THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MO: NDAY,, JULY 16, 1928 Page Th res NEW DRAFT PROGRAM VI. The Strategy and Tactics of the Communist International. (The Road to the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.) DOCUMENT ANALYZES VARIOUS — COUNTER REVOLUTIONARY FORCES OPERATING IN LABOR MOVEMENT Emphasizes the Need of Struggle Against Imperialist War Reaffirms That Communism Can Be Achieved | Only By Revolution The. Programme Commission of the Executive Committee of the Communist International is publishing a DRAFT PROGRAM. The Commission:thinks it its duty to declare that while the text of this draft is of course based on the same fundamental principles as those upon which the draft programme provisionally passed by the Fifth Congress of the Communist International was based, never- theless, it differs very considerably from that draft. The Program Commission felt that in view of the great changes that have taken place in many important spheres of international life and particularly in the revolutionary movement since the Fifth Congress, it could not confine itself to making merely editorial changes in the original draft. A change has taken place in the form of the general crisis of capitalism; a change has taken place in the relationships between | various groups of powers. Great events have taken place, like the great revolution in China, which cance of the agrarian-peasant question. made in building up socialism in publics. The struggle between t. |“above class” interpretation of so- cialism, Sun Yat-Senism has become transformed into a conservative force which retards the development |of the revolution. % Tendencies like Ghandhism in In- dia which are thoroughly saturated with religious notions, advocate pas- sivity, repudiate the class struggle and in the process of development of the revolution 4 becoming trans- formed into an openly reactionary |force, must be resolutely combated | by Communism. | Communism differs from all these tendencies, and particularly from social democracy, in that, in com- | plete harmony with the doctrines of Marx and Engels, it carries on |a theoretical and practical ‘struggle |for the dictatorship of the prole- tariat. The success of the struggle of the OF THE COMMU restricting the activities of the party to these every-day needs and strug- gles are alike impermissible. The task of the party is—starting out from thesa needs, to lead the work- ing class into the revolutionary struggle for power. crossing over because of the develop- ment of the mass proletarian and peasant movements, the Communist Party must steer a course for the hegemony of the proletariat, and for the dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry, which will ultima grow into the dictatorship of working class. In such countries, the Communist Party must concen- trate their efforts mainly upon creating broad mass proletarian or- ganizations (trade unions) and revo- lutionary peasant unions, and upon drawing up demands and directly affecting the working class. When the revolutionary tide is flowing, when the dominant classes are disorganized, the masses are in a state of revolutionary ferment, the intermediary strata are inclining to- wards the proletariat and the masses are prepared for action and for sacrifice, the task of the party ly |for the independence of colonies from : the the imperialist states.
