Life and Teachings Of Lenin

Russian Bolshevik Party, originally
as an amendment to the resolution
on war.
1t was unanimously adopted by all
parties, including the British Labor
Party. Through this decision Lenin
was already, through the forms of
the old Second International, exer-
cising his leadership throughout the
ranks of international socialism in
every country in the world when
the crisis came, although many who
were following his lead did not yet
know his name or the authorship
of the lead they were following.
WHEN the test OF war came in
w 1914, and the need to translate
the resolution into action, the Second
International collapsed. The ma
jority of the Socialist parties of the
leading countries we're rotten with
opportunism, legalism and adapta-
ton to the capitalist regime; their
leadership had long ceased in prac-
tice to be revolutionary. The war
brought this into the open.
The leadership of the British,
French, German, Belgian and Aus
trian parties passed over openly to
the side of the imperialist govern
ments, voted the war credits, called
on the workers to slaughter one
another, and entered into coalition
war governments.
Only the Russian and Serbian
parties stood by the line of inter
national socialism and carried out
their pledges without f1inching. The
Bolshevik deputies in the Duma
voted against the war credits and
were deported to Siberia. In De-
cember, 1914, L b k n h t voted
against the war credits in Germany
The Bolsheviks and the Liebknscht-
Luxembourg group in Germany be-
came the leadership for the rebuild
ing of international socialism.
I ENIN was the first and only leader
Il of international socialism to face
at the outset the full consequences
of this collapse and to draw the
practical conclusions of the line to
follow. AT the outbreak of the war
he was in Austria, and was thrown
in prison by the Austrian govern
ment. Liberated after a fortnight
he made his way to Switzerland, and
from there carried on his agitation
until the revolution in Russia in
1917.
BY the beginning of September
1914. he had written his theses or
the Tasks of Revolutionary Social
Democracy in the European War.

The resolution of the international
Socialist Congress at Stuttgart in
1907, repeated at Copenhagen in
1910, and at Basle in 1912, declared
"If war threatens to break out,
it is the duty of the working class

of their parliamentary representa-

Socialist Bureau, to exert every

with all their energies to strive to
utilize the economic and political
crisis created by the war in order
to arouse the masses and thereby
to hasten the overthrow of capi-

The air is full Of righteous indignation. The news

warrior and the defender of justice.
But there is another crime which newspaper

has gone running to the copy desk with flaming
editorial calling for the death of the murderer.
1t was not a spectacular crime. There no
ransom of fifty thousand dollars demanded. There
were no wealthy celebrated parents weeping in the
spotlight There were no hordes of reporters scrib
bling down the mothers fearful words. There were
no diagrams of the scene Of the murder. No photos
of the instruments which killed him. No closeup
of the killers shifty eyes. No evidence and no in
dictment. No detectives and no go-betweens.
The crime was committed in open daylight. The
murderer was known. The justice of the peace was
in it. The police shrugged their shoulders
Eddie Lewis three years old was killed murdered,

They came at last to Brewster Jncrow hos
pital in Jacksonville. Here they refused to examine
Eddie or give him bed until the white man had
paid When they were assured that their money
was safe, the doctor examined the boy. Now he
disagreed with the diagnosis of the Negro doctor
The small body lay there quietly coldly in the bed

that capitalism had entered into

the chain of imperialism, Russia,
and under the leadership of the
most advanced and strongest revo-

This was the center point and
turning point In Lenin's life, and
the center point and turning point
in modern history.
