The magnificent edifice of
the new world being built by
the heroic labors of the free
peoples on vast areas of Europe
and Asia is a prototype of q
new society, of the future of all
mankind.
Sd Capitalist Crisis Seen
World capitalism has now
entered a new. third stage Of
a general crisis.
The principal feature Of this
new stage is that its develop
ment was not due to a world
war.
| The general crisis of capital
ism finds expression in the
following:
The breakaway from capital
ism of more and more coun-
tries; the weakening of the i'm
perialist positions in the econo-
mic competition with socialism;
1.-THE breakup of the imperialist
colonial system; the intensifi-
cation of imperialist contradic-
tions with the development of
state-monopoly capitalism and
the growth of militarism;
The mounting internal in
stability and decay of capital
ist economy, evidenced by the
increasing inability of capital
ism to make use of the produc-
tive forces; low rates of pro-
duction growth, periodic crises,
continuous undertaking of
production plant, and chronic
Unemployment; the mounting
struggle between labor and
capital and acute intensified
ton of contradictions within
the world capitalist economy,
and an unprecedented growth
of political reaction in all
spheres; rejection of bourgeois
freedoms and establishment Of
fascist and despotic regimes in
a number of countries: and the
profound crisis of bourgeois
policy and theology.
us. Main Center
US. monopoly capital has be-
come the biggest international
lexploiter. It is performing the
function of a world gendarme.
The economic and with it po-
litical and military center of
Imperialism, has shifted from
Europe to the US.
The US. monopoly bourge-
oisie is the mainstay of inter-
national reaction.
The U.S.A., the strongest
capitalist !, power. is past its
zenith and has entered the
stage of decline. Imperialist
countries such as Great Britain,
France, Germany and Japan
have also lost their former
power.
The antagonism of labor and
capital. the contradictions be-
tween the people and the
monopolies, growing militarism,
the breakup of the colonial sys-
tenn, contradictions between i'm
perialist countries, conflicts
and contradictions between the
young national states and the
old colonial powers, and-~most
important of all-the precipit-
Gus growth of world socialism,
are sapping and destroying i'm
perialiSm. leading to its weak
en1ng and collapse.
Peaceful Revolution Possible
The proletarian revolution in
a country, being part Of the
world socialist revolution, is
accomplished by the working
class Of that country and the
masses of its people.
The revolution is not made
| to order. 1t cannot be imposed
on the people from without.
Together with the other
Marxist-Leninist parties, the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union (CPSUb regards 1t as its
Iinternationalist duty to call on
the peoples of all countries to
prevent imperialist export of
counter-revolution.
Communists have never held
that the road to revolution
necessarily lies through wars
between countries. The great
detectives of the working class
can be realized without world
war. The working class and
its vanguard, the Marxist-
feminist parties. prefer to
achieve the transfer Of power
from the bourgeoisie to the
proletariat by peaceful means,
without civil war.
Where the exploiting classes
resort to violence against the
