At Manifesto of the Central Executive Committee of the Workers (Com- munist) Party on the eighth anniversary of the. establishment of the workers’ and peasants’ government of Russia. oS ae * * # @ 4 E'skT years ago, on November 7, 1917, the workers and peasants of Russia threw their exploiters from their backs. They formed a Soviet government and established the workers’ rule in Russia. For eight years the workers and peasants of Russia have defended their government and their right to abolish the exploitation and oppres- sion of the capitalists. They have fought to este »lish a new social order in which the product of their labor would be use to give them a, higher standard of life, in place of enriching a few capitaiists and landowners. © hs maintain their workers’ and peasants’ government.they were obliged to fight armies of the czarist generals who so to re-establish the rule of robbery and autocracy in Russia.’ They were forced to fient the imperialist capitalist governments—Ergland, France, the United “ae whi to-destre thoi governor becauce je anpitaite fared effect of the example of workers’ rule in Russia upon the workers ‘ capitalists were exploitiig at home.

They were obliged to overcome famine and hunger which followed the destruction wrought by counter-revolution and their ‘imperialist enemies. ey rea Against all these enemies the Soviet government of the workers and peasants has triumphed. It has maintained the rule of the workers and peasants in Russia and is creating a social order which is putting to an end the oppression and exploitation; of the workers by capitalists, * * * ‘ Achievements of the Workers’ Republic youite in all capitalist Europe the standard of life of the Workers has been reduced to below what it was in 1914, before the war began, in Soviet Russia, the standard of life of the workers has been improved over what it was in 1914. Capitalist society has made worse the Jot of the workers; the Communist government has against great obstacles im- proved their lot. The workers and péasants of Russia are no longer ruled by agents of the capitalists, who use the government to fight the workers. Injonotians are not used to force workers into submission when they go on strike and enemies of the workers. The courts are not used to oppress the workers; the courts ag Maes the right of the workers. The police and soldiers are not used to force workers into submission when they go on strike and fight the capitalists; they are used to protect the workers. \ . The capitalist employer no longer rules in Russian industry. There no boss who hires and fires the workers at will. The Russian indust unions have by lay) the right to represent the workers in the industri They make. the agi Jements in regard to scales of wages and the worke right to work. The workers’ shop committees represent the workers in the management. The workers of Rusgia are no longer the slaves of the capitalists; they have won their right to full participation in every phase of the work of production. The Soviet government protects the workers against injury in indus- try, it protects them against unemployment; it is creating eduidetional op- EF ‘ now only, a bitter memory.” ORGANIZE THE REVOLUTION! | EMniem is the organizing of revolution, Bolshevism , 4s the unlimited devotion of the revolutionary advance ‘ guard. of the proletariat, combined with unwearied, tena- cious work for the preparation of the revolution—Mani- festo of the Communist International.

The capitalists know that the ess of the Russian workers and peas- ants in building a new social o! means the death-knell of capitalism. The capitalists know that the kers of the capitalist countries will follow in the footsteps of the wi rs and peasants of Russia; that they will overthrow their capitalist r and.set to work to create better con- Ne 4 ditions of life for the Se ES oe Union t ressed peoples of ‘the supporters in their struggles for freedom. r'The people of China, the peo- ple of India, the people of Africa, the people of Morocco are inspired by the triumph of the Soviet Union to take up the struggle against the im- perialist capitalist countries which are robbing them. . The labor unions of the Soviet Union have taken the initiative in uniting the trade unions of the world against capitalism. They are seek- ing to draw together in oné great international organization all the or- ganizations of labor. . The capitalists see in this movement for trade union unity a new danger and threat against capitalism. Because the Soviet Union is the:inspiration of all oppressed peoples in the struggle against imperialism, because the labor unions of the Soviet Union are creating a mighty weapon against capitalism in trade union unity, because of the glorious example of a workers’ government creating a better life for the workers and peasants which exists in the Soviet Union, international capitalism is again moving to destroy the achievements of the workers and peasants of Russia. * * “4 The New Attack on the Soviet Union THe negotiations now under way between Great Britain, France and Germany for the creation of a “security pact” is an effort to clear the way for an attack upon the Soviet Union. What Great Britain, France and Germany want is*the security of capitalism, which can only be gained by destroying the Soviet Union. The debt negotiations of the United States government are an effort to settle the European problems in order to pave the way for the struggle against the Soviet Union. Through the Dawes’ plan in Germany and through debt settlements, new loans and investments, the American capi- talists are becoming the exploiters of the workers all over the world. The American capitalists cannot take payment of their profits and interests in goods; they can only secure payment through greater investment. Thus the interests of the American capitalists in other countries grows. _American capitalism is seeking'to protect its billions of investments against the danger of revolt of the oppressed peoples and the exploited workers, which the existence of the-Soviet Union inspires, and it therefore follows the policy of the most irreconcilable enemy of the Soviet Union. It refused to recognize the Soviet Union. It misses no opportunity to make an attack upon the Soviet Union. The exclusion of the Communist member of the British parliament from of Soviet Rule!

Ze (l AY 7 the United States, Saklatvala, and the threat of new persecutions against Communists coupled therewith, is a sign of a coming attack upon the Soviet Union. * @ Attack Upon the Soviet Haier Attack Upon all Workers TS attack upon the Soviet Union is an attack upon all workers. If the imperialist capitalist powers can destroy the-Soviet Union, it will mean a wave of reaction and effort to destroy the labor movement the world over. The workers of the United States will find that with the danger of the Soviet Union removed the capitalists will launch an even greater attack than that through which they drove down wages, lengthened hours, and destroy sd many unions in the open shop'drive of 1921-1922. Capitalism, freed from the obstacles of the. Soviet Union in its ex- ploitation and oppression of, ¢6lonial.peoples, will drive unchecked into new imperialist struggles andya new imperialist world war. __ American:capitalism: willbe free to use its investments in European ‘dusts j as a means of forcing touieths “faves of the Ametcan workers sndto cing upon them the low standard of life which it is compelling the slavés of the Dawes’ plan in Germany to, accept. * = * * Fight for the Soviet Union and the:Workers’ Interests TiigAmerican workers must unite with the workers of other countries for defense of the Soviet Union and the workers’ interests. The in- terests.of the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union are the interests of theyworkers of every country. They are fighting against the same capitalist‘enemy. Thesame capitalist enemies which seek to destroy the Soviet Union are seeking to further oppress and exploit the workers of the United States. , Every workers’ organization must place itself on record for the de- fense of the Soviet Union. In every city the trade unions, the co-opera- tives, the workers’ fraternal and political organizations. should send dele- gates to'a’conference to unite for defense of the Soviet Union and to fight for the workers’ interests. Form a united front of labor for defense of the Soviet Union and the workers’ interests.
