THE “PRAVDA” ON THE ILLEGAL TROTSKYIST ORGANIZATIO DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 (Leading Editorial of the “Pravda” on January 24, 1929.) The necessity of clearly discussing the question of the Trotskyist il- legal organizations is dictated by the recent activity of the Trotsky- ists, which compels the Party and the Soviet Power to adopt an atti. tude to the Trotskyists differing in principle from that maintained be- fore the Fifteenth Party Congress. The open appearance of the Trot- skyists on the streets on 7th of No- vember 1927 was that decisive step which demonstrated that the Trot- skyist organization had broken not only with the Party but also with the Soviet regime. This action of the Trotskyists was preceded by a whole number of acts hostile to the Party and the Soviets: the seizure by force of a hall in the Moscow Technical High School for the pur- pose of a Trotskyist meeting, or- ganization of an illegal printing works, etc. Nevertheless up to the Fifteenth Party Congress the Party still adopted towards the Trotskyist or-| course of the year 1928 the Trot- | |ganizations measures which showed its desire to appeal to the better | Sense of the Trotskyists, to get them to perceive their errors, and to in- duce them to return to the way of |the Party. For several years after |the discussion in 1923 the Party patiently pursued this line,—the line lof a mainly ideological struggle. |Even at the Fifteenth Party Con- gress the measures adopted against the Trotskyist organization were still of this same character, regard- less of the fact that the Trotskyists \“had passed from differences of |opinion of a tactical character to differences of opinion of a program- matic character, to revise the Leninist standpoint and went over to the position of Men- | shevism.” (Resolution of the Fif- |teenth Party Congress.) skyists completed their transforma-| against the Central Committee of |campaign for collective agreements | everywhere and, on the other hand,! tion from an illegal anti-Party| the Soviet Union had its logic, and) and for the preparation of his ca-| to incite the already hostile elements group into an illegal anti-Soviet or- ganization. This is what constitutes the new factor, which in the year | 1928 caused the organs of the Sov- | iet Power to adopt repressive meas- |ures against the functionaries of | this illegal organization. The organs of the proletarian dictatorship can- not permit the existence of an anti- | Soviet, illegal organization in the | land of the proletarian dictatorship, | which organization, even if it is numerically small, nevertheless pos- sesses its own printing works, has |its own committee and endeavors to | Power and to prepare its supporters for a civil war against the organs of the proletarian dictatorship. For that is how far the Trotskyists have |this logic led the Trotskyists into | the anti-Soviet camp. Trotsky start- led by recommending his followers, |in the year 1928, to attack the lead- ership of the Communist Party of |the Soviet Union without adopting |a hostile attitude to the Soviet | Union. But owing to ths logic of |the struggle Trotsky, in attacking | the leadership of the Communist | Party of the Soviet Union, the lead- ing iorces of the proletarian cicta- |torship, inevitably also directed his | attacks against the Soviet Union, j against the Soviet Power in gen- in that they sought | organize strikes against the Soviet | eral.

This letter from Trotsky was pub- lished not only in the organ of the renegade Maslov but in whiteguard- ist organs such as “Rul” and others. | | Other Trotskyists openly state that |in preparing this civil war they must |not hesitate to execute any instr tions, whether in writing or not. The calumnies against the Red Army and its leaders, which are spread by the Trotskyists in the illegal and renegade press and by means of this press also in the whiteguardist news- |papers abroad, prove that the Trot- | skyists do not shrink at inciting the ‘leaders of the social democracy and | the international bourgeoisie against the Soviet State. In these docu- ments, the Red Army and its lead- come, who at one time were a frac-| tions of October 21, 1928, Trotsky | ers are represented as being an army The year which has elapsed since tion in the Party and are now an| wrote calumnious anti-Soviet decla- the Fifteenth Party Congress proved | illegal, anti-Soviet organization.

Lenin, on the occasion of the Kronstadt in- surrection, warned the Tenth Party Congress that even “White-guard- ists endeavor and know how to pose as Communists and to appear “more Left” than the Communists, solely in order to weaken and overthrow the proletarian revolution in Rus- sia.” Lenin gave us an example “how the Mensheviki made use of the differences of opinion within the Communist Party of the Soviet Un- ion in order to support and to drive forward the Kronstadt insurgents, these social revolutionaries and white guardists, and, in the event of the insurrection proving a fail- ure, to act as if they were adher- ents of the Soviet Power with cer- | tain improvements.” The illegal or- has rage Tree completely proved that it is a mask- ed organization which is gathering around it all the elements hostile to the proletarian dictatorship. The Trotsk: organization is now in fact playing the same role which the Party of the Menshevki played in the Soviet Union in their fight against the Soviet regime. The undermining work of the Trot- skyist organization calls for a ruth- less fight on the part of the organs of the Soviet Power against these anti-Soviet organizations. This i the reason for the measures (ar- rests and banishments) recently adopted by the G. P. U. for the pur- pose of liquidating this anti-Soviet organization. It seems that far from all mem- bers of the Party clearly realize that \there already exists an unbridgea- ble chasm between the former Trot- skyist Opposition within the Com- munist Party of the Soviet Union and the present anti-Soviet, Trot- skyist illegal organization outside of the Communist Party of the So- | viet Union. Therefore that “liberal” = \ N attitude towards the active illegal ; | Trotskyist organization revealed by individual Party members is abso- lutely impermissible. All Party members must take this to heart. It is necessary to makesit clear to the whole country, to the broad strata of the workers and peasants that the Trotskyist, illegal organization is an anti-Soviet organization, an organization hostile to the proleta- rian dictatorship. Those Trotskyists who are main- taining a half-way position should likewise consider this new situation which has arisen as a result of the latest actions of the Trotskyist lead- jers, and the activity of the illegal Trotskyist organizations. They must choose, either to go with the Trot- skyist illegal organizations against the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and against the proletarian |dictatorship in the Soviet Union, or to break completely with the anti- Soviet, illegal Trotsky organization and to refrain from giving it any | support whatever. PARTY PRE-CONVENTION DISCUSSION SE * Article Three. For Application of 6th Congress Decisions to U. S. It has been proven in the dis- cussion that the standpoint of the Majority constitutes a refusal to ap- ply the general analysis and tac- tical line of the Comintern to the United States. This attitude of the Majority is a continuation of its op- ON THE SO-CALL It must be stated at the outset that the minority submitted no such proposition as an apex THEORY. The “theory” angle of it is a fac- tional invention of the Majority to cover up the basic defects of its own position. What is the truth of the matter? For the last fourteen months, the Minority was trying to draw the attention of the Central Committee to the fact that fundamental changes are taking place in the world posi- tion, structure and class relation- ships of America capitalism. The Minority demanded the formulation of a clear revolutionary perspective and the shift of the Party’s tactical orientation to the Left. A more or less complete formula- tion of the Minority standpoint is contained in its document to the VI World Congress (The Right Danger in the American Party). There it says: “Two basic factors determine the | condition of American capitalism in the present period: 1) the ma- turing inner contradictions of American capitalism (dispropor- | tion between the rate of expan- sion of productive capacity and rate of growth of volume of pro- duction, disproportion between the growth of production and con- sumption, unemployment, the con- tradictions of rationalization, capi- tal export, polarization of wealth and poverty, etc.) are beginning to produce qualitative changes in the whole economic system; 2) these inner contradictions are ma- turing in the surroundings of a | declining world capitalism and the | Socialist growth of the U.S.S.R. | which sharpen, intensify and ac- | celerate the development of the contradictions of American capi- talism, hastening the coming of its downfall.” The above statement is essentially eorrect. It takes sharp and definite issue with the point of view of the Majority which sees for U. S. im- perialism a new “Victorian Age” of practically unbroken and undisturbed upward growth. Events prove that the rate of eco- nomic growth is declining, that the instability cf the “prosperity” phases of development is increasing, and that it becomes ever more dif- ficult for American capitalism to ON INNER AND OUT! The discussion has proven beyond doubt that the Majority is making on this question the following errors: a) It considers the growing ag- gressiveness of American imperial- ism in complete separation from the sharpening class relations and strug- gies inside the country. b) It continues to manifest a “lack of proper evaluation of the inner contradictions of American capital- ism.” (From “Right Danger in American Party.”) . e) The Majority fails to realize that whereas in the present epoch of crisis of world capitalism, the in- ternal contradictions of American capitalism find their sharpest ex- pression in the sphere of external economic and political rivalries, yet the basis for an understanding of the perspectives of world capitalism and the world revolution lies in an analysis of the internal contradic- tions of capitalism. d) The Majority does not correctly ON QUESTIONS OF IMMEDIATE The discussion has proven that the Majority still holds to the fol- lowing wrong conceptions on this question: 1—It puts the main emphasis fipon those tendencies which make for the growth of American capital. | ism. -&—It completely underes * * | position to the line of the IX Plenum |of the CI, to the decisions of the IV R.ILL.U. Congress and to the | policies of the Communist Youth In- | ternational. As was already pointed out in my first article on the lessons of the Party discussion, it has also been proven that certain formulations of the Minority are open to criticism. What are they?

It is | not clear. It gives rise, as it has, |to various misinterpretations, It contains, however, a basically cor- rect thought, namely, the increasing difficulties in the path of -growth of U. S. imperialism and the in- evitability of sharp internal and ex- | ternal crises. In fact, this thought lis fully expressed when we take the | COMPLETE formulation as given jin the above document. We quote from the “Right Danger in the) American Party”: “An analysis of the degree of | ripeness of these contradictions will show that American capital- ism is about to reach the apex of growth and that further expansion leads American capitalism ‘to fur- ther and more dratic attacks upon the standards of life of the Amer- ican masses and to an attempt at an armed redivision of the world market and spheres of imperial- | ist domination, both of which only further intensify these contradic- tions leading to the downfall of American imperialism.” Further expansion in the present | third period becomes ever more dif- | ficult due to the sharpening imperi- | alist rivalries, contraction of mark- lets, decreasing buying power of the| | masses, etc. But American imperi-| alism must strive to expand in or- der to maintain its world position.

The substantially correct position |of the Minority on this question is given in the above quotation from its document (Right Danger, etc.) which states that “Two basic fac- |tors determine the condition of | American capitalism in the present period”: 1,—The maturing inner contradic- | tions. 2.—The fact that these inner con- tradictions are maturing in the sur- | roundings of a declining world capi- talism and the socialist growth of the U.S.S.R. This gives the starting point for the analysis (the inner contradic- tions) and the relationships of these jinner contradictions to the general framework of world capitalism and the world situation (the outer con- tradictions).

For instance: “the present depression, must in- evitably become the forerunner of a deep-going crisis”. . .(Right Dangers, etc.) | The expression “deep-going crisis” lends itself easily to the interpre- tation of “final” crisis, “basic” crisis, | which, of course, is erroneous. Such | misapprehensions have arisen, de- spite the fact that the complete sen- tence clearly states that American imperialism may succeed (as it did) in postponing the severe crisis. We | quote: “the present depression (End of 1927—Beginning 1928) must in- evitably become the forerunner of a deep-going crisis, even though American capitalism may succeed in postponing its coming with the help of the reserve powers which it still enjoys.” (Our emphasis.) However, the whole stress of the argument is so much the other way, that the formulation becomes inade- | quate. It suffers from the fact that it does not take sufficiently into ac- count the factors in the immediate | Some of the expressions of the) ~ Lessons of the Party Discuss By ALEX BITTELMAN. trends which retard the | out of the economic crisis. | The Minority has proven that: 1,—The present economic situation | |cannot be fully understood, and a| correct perspective from the imme-! {diate trends cannot be formulated, | | as the Majority is trying to do, with- | | cut properly correlating the upward | swing in production of steel, auto- | | mobiles, agricultural implements, | letc., with the crisis in coal, textile, | agriculture, shipping, credit infla-| ‘tion, ete., and without properly cor- | |relating these immediate trends) | (upward and downward) with the| | basic trends in American and world | ! capitalism. 2.—On the basis of such correla- | | tion (uneven development internally and sharpening rivalries externally), | we analyze the present trends not as |a beginning of a new cycle of pros- perity but as the conclusion of the | previous cycle and the maturing of the next cyclical economic crisis whose outbreak was only tempor- arily delayed. Furthermore, “the very factors which have contributed to postpone the sharp outbreak of an economic | crisis will considerably worsen the consequences of the crisis when it comes.” (From Minority Thesis to CEC Plenum.) The position of the Majority on the question of radicalization was proven to be untenable. So much so, that the Majority felt compelled to retreat somewhat (admitting dissat- isfaction among the workers in the “sick” industries), but without alter- ing its position fundamentally. The Minority has proven that we are now witnessing the beginning of @ process of general radicalization |of the broad masses of the working class and the toflers in general.
