Established 1873) E> =— —— THE BOLSHEVIK PROGRAM Like the German propaganda, the pro-Bolshe- | vik agitation makes very grave blunders—even | from its own standpoint. The pro-Bolshevists, | for example, are making claims on behalf of the} Bolshevik, which the latter themselves deny! In America, the Russian Bolshevists are repre- sented as being democrats; in Russia, Lenine and his followers lose no occasion to repudiate democ- racy, both in word and in deed. Our quotations will show that the very basis of Bolshevism con- sists in the repudiation of democracy ! In America, the Bolsheviki are represented a: having given land to a landless peasantry ; in Rus- sia, the ‘Rolsheviki attribute nearly all of their! troublesto the fact that there has been very| little land (not in peasant hands before the revo-| lution) to give—a fact which will also be demon-} strated,later by quotations from the Bolsheviki | themselves. f In ‘America, the ‘Bolsheviki are represented as being’ pacifists; Lenine and Trotzky have a ed no opportunity to denounce bourgeois pacifis and to assert that they are in favor of a holy war | against any and all non-Bolsheviki governments, | wherever such a war has a chance of success. | In America, the Bolsheviki are represented as favoring individual liberty ; in Russia, the Bolshe- viki absolutely repudiate such regard for personal | liberty as' being a “bourgeois doctrine and prac- | tice.” “In America, Lenine is represented as being al , hundred per cent socialist; in Russia, Lenine pre- ' sents: himself as:being one hundfed per. cent: anti-} } socialist; that! is} a “communist,” opposed to the! ' socialist international. In May?"1917,: the first or non-Bolsheviki.revo- lution: was ‘already sufficiently developed to en- ' able. Lenine. to define the application of his doc-} trine to the new political situation in which Rus- found itself. From the “New International” ee 1918), an American Bolsheviki publication, | we quote the, following, paragraph of a long arti-}- _ cle by Lenine: The word democracy cannot be scientifically . applied to the communist party. Since March, ~ 1917, the word democracy is simply a shackle fastened upon the revolutionary nation and preventing it from establishing boldly, freely and regardless of all obstacles, a new form of power ; the council of workmen’s, soldiers’ and | peasants’ deputies, harbinger of the abolition i of every form of authority. Shortly after the Bolsheviki came into power, Lenine defined the new “dictatorship” of the pro-/ letariat as follows: Just as 150,000 lordly landowners under Tsarism dominated the 130,000,000 of Russian peasants, so 200,000 members of the Bolshe- | viki party are imposing their proletarian will on the mass, but this time in the interest of the latter. In order to understand thoroughly the extent and precise grounds of Lenine’s repudiation of democracy, let us quote his denunciation of the riyal faction of the social democratic or working- men’s party, namely, the Mensheviki: In its class composition this party is not socialist at all. It does not represent the toil- ing masses. It represents fairly prosperous peasahts and workingmen, petty traders, many small and some even fairly large capi- talists, and a certain number of real but gulli- * ble proletarians who have been caught in the bourgeois net. We are progressing into the Lenine psychology. Even “a fairly prosperous” workingman is not a “proletarian.” In @ political catechism prepared in the summer of 1917, Lenine asks the question, Is it necessary\ to convoke the constituent assembly and answers, * “Yes, and as soon as possible.” This demonstrates that the Bolsheviki did not dare to oppose the idea of @ democratic constituent assembly and did not intend to oppose it if they could gain control of it.. It was only because they found the overwhelm- ing majority of the peasants and a large part of the working people against them that they dis- pérsed the constituent assembly and’ established the “soviet” doctrine. | What this doctrine is we may see frorh an examination of thé soviet ‘con- stitution adopted at ‘the fifth pan-Russian con- of soviets. In the preamble, the soviets state that they propose: “‘to put an end to every ill that oppresses pparag The séviets necessarily. proceed to policy to carry such a program in- 4 “legge igri | ever and wherever such a war promises success__. \is explained by the fact that Wilson addressed the} re the cat is out of the bag. “Not even “‘the| and good whiskey !}’ “How ‘sharper than a. ser- vaguely defined class of. “the poorest peasantry” is trusted to support the:dictatorship of the city working classes, which in Russia do not represent more than 10 or 12:per cent of the population.’ | Furthermore, a, very ‘large proportion of this} working class, as we shall show below is anti- Bolshevik. The utter impossibility of defining the “poorcs peasantry” leads the soviet congress to adopt an- other anti-democratic.expedient for preventing the Russian people from controlling Russia—for disfranchising the.peasantry representing 84 per cent of the population. This expedient is very simple. Each Bolshevik workingman (the non- 20 | below) is given the same vote as five peasants; | The following is article one of ‘section eight:of |the soviet constitution: The pan-Russian congress of soviets con- sists of representatives of the urban. soviets (one delegate for each 25,000 votes) and rep- resentatives of the government congresses (one delegate for each 125,000 voters). No discussion. of the soviet program will be! complete without stating its position on interna tional affairs. The soviet proposes a world-wide var against all non-soviet governments, when- and the wars they have actually waged show what they will do if they get the chance. The New Year resolution is: your promise to ‘our best friend—yourself. Women, women everywhere! And nobody ior the Prince of Wales to marry. Yanks aren’t ‘finding Germany as thrilling 2, place of residence as they. expected. “Music Hath Charms—” Perhaps ’twould be} well to send Paderewski against the Bolsheviki.
