This war business Is getting right
down disgusting. The cry OF saving
the worlds democracy" by the worlds
ruling class is an insult to the intelli-
gence of the common people. They,
the ruling class, don't want democracy
to rule, nor did they ever want 1t to,
nor do they intend to have it here or
in England or anywhere else IN the
world Their plan, and their only
plan, is for their own fascist rule now
for ever. If anyone will stop for a
minute and do bit of reasoning,
common sense will tell them the facts.
Capitalism and capitalistic laws as
set I'D in this country, gives the trusts
or the ruling families the right to
rape the national resources of the
country regardless of what effect it
may have upon the common people.
Capitalistic democracy is milder
form of Imperialism and as big bust
ness and trusts grow and swallow
small business and take over and rule
the farming lands, mines and natural
resources of the country along with
the tools of labor, then capitalistic de-
mocracy is growing and forming into
a fascist state. Capitalistic democ-
racy can no more help it's TRANSITIONAL
ton into fascism than a caterpillar
can prevent itself from becoming a
butterfly.
Practically all of big business and
their executives are pro-fascists and
I doubt very much If they even go
to the trouble of denying it. But they
do prove to us every day that they
are fascist in their political beliefs
by arresting and prosecuting working
people for their political beliefs. They |
proved it by refusing to take defense |
contracts until they were allowed to |
set their own profit margin. And they |
prove it by their continuous sale of |
war materials through indirect chan
nels to the enemy and by their direct
sale of materials to nations that are
marked as enemies.
We are spending billions of dollars
for the purposes of building England's
war machine with which to stop Hit
Ter and l will dare say that an old
job of fighting than England is doing.
There are hours spent in chatter over
the radio by speakers and debaters
on what we should do to stop fascism
Should or should we not have troops
in Iceland, Africa, South America and
all points of the globe? Should or
should we not build defenses in Ire
land, Scotland and other points?
Which way will fascism come into
this country? By way of Africa, down t
through Iceland and Alaska, or will {
it swim the Atlantic? The politicians {
and intellect of the country cry gal {
Ions of tears for the lives of the boys I
and their welfare, while at the same
time they are red-baiting at every {
other word +
Why don't these great tory liberals f
that have the peoples welfare at +
heart tell the people few facts for i
a change? =
Why don't they tell them that the f
chains of fascism here have encircled +
hem and are growing tighter every
lay?
Why don't they tell them that these
liberals are only putting
IN sham battle to confuse the pub
ic? Y
Why don't they tell the public that il
abor unions are slated to be des- p
royed? S
Why don't they tell the people that p
here is no such a thing left in the p
world as capitalistic democracy? a.
Why don't they tell the people that p
hat one way leads to fascism and the p
Their to socialism? C;
