It is a capitalist government and being based on robbery of the workers is a government of rob- bery and murder of the workers. But the socialists are not worried about that. But being so flagrantly corrupt as to steal openly is an aid in opening the eyes of the workers as to the government's class charac- ter, like the “socialist” city govern- ment of Berlin.
