MARX AND ENGELS ON| ROLE OF THE STATE Writings Refute “Socialist” People’ s Government” Classless | NDITOR’S NOTE—The 50th an Riversary of the death of Karl Marx, which is celebrated this month, should stimulate workers to tread more of the writings of the great revolutionary leaders of the working class. The following selec- tions from the writings of Marx and Engels on the role of the state are of particular importance at a time when the government of the United States has been shown se clearly to be a Gommittee of the bankers and bosses. The selections are also valuable in showing the @ar stand of Marx and Engels @geinst the treacherous ideas Broadcast by “Socialist” misleaders about « “people’s state” that stands outside the class struggle. “The State did not exist from all eternity. There have been societies without it, that had no idea of any state or public power. At a certain stage of economic development, which was of ne’ sity accompanied by a division society into classes, thi the inevitable result of vision.” (Engels in Family”) such di- “The Origin of the “The state is the result of the desire to keep down class conflicts.

HITLER PRESS FILLED WITH COLUMNS ANTI-SOVIET SLANDERS AND FORGERIES Soviet Ambassador Protests Pro Provo-ative rative Mass Raids on Worker: By N. BUCHWALD European Correspondent of the Daily Worker MOSCOW, March 10.—Information has been received from Berlin that the Soviet Ambassador, Comrade Hintschuk, in Germany, presented a strong protest to Minister of Foreign Affairs Von Neurath against the the attacks on the Soviet Union con- tained in the speech of the cut- throat chancellor, Hitler, in his harangue at the Sports Palace on March 2. Pravda Exposes Calumny ‘Today the official organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Pravda, writes: “Among the ‘tdeological’ methods of influencing electors used by the fascists, besides unbridled terror, a considerable space is occupied by a wild anti-Soviet campaign. The staff organ of the National Socialists (fascists), ‘Volk- ischer Beobachter,’ published in a special edition a whole section full of anti-Soviet nastiness, filling six full columns under the title: ‘Better in jail in Germany than free in Russia.’ Another fascist rag, the ‘Angriff,’ on March 1 published ‘information’ he The Communists Are the Inheritors of the Communist Manifesto Socialist Leader Robs Manifesto of Its Revolutionary Content By SIDNEY BLOOMFIELD heirs of Marxism are Communist Parti united revolutionary struggle against talism, in the world party of munism—the Communist Int tional, which is based upon teachings of Marx and Lenin. Lenin was the faithful disciple of Marx and further developed Marx- ism in the epoch of and proletarian revolution: The first clarion call to organize the workers of the world was the Manifesto of The Communist Party, or what is usually referred to as the Communist Manifesto, which was drawn up by Katl Marx in col- laboration with his life-long com- rade and co-worker Frederich Eng- els, who at the 2d Congress of the Communist League, held in London in November 1847, “were commis- sioned to prepare for publication a complete theoretical and practical party Programme.” ‘The Manifesto is the most widely “the most international production of all socialist literature, the pi. | the common platform acknowledged by millions of workingmen from Siberia to California.” ENGELS GIVES CLEAR EXPLANATION OF NAME ‘The Socialist parties have never | called this invaluable classic by its correct name as its appears on the new editzen, specially printed for the 50th Anniversary by Interna- tional Publishers. The reason why the parties of the Second (Social- ist) International have pushed the name, “Manifesto of The Commu- nist Party” into the background in the past, and continue today to distort it beyond recognition, the reason why the parties of the Second International have adopted in its place Kautsky’s “Erfut Program” of reformism, is antici- pated by Engels, in his preface, where he writes: “Yet, when it was writien, we could not have called it a Soci- alist Manifesto. By Socialists, in 1847, were understood, on the one hand, the adherents of the vari- ous Utopian systems ... on the other hand, the most multifari- ous social quacks, who, by all manner of tinkering, professed to redress, without any danger to capital and profit, all sorts of social grievances . . . Whatever portion of the working class has become .wnvinced of . . . the necess'/’ of 2 total social change, calleg ‘itself Communist” , . . “Thus in 1847, Social'sm was @ middle class movement, Commu- nism a working class movement, Socialism was, on the continent at least, ‘respectable’; Communism was the very opposite. And as our notion, from the very begin- ning, was that the emancipat‘on of the working class must be the act of the working class itself, there could be no doubt as to which of the two names we must take. Moreover, we have, ever oe been far from repudiating i.” In the face of the above clear words from Engels, James Oneal, writing under the pseudonym of “Autolycus”, in his column in a recent issue of the New Leader, the weekly paper of the Socialist Party, tries to justify the treach- ery of the Socialist Party and to prove that the Communists are all wrong. Oneal tries to prove his bad case by quoting part of the preface to the Manifesto where Engels states that “in view of the gigantic strides of modern industry since 1848, and of the accompany- ing improved and extended organi- zation of the working class”... etc, . . “this programme has in some detail become antiquated.” | “GENERAL PRINCIPLES AS CORRECT AS EVER” Oneal can work such miracies only by distortion and misinterpret~ ing the entire paragraph out of which he calis his few lines to “prove” his bad case. When one reads the first part of the very phy one leary toes in | the | imperialism | Engels states: “however much the state of things have altered during the last 25 years, the general prin- | | | | are, on the whole, as correct today | as ever. Here and there some de- | | | tail might be improved. The prac- tical application of the principles will depend, as the Manifesto it- | self states, everywhere and at all tor the time being existing, and, for that reason, no special stress is laid on the revolutionary meas- ures proposed at the end of Sec- tion II” From Engels’ explanation, we cannot conclude that revolutionary principles and measures should be substituted by social-reformist pro- grams and tactics, as Oneal would like to have us believe. DISTORTIONS MASKED AS “EVOLUTION” ‘To prave our statement, we quote Oneal saying in the same article that, “Bebel, Liebknecht, (Karl Liebknecht’s father), Mehring, Kautsky and others contributed to the evolution of Marxism in the same way. Here and there I find some of these writers using such phrases as, ‘Marx overlooked,’ “Marx did not appreciate the signi- ficance of,’ or ‘Marx somewhat ex- aggerated,’ These statements bear | the impress of an evolving, not a static, Marxism.” Thus we see how Marxism “evolves” and becomes “modern.” It does so by showing that Marx “overlooked,” “exaggerated,” did not appreciate the significance of,” ete. In other words, for Marxism to be modern these social-fascist hacks do not want to see how Lenin applied and developed Marxism to the present epoch of Imperialism and Proletarian Revolution as is times, on the historical conditions | ciples laid down in this Manifesto | | verified by the facts of life and struggle today. These social-fascist inisleaders of honest Socialist work~ ers and intellectuals, go to the Second International of Bernstein and Kautsky, to those who system- atically revised Marxism. Oneal admits the revisionism, which is 8 distortion of Marxism, when continuing in the same ar- ticle he emphasizes by underscor- ing, that “a quotation may be apt but it is not necessarily apt be- cause Marx is the author. lf it is apt it can only be so if it ac- cords with our knowledge.” What is this statement if not a Subtle repudiation of Marx? FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE MANIFESTO What was the further develop- ment of the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels? We find the answer in the same introduction which is distorted for social-fascist interests by Oneal. In the same paragraph from which Oneal quoted, Engels writes that, “in view of the practical ex- perience gained, first in the Feb- ru.ty revolution (the French Rev- oluvion of February 24, 1848, 8.B.), and then, still more, in the Paris Commune, where the proletariat for the first time held political power for two whole months, this programme has in some details be- come antiquated.” The basis for further devoloping the Manifesto therefore are the practical experiences from the Feb- tuary Revolution and “still more, in the Paris Commune, where the Protetariat for the first t'me held political power.” From these ob- servations, and in the very same paragraph which Oneal quotes from, Engels concludes with a quotation from, “Civil War in THOUSANDS DEMONSTRATE IN NEW JERSEY Several thousand workers demons- trated on March 4th throughout the state of New Jersey for unemploy- ment insurance and relief. At Newark Rebecca Grecht, Charles White and Samuel D. Levine, Communist can- didates ,for city commissioners, and Lloyd Westlake, Newark organizer of the Unemployed Council, spoke before 600 at Military Park. At Paterson 800 workers demons- trated and made demands for un- employment insurance. Police in Bloomfield and New Brunswick dispersed several hundred workers before the meetings got under way. At Woodbridge Township all work- ers on relief jobs struck against forced labor and came in a body to the demonstration. Unemployed Councils from Iselin, Fords, Wood- bridge and Phoenix marched in a body to Woodbridge township.

The Communist Manifesto, the lessons of the Paris Commune, which was the basis for the ironing out of the Marxian theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat as applied and carried out by Lenin, is embodied in the successful build- ing of Socialism in the Soviet Union. The lessoris of the Paris Commune and the carrying through of the Russian Revolution proved that only by smashing the “ready- made State machinery, only by revolution, in which the working class becomes the ruling class and sets up the Dictatorship of the Proletariat on the ruins of the capitalist state machine, can the working class be victorious.” ‘The treacherous intent on the part of the social-fascists in com- memorating the 50th Anniversary of the death of Marx is seen in this contribution of Oneal in distorting and revising the Communist Mani- festo, the teachings of Marx, for the purpose of heading off the growing struggles of the workers for power. . Only the Communist Parties are the adherents of the revolutionary teachings of Marx. Only the Communist International under the leadership of Comrade Sts%™, is carrying out in practice | the revolutionary teachings of Marx and Lenin. Marx’ and Engels’ statement about the details is made use of by the social-fascists to revise and distort the Communist Manifesto. ‘These “overlooked details” were in the direction of the further de- velopment of Marx and not a re- vision of it. Oneal probably forgets that Marx and Engels reiterate that the Communist Manifesto re- mains: “But then, the Manifesto has become a historical document which we have no longer any right to alter.” The Manifesto ends by hurling the challenge to the capitalist class ... “Let the ruling class tremble at @ Communist Revolution.” And summons the: “Wor! of all countries, Unite!” ‘Today, on the 50th Anniversary of the death of Marx, the Manifesto is still our basic program. The Manifesto of the Communist Party must be placed in the hands of every worker, ‘The Manifesto should be seriously studied and dis- cussed by every worker, and be- cause the special 50th Anuiversary issue sells for five cents, the widest mass sale and distribution bh throat Chancellor s’ Homes Continue {about ‘enormous unemployment | Soviet Russia’ and similar rubbish. Other Provocative Attacks Besides the anti-Soviet campaign in the press, the Hitlerites indulge in other provocative attacks on the Soviet Union.

The school employees refused to open the doors and at- tempted to call the police. However, by the Soviet Ambassador. But even then none of the hoodlums were arrested. Instigated by Fascist Leaders “The whole tone of the anti-Soviet campaign,” says Pravda, “is given by Hitler and Goehring in their election speeches. No wonder the fascist madmen. But the leaders of the Gorgulov party forget one thing, that such talk about Soviets, which allows no impertinence from clowns in power, will not go unanswered. New Outburst of Lies From Berlin, by telephone, comes the news that the fascist organ, “Aneriff,” publishes a “new expos- ure,” claiming an “exceptionally im- portant discovery” in the famous “catacombs” of the Liebknecht House, headquarters of the Communist Party of Germany, which exvoses the Communist Party, including its high- est leaders, an “organization of crim- inals and murderers.” According to “Angriff,” in the Lieb- | Knecht House, where police and fas- cists have already been for several weeks!—there is now “unexpectedly” discovered a photograph showing, among others, Police Officer Anlauf with the portrait of Anlauf circled with a red pencil on the photograph.
