soclallst Utopia within the national
boundaries of the Soviet Union,
Stailnlsm could not end short Of
capltulation to imperialism. In the
place of the Marxist struggle for
the extension of the revolution,
Stallnlsm substituted diplomatic
maneuvers to preserve "peaCe" by
preserving the status quo. And to
carry out this policy successfully
meant the complete subordination
OF the sections Of the Communist
international to the Soviet foreign
offlce; the Communist parties be- |
came propaganda agents and bor-
der patrols of the Soviet Union, |
not the revolutionary vanguard of |
the working class within their re-
spective countries. Their chief
occupation became not the strug-
gle for power but the singing of
the praises of their master. The
Franco-Soviet Pact and its accom-
panying memoranda showed to the
world that the duty of French
Communists was no longer to
fight the French bourgeoisie, but
to uphold the French bourgeoisie
if only it would give a paper pro-
mise to preserve the Soviet boun-
diaries. When the imperialist
League of Nations was tottering
from the Withdrawals of Japan and
Germany, Stain, instead of help
ing to drive the last nail in its
coffin, entered the League, boil
; stored it's waning authority with
the prestige of the workers state,
and prolonged the Leagues fatal
.. ability to disorient and weaken the
masses and the revolutionary
struggle against war.
' Throughout the development of
the present crisis, the Communist
: International and it's sections every

: League and pro-sanctions, thereby
