Comrades, Since the German revolution of the year 1923, the fractional activity of the Right, openly opportunist, | elements in the Communist Party | of Germany has never completely ceased. This refers quite particu. larly to the adherents of Brandler, who continue to insist on their own special line of activity, a policy which finds constant expression in the capitulatory attitude of Brand-| ler in relation to the bourgeoisie as also in the tendency to form a bloc with the social democrats. The Right wing has not given up all hope of one day finding itself at the head of the Party and changing its pol- icy. Their fractional policy in this} direction has at times lessened and at times flared up again. The fifth plenary session of the E. C. C. I, established in its resolu- tion on the fractional activity of Brandler, Radek, and Thalheimer, “that there is an organized frac- tion in the C. P. G., which com- pportunist tendencies, the E. C. C.| As the latest occurrences in the | C. P. G. have shown, Brandler and |Thalheimer have proved politically | incorrigible.

In the| jsame month, Brandler and Thal- heimer commenced organizing frac- ional assemblies in Berlin, Chem-| |nitz, Offenbach, and other places and) prises several inner-party groups besides one group of members of the C.

In its resolution of October 6th, the presidium of the Comintern pointed out that the Right wing in- tended “to exploit the Wittorf incident in their own interest in opposition to | Comrade Thalmann as an eminent | representative of the directives of the VI. World Congress, in which connection they were stirving to bring about an alteration in the Party membership and thus to pre- vent the realization in the C. P. G. of the political direction ac- | cepted by the VI. Congress of the Communist International. (A dras- tice example of such inadmissible fractional activity was afforded by the speech of Comrade Hausen, representing the Right, and partly also by that of Comrade Gerhart at the plenum of the C. C. on Sep- tember 26th.)” The resolution passed on October 6th by the presidium of the E. C. Cc. I. was answered by the Right with the most violent attacks. In their opinion, this resolution threat- ens not only the German Party but the entire Comintern with destruc- tion. (See the communication sign- ed by Thalheimer, Walcher, Schrein- er, Max Kohler, Paul Frohlich, and August Enderle.) Other writings of the Right wing speak of the reso- lution of the E. C. C. I. presidium in exactly the same strain. The Right wing refused to recognize this reso- lution and demanded of the E. C. C. 1, the immediate cancellation thereof (Communication of Thalheimer and pline in its proceedings, The political platform of this frac- tion is, so Hausen declares, set forth in the programme of Brandler and coneretized by articles in the first issue of the periodical “Against the Current,” in the “Volksrecht,” and in the fractional documents of the |Right fraction. Brandler’s programme of action is a typical product of Menshevist mentality. Under the flag of the fight of the proletariat for power and by the hypocritical slogan of “control of production at the pres- ent moment,” it attempts to smug- gle in the social democratic princi- ple of “economic democracy.” As is well known, the slogan of control of production at the present moment, at a time when there is no acute revolutionary situation and when the bourgeois State authority continues to obtain, was repudiated by the VI as being an expression of deviations to the Right. ‘ In a pronouncedly opportunistic way, the Right fraction misrepre- sents the revolutionary transition- slogans of the period which is char- acterized by an immediately revo- lutionary situation. The revolution- ary slogan of “control of produc- tion” is interpreted in an opportun- istic sense and converted into the reformist principle of “economic democracy.” The Right fraction be- lieves that this slogan can be real- ized as a “stage” on the way to pro- letarian dictatorship, without the overthrow of capitalist power, with- out the arming of the proletariat.

The Right fraction thus wages the fight against the tactics as a revolutionary method for the mobilization and organization of the masses. In place of the ap- of the trade-union bureaucrats from their posts, it puts an appeal to \the reformist leaders are able to \lead the workers in their fight |against the bourgeoisie.

In the fraction- jal document of November 27th (the “Declaration on the Resolutions of \the VI Congress,” signed by Hausen, | Steffen, and others), we find the |following assertion: | “The Congress has chosen the | path of an ultra-Left liquidation of the correct Communist direc- tives.” Hausen, Steffen, and their adher- jents conclude their declaration in jthe following terms: “The undersigned consequently | decline such resolutions of the VI | World Congress as justify and ; Support the incorrect ultra-Left direction.” The natural inference which the members of the Right fraction draw |fromi the fundamental theses of their political platform lies in a non-recog- inition of the resolutions of the IV. | Congress of the R.

Not only does the slogan of |control of production in the absence | lof any immediate revolutionary sit- uation and under a continuation of | capitalist rule actually lead to the | social democratic principle of eco- j nomic democracy; the same may be said of all the declarations of the political platforms of the Right in regard to the separation of the or- ized ones, the split in the Trade Unions, ete., as the alleged result of | the resolutions of the IV.
