fore tye BEDACHT AND BROWDER START PARTY CLASSES IN MARXISM If you are a Marxist—or want to become a Marxist—you will be inter- ested in the class in Advanced Marxism which the Chicago Local of the Workers Party is conducting this fall. The first session of the class will be held on Sunday, Oct, 12, at the Workers Lyceum, 2733 Hirsch Blvd., at 10:30 a. m. An examination will be given at prospective students who are uncertain of their standing may learn whether * they should join a class in advanced or another in elementary Marxism. The test will consist of twenty-five questions on Marxian theory, and can- didates for the advanced class are expected to be able to answer at least two-thirds of them correctly. Another class, for those who are beginning their studies of Marxism, is to be given under the direction of Earl R. Browder, editor of the Work- ers Monthly. Comrade Browder’s class will be held every Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, at 2633 Hirsch the first session of the class, so that Blvd. The first meeting of the class will be held on October 15. In addition to these courses, Com- rade Manuel Gomez will conduct a class in “Imperialism, the Final Stage of Capitalism,” on Sunday afternoons, beginning October 26, The course in the history of the American Com- munist movement, which will be con- ducted by Comrade James’ P, Can- non, is to begin on November 11. The tuition fee is $1.50 for each course, and 75 cents extra for each additional course. Fire from the Red Volcano (Continued from page 3) stand the purpose of a revolutionary program,—you learn that it is not only a document—as you pursue the history of the Communist movement. All thru the work, Zinoviev pays a certain delicate deference to the once mighty leader of proletarian revolu- tionary theory, Plekhanov. Plek- hanov, once a Bolshevik and for a time a battler at the side of Lenin for the revolutionary Marxian cause against petty-bourgeois opportunism, Plekhanov is remembered tenderly for his earlier services, and for his later desertion he is—explained. War and Revolution. Zinoviey carries his account thru the Japanese war and the clashes with the mensheviki over the ques- tion of the socialist attitude toward that war. Then into the revolution of 1905 and 1906—the “Dress Re- hearsal” thru’ which the Bolsheviks learned so well the parts they were to play in the grand opening of 1917. Altho there is not as much recital of the actual happenings of that tre- mendous time as the thirsty Ameri- can Bolsheviks would like to have Comrade Zinoviev give us, neverthe- less that which is given is put in such a setting as to give it brilliant clarity of meaning. And after all, Zinoviev is writing the history of the party and not of the revolution, if the two can be distinguished. And after the crushing of the 1905 revolution, during the terrible period of reaction, despair and consequent wild aberations, we find again the clash between the steadfast Marxian revolutionists and the petty-bourgeois- minded reformists, taking this time the form of the question .“1847 or 1849,” meaning the question of whether the period ahead was a period of long and peaceful capitalist development or one of a lull be tween revolutionary outbreaks.

And during the depression of revolutionary hope came the pressure for unity which resulted in reuniting with the mensheviki—and further clashes all of which are as tho acted out for the purpose of teaching us of this day what Bolshevism is. The “Liquidators.” There was the rise of the “Liquida- tors”—what a curse the use of this term was to the American party!— but here in the history of the Rus- sian party we learn just what Liqui- dators really were—and that is some- thing different from the thing which was miscaled by that name in Am- erica. But read it from Zinoviev’s pen, not mine. This history does not purport to go into the detail of the world war and the 1917 revolution, but only gives a few sharp, clear pictures of the be- ginnings of .the crystalization of the revolutionary left wing of social, ism, the Zimmerwald conference, the work of Lenin in Switzerland, with which the stage was set for the com- ing of the final revolutionary world- organization, the Communist Interna- tional. The work closes with some exceed- ingly interesting historical documents, and very appropriately with “The Bol- sheviki and the Hegemony of the Proletariat,” by Zinoviev. The first installment of this epoch- marking work will undoubtedly arouse a keen interest among the Workers Party membership, and especially at this time, when, as I say, we have before us the stern job of making this a truly Bolshevik ‘party, to do which we must know what a Bolshevik party is.
