying a cent.
"Kelly'-How many Of them are
there2
Russell-There's forty-four of
them and they pick out the kids,
and tramps, they don't have to pay
them anything except for cup of
toffee and cruller once a day.
"Kelly"-YeS, I suppose they live
at home with their parents. All
they would need is few pennies
for their publication, and every
thing else goes by the board. Now
if you would write me a carefully
worded letter
Russell dnterrupting)- Kelly,
I'll assume that the AN.P.A. has

'Kelly"-Why don't you get an
injunction? Can't you do something
to stop it?
Russell-We've taken our medi-
cine without getting an injunction
because I'm afraid we'll offend the
labor unions here. But this is no
condition to go on. There is no way
in the world to continue. The
guards cost me twenty dollars a
piece, so that the boys can go out
and cover their work. We're getting

double, and it simply can't go on.

the chain" where the revolution
begins.
IMPERIALISM has drawn the
whole world closely into single
complex, no longer merely in the
sense of the old bare uniformity of
the world market, but in whole
series of stages of dependence and
servitude, colonial countries, debtor
countries, defeated countries, etc,
reaching up in pyramid to the
final handful of financial oligar-
chies at the top, who are in turn
at war among themselves and in
constantly changing relations Of
strength.
1t is manifest that the struggle for
liberation here can only be correctly
understood as single struggle and
not in artificial compartments. All
the contradictions Of capitalism
reach their highest point in the
conditions of imperialism: first, the
struggle of the proletariat against
the bourgeoisie in the leading i'm
perialist countries; second, the
struggle of the colonial peoples for
liberation from the imperialist yoke;
third, the conflict of the imperialiSt
powers among themselves; and
fourth-in the postwar stage
the conflict of imperialism against
the new rising workers power, the
Soviet Union. Through the COM
bined development of all these con-
f1icts the world revolution devel-
ops. Imperialism" said Lenin,
"is the eve of the socialist revo-
luton"
just as the proletariat in each
country leads the struggle of all
the exploited masses, so on the
world scale the international pro-
letariat leads the struggle of the
colonial peoples for liberation from
imperialism. It is the alliance OF
the proletariat in the leading i'm
perialist countries and Of the colo
NAL masses fighting for liberation
that is able to lead to the success
full overthrow of imperialism. This
develops as process over many
years, of separate struggles in diff
ferent parts of the world, of i'm

tories and defeats, TO the growing

They engineered the scheme under
cover and got it into court-really!
Now, I'm not going to cry at your
doorstep, but it's an absolute
miracle that I've been able to hold
out; don't know where I'll be next
week. Since I've been in Newark
I've had too much to do and too
much to worry about to be able to
attend your meetings. Then there's
dues-say, why did Howard Davis
send Marlen Pew's article here to
Kresge's department store? It's
given me a great deal of trouble
that's the only department store
I've had trouble with. (Here Russell
went into background of an old
fight with Davis)

HOW TO WIN JOBS, by Leonard

HOW TO WIN JOBS, by Leonard
Sparks, issued by Section l, Com
munist Party, New York, cents.
BASED on extensive research, this
~ pamphlet brings before the
masses of New York workers for the
first time vivid picture of the pres
ent housing situation, of the fake
government programs, and rrost i'm
portant of all, concrete program
for mass action. 1t raises the chal-
lenge to every club and neighbor-
hood organization to campaign for
jobs and houses.
After showing that no houses can
be built for profits or even on a
government self -liquidating" plan
at rents workers can pay, Sparks
says: 1.-THE only way in which they
can have decent apartments under
capitalism is to have the houses
publicly built and rented at rents
proportional to the income of the
workers, the unemployed to live
rent-free until after the passage of
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill"
THIS pamphlet concretely and cor
rectly answers the question Of
immediate demands, of transitional
slogans between our present capital
tck rta t1aA fs,4t CAxyiat
America. It insists that just as
mass action won unemployment re-
lief in New York in 1880, stopped
evictions in 1928, and won the
restoration of rent checks in 1894,
it can now force some concessions
from the capitalists and their gov
eminent" in the way of decent
houses and building jobs.
This does not mean that workers
will be given" decent houses by
their capitalist governments. There
are no such illusions in Sparks
pamphlet. AS he says:
ITO furnish jobs and good houses
in New York, the housing move
ment must, likewise, be a workers
movement. 1t will win what it
wants best when it helps produce
workers and farmers government,
but to get anywhere at all, it must
be backed by all the workers Or

workers, who have no interests but
those of the workers, to office. 1t

houses and who need the jobs. So
