Over Social The Victory of Marxism-Leninism Democracy Formerly, before the victory of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the | social democrats were still ‘able to | parade under the banner of Marxism, | without openly denying ithe dictator- ship of the proletariat, without how- ever doing the least thing to bring this idea nearer to realization. For such an attitude on the part of so- cial democracy did not mean any threat to capitalism. Today, after the victory of the dic- tatorship of the proletariat, after everybody has seen with his own eyes whither Marxism leads and what its victory may mean, the social demo- cracy can no longer flirt with the idea of the dictatorship of the pro- letariat without creating a certain danger to capitalism. After it had In the First Year of Seaedaa 5-Year Plan New Industrial Giants! Base for Socialism By B. BORISSOV. 4 igo toilers of the U.S.S.R., under the leadership of the Soviet government and the Party have set themselves a colos~ sal task in launching the Second Five-Year Plan. The First Five-Year Plan laid the base for Socialism through the con- struction of new industrial giants and the collectivization of agricul- ture: The Second Five-Year Plan aims at mastering the new enter- prises, without, however, abandon- ing new construction; it aims at strengthening organizationally the agricultural units and at erecting, on the basis of this powerful tech- nique, the full structure of social- ism—the classless society. To what éxetent have the Bol- sheviks carried out the Plan dur- ing the nine months of this year? Will the Second Five-Year Plan succeed? A unique event, which took place on October 14, 1933, in the Soviet Union, and which is inconceivable under capitalism, gives a partial answer to the question. This was a “radio roll call” over the broad- casting system of the Soviet Union, of some of the foremost industrial plants, the Stalin Automobile Plant, the Kharkoff tractor BF ar th Ural-Mach (heavy machinery), the Lok-Batan Oil Wells, ie ee giant of electri- justry. This “roll call” was a check-u on the fulfillment of the Plan wi npesial emphasis on the mastery of new technique. T= entire country was listening in as, one by one, répresenta: tives of these plants took their place before the microphone and reported. Workers in about 40 in~ dustrial cities listened to the re- ports. The reports were thrilling. Moscow speaks. Comrade Smirnov, manager of one of the’ ents of the Stalin Tractor is at the microphone. Proudly he re- ports that the quality of the Soviet automobile is on par with that of America, France and Italy, and that the difference in costs was reduced KE only 155 te ee = mirnoy significantly, re have created not only automobiles but new men, new professions, and new specialists unknown in old Russia- In the past two years 3,000 of our workers have completed courses, and at present 4,000 are studying.

In eight months of this year they have saved the plant 2,- 000,000 rubles!” ‘ _ And parallel with this goes the improvement in living conditions, the building of modern houses for jigs heed a ow grad is speaking.

And now it is the foremost giant of electro-machine construc- tion, a plant producing the largest and most complicated generators and aggregates in the world. Eighty- one million rubles’ worth of ma- chinery for the country in 1932,— four times as much as in 1929!” A tremendous achievement.! And Comrade Semikov shows the guid- ing and directing force behind this achievement—the All Union Com- munist Party headed by Comrade Stalin. He continues: “While the program of the first six months and and of July was fulfilled 100 per cent, August indicated 107.6 per cent, and the September plan was carried out 115.1 per cent. The labor productivity has been raised 10 per cent above the paln. The cost of production was 2.9 per cent below the Plan figures. Similarly, the other plants re~ ported their achievements, such as the daily production of 145 trac- tors, the surpassing of the produc- tion plan in the third quarter by 2 per cent, the reduction of the costs of production 2.1 per cent be- low the Plan figure by the Kharkov Tractor Plant, and the fulfillment of the oil production plan by the Lok-Batan Oil Wells with a sur- plus of 1.9 per cent. The reporters, however, did not speak of achieve- ments alone. In a real -Bolshevik manner, shortcomings were brought out sharply in order to spur efforts to overcome them: Stoppages amounting to 30.4 per cent of the running time in January of this year at the Kharkov Tractor Plant, later considerably reduced but still at the high figure of 17 per cent in August; similar shortcomings at Uralmach Plant (Sverdlovsk); etc. Towards Vivtory of Second Plan If we add to the above facts the latest news that in the Leningrad District the plan of machine con- struction for the first nine months of the year is only 6 per cent be- hind schedule, that coal production has reached on October 17 the un- precedented figure of 232,000 tons, that carloadings have surpassed the original schedule of 55,000 daily, and that a new goal, the loading of 59,000 care daily has been set— then there will be no doubt that the slogan put forward by Comrade Stalin in 1931: “The Bolsheviks must master technique,” is being realized, and that the Second Five- Year Plan in industry, an integral part in the building of Socialism, will be achieved. And what of agriculture? Does not the bumper crop of this year, Our Immortal Leader Struggle ‘for a Class- less Socialist Society the result of Bolshevik leadership and of the enthusiastic work of the collectives, signify a decisive vic~ tory of socialist construction in the vilage? problem is facing the Bolsheviks. The creation of large Socialist agri- culture economy is an indispensible condition of the struggle for the building of Socialism. It is impos- sible to accomplish the task of building the classless society with- out completely overcoming indi- vidual small production which, as Lenin said, “is giving birth to capi- talism constantly, daily, hourly, spontaneously and on a mass scale,” Taking Peasants Out of Old Rut “For hundreds of years people lived as of old, have trodden the old road, have bowed their backs before the kulak and the landlord, before the usurer and speculator,” said Joseph Stalin to the collectivist shock brigaders assembled in the First Congress in February, 1933. Not that this old road met the ap- proval of the peasants, but that it was a beaten path, and nobody had yet proved in deed that it was possible to live differently, and bet- ter. The Bolsheviks, with tractors and other machinery succeeded in con- vineing the peasantry of the ad- vantage of the new road, and in y of this the Central Com- mittee of the All-Union Commu- nist Party was able to state: “In drawing the balance we can now say that the positions of the in- dividual economy are already over- come in all of the basic regions of the U.S.S.R., and the final victory of the Kolhoz system in the vil- lage is assured.” At that time over 63 per cent of the peasant econ- omies were concenerated in over 200,000 collectives. ees [NDEE. the leadership of the Bol- sheyik Party, powerful Socialist industry is transforming the vil- lage. The age-old contrasts be- tween the city and village are be- ing wiped out. New men, conscious builders of Socialism, are being created in, the collectives. Therein is the guarantee of victory in the struggle for a classless séciety. Having overthrown capitalist rule, having overcome the main diffi- culties in the construction of So- cialism, the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union are facing the future with confidence are assured of shelter and food, while the work- ers and farmers of the U. S. are faced with the fifth winter of hun- ger and want, of fascist persecu- tions by the ruling class and its, executive committee, the dema-~ gogie government of Roosevelt. | The workers and farmers of the United States are learning fast that for them likewise, the new road, | the road of overthrowing the capi- talist power, under the guidance of | the American Bolsheyiks, the Com- munist Party of the U.S.A.,the road of establishing the dictatorship of , the proletariat and the building of Socialism, is the only way out of their misery. : 1 Yet here a tremendous}. long broken with the spirit of Marx- ism, it saw itself compelled to break also with the banner of Marxism and has openly and indisputably pro- ceeded against the offspring of Marxism, against the October Rev- olution, against the first dictatorship of the proletariat in the world. Between social democracy and Marxism there lies today an abyss. From now on the only bearer and stronghold of Marxism is Leninism, Communism. Social Democracy Exposed The October Revolution has sep- arated social democracy from Marx-} ism and driven it into the camp of the immediate defenders of capital- ism against the first proletarian dic- tatorship in the world. When the social democratic leaders abuse the “Soviet regime” and laud parlia- mentary “democracy,” they thereby wish to say that they are fighting and, will fight for the re-establish- ment of capitalist conditions in the Soviet Union, for the maintenance of capitalist slavery in the “civilized” States. Present day social demo- cracy is an ideological support of capitalism. Lenin was indisputably right when he said that the present social democratic politicians “will, in the civil war of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, inevitably side with the Versaillers against the Communards.” One cannot put an end to cap- italism without putting an end to social democracy within the labor movement. Consequently, the era of the death of capitalism is at the same time the era of the death of social democracy in the labor move- ment. The era of the rule of the Second International and of social demo- cracy in the labor movement is at an end, © There has commenced the era of the rule of Leninism and the rule of the Third International. A Classless Society “The vast natural wealth of the country, the Bolshevik rate of Socialist construction, the growing activity of the masses of workers and collective farm- ers, and the correct line of the Party fully guarantee such development of the productive forces of Socialist economy in the Second Five Year Plan as will serve as a basis for the complete extermination of the capitalist elements in the U. 8. 8. R. “The Conference holds that the chief political task of the Second Five-Year Plan is the final liquidation of the -capital- ist elements and of classes in general; fully to destroy the causes which give rise to class distinction and exploitation; to | overcome the survivals of capi- |the Jacobins did not save feudalism | Marxism, under the banner of the | talism in the economy and the consciousness of people; to transform the whole working population. of the country into conscious, active building of a classless Socialist society. “On the basis of the liquida- tion of parasitic css elements and the general increase in the national income; which is en- tirely at the disposal of the toilers, a very much more rapid improvement in the conditions of the workers and peasant masses must be achieved. The conference holds that by the end of the period of the Second Five-Year Plan, the population must be provided with at least two to three times the quantity of main articles of consump- tion, including food products, as it received at the end of the first Five-Year Plan.” —From the Resolution on the Second Five-Year Plan, [Miner Urges Aid | For Daily Worker By a Mine Worker Correspondent.
