Of course we are not discuss- ing Montenegro or n Bulgaria, but our,country, the U. R. We are discussing a country in which imperi- alism existed and developed, in which there is a certain minimum of a pro- letariat, in which there is a party which leads the proletariat. Hence, the question is: is the victory of so- cialism possible in the U. 8. S. R.? Is it possible to construct socialism in the U. S. S. R., on the bas’ internal forces of our country, on the basis of the possihilities at the com- mand of the proletariat of the U. § S$. R.2 But what meant by con- structing sociali if this term be formulated in concrete class lan- guage? To construct socialism in the U.S. SLR is to overcome our Soviet bourgeoisie, in the course of the struggle by our own forces. Con- sequently the question amounts to this: is the prole of the U. S. S. R. capable ning its own Soyiet bourgec ce, when we ask: is it possibie nstruct so- cialism in the UL we mean: is the proleta of the U, S. S.R. capable, by its own efforts, of over- coming the bourgeoisie of the U. S, 8S. R. This ist y manner in which the question presented in solving the problem of the construc- ie? of the} - on Socialist Construction down the political basis for the ad-)lay down the economic basis of 50-| vance: towards: social: our own forces nomic basis of socialism? m. 2c the basis of socialism? ness. No, it is not. This is a petty bourgeois idea of the economic con- tent of socialism. To lay down the economic basis of socialism means to dustry into one economic whole; to subordinate agriculture to the guid- ance of socialist industry; to estab- lish relations between town and coun- try on the basis of a direct exchange of the products of agriculture with the pros of industry; to close and abo classes arise and primarily capital, and in the last resort to create such conditions of production and distribu- tion as will lead directly to the aboli- tion of classes. Lenin said the following in this connection when we introduced NEP, and when the question of the con- struction of the socialist foundation us in all its scope. “The substitution of requisitions by a tax signifies in principle: the tran- sition. from ‘war Communism’ to a proper socialist foundation, Not re- quisitions nor the tax, but the ex- change of the products of large scale (socialized) industry forthe produce of peasant agriculture represents the economic content of socialism, repre- sents its basis.” Lenin, Collected supplementary) Works, Vol. IV‘, p. > combine agriculture with ‘socialist in-! ish the channels through which! | of our national economy confronted] t s in a capitalist ertvironment? The party replied to this question tion replies to this question in the af- firmative, For the share of the so- | cialist sector of our economy ‘is in-| creasing year by year, at the expense of the private capital sector both in the sphere of production and in the sphere of circulation; the role of pri- vate capital in proportion to the role of the socialist elements of our eco- nomy is declining from year to year. How does the opposition reply to this question? The opposition replies to this ques- tion in the negative. It follows then thatthe victory of socialism in our country is possible; that the possibility of constructing the economic basis of socialism may be regarded as guaranteed. Does this mean that such a victory may be re- garded as complete victory, as the final victory guaranteeing the coun- try which is constructing socialism against all external dangers, against |the danger of imperialist intervention and the danger of restoration con- nected with it? No it does not. While the question of constructing so- cialism in the U. S. S.
