Ia mnoge radnike, kada citaju
iii slusaju nase izvestaje sa nasih

skoro neverovatno, da tako broj-
no mala organizacija, kao sto je
nasa, ma svojim konvencijama mo
re sakupiti toliku ogromnu sunni
novca. Oni Sc "cudu' pitaju:
kakva je to sila koia pokrece nase
clanove simpaticare da Sc toliko
materijalno zrtvuju "a svoj pokret,
kakvo Sc pozrtvovanje ne moze
primetiti kod drugih radnickih or
ganizacija, uopste kod drugib
organizacija.
Ako je to "a njih nepoimljivo i
neshvatljivo, pojmljivo je jasno
"a nase clanove simpaticare. To
je ideja - ideja oslobodjenja
radnicke klase "a koju tako O.
bilno voljno zrtvuju nasi clano-
vi simpaticari. Ona je ia pokret-
ma sila koja pokrece nase clans
two simpaticarstvo na dobroyo-
ljacki rad dobrovoline priloge,
ier su oni svesni cinjenice: da os-
lobodjenje radnicke klase mora BIZ
ii klasnosveno delo samih radni-
ka.
Drukce stoji sa drugim organi-
zacijama, posto d ruge e organi-
zacije bile one "radnicke iii
patriotske nemaju "a svoj cilj
oslobodjenje radnika. Njihov je
cilj trgovacke prirode, kao ma ka-
kvo drugo trgovacko preduzece
pod kapitalizmom; dobiti nesto
danas iii nakon smrti - pokop.
Zbog ovog razloga clanovi tih or
ganizacija nedaju tako rado o.
bilno tim organizacijama u obli-
ku dobrovoljnih priloga. Ono sto
i koliko daju, to daju u obliku O.
baveza nameta.
IL ovih razloga mi kazemo, tyr
dino dokazujemo, da sve druge
organizacije, bez obzira ma ime,
nisu radniGke nego burzoaske Or
ganizacije, jer one ne rade niti
imaju "a cilj oslobodjenje radnie-
ke klase ispod najamnog ropstva.
Prema tome, one kao takve, ne "a
sluzuju moralnu niti materiialnu
potporu radnika. Obratno, budu-
ei nasa organizacija - Socijalis-
ticka Radnicka Partija - ina "a
cilj radi "a oslobodjenje rad
nieke klase, ona ne samo da zaslu-
zuje moralnu i materijalnu potpo-
ru svih radnika, nego je njihova
duznost da joj pruze takvu pot
poru, te da konacno stupaju ME
ne redove, pa da uzmu aktivna
ucesca u svome svoje klase os-

Svrha nase dolazece konvenci-
