The Land of the Soviets is the only bulwark of peace and of the independence of the weak states against the attacks of the pred- ooo on the grounds of the “interests of socialism.” In England the National Labourites, in conjunction with the Conservatives, are pursuing the pred- atory policy of British imperialism; the Labour Party, deceiving the work- éfs by its pseudo-opposition to the government, is striving after minis- B. The Fight Against the Fascization of the Bourgeois Governments and Against War. In the fight against the fasciza- tion of the so-called “democratic” countries, the Communist Parties must first of all brush aside the fatalist, defeatist line of the inevi- tability of a fascist dictatorship and imperialist war and also the oppor- tunist underestimation of the tempo of fascization and the threat of im- Perialist war, which condemn the Communist Parties to passivity. In carefully explaining the econ- omic and political slavery which the fascist dictatorship is bringing to toilers, showing the masses that fascists are not socialists and are bringing in @ new order, but are lack- eys, lickspittles of capital, the Com- ™munists must rouse the masses in time for the defense of the trade unions, of the labor press, of the workers’ clubs, of the freedom to strike and of workers’ meetings, organizing protest demonstrations, strikes and setting up fighting self- defense detachments to resist the terrorist gangs. In the fight against the fascist dic- tatorship, the Communists must: 8) Taking as the starting point the defense of the every-day economic and political interests of the toilers, rouse the masses against the fascist dictatorship which deceived the work- ers, the peasants and the urban toll- the the not. parts of the war machine of imper- ialism.

The XUI Plenum of the E.C.C.I. calls upon all the workers and th toilers of the world, self-sacrificingly, to defend the U.S.S.R. against th counter-revolutionary conspiracy 0: the imperialists, and to defend the Chinese revolution and its Soviet power from imperialist intervention.

Fascism tries to secure a mass basis for mono- polist capital among the petty-bour-| geoisie, appealing to the peasantry, artisans, office employees and civil servants who have been thrown out of their normal course of life, and particularly to the declassed elements in the big cities also trying to pene- trate into the working class. ‘The growth of fascism and its com- ing into power in Germany and in @ number of other capitalist coun-) tries means: (a) That the revolutionary crisis and the indignation of the broad/ masses against the rule of capital is growing. (b) That the capitalists are no longer able to maintain their dicta-| torship by the old methods of par- liamentarism and of bourgeois dem- | ocracy in general. (c) That, moreover, the methods | of parliamentarism and bourgeois democracy in general are becoming | a hindrance to the capitalists both| in their internal politics (the strug-| gle against the proletariat) as well as in their foreign politics (war for the imperialist redistribution of the} world), | (a) That, in view of this, capital) is compelled to pass to open ter-| rorist dictatorship within the coun- try and to unrestrained chauvinism im foreign politics, which represents direct preparation for imperialist wars.

On the other hand, the} fascist dictatorship is not an inevi- table stage of the dictatorship of the| bourgeoisie in all countries. The pos- sibility of averting it depends upon the forces of the fighting proletariat, which are paralyzed by the corrupt- ing influence of social democracy more than by anything else. 2) While the general line of all) bourgeois parties, including social- democracy, is towards the fascization | of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, the realization of this line inevitably gives rise to disagreement among) them as to forms and methods of fascization. Certain bourgeois groups, particularly the social-fascists, who in practice stick at nothing in their acts of police violence against the proletariat, urge the maintenance of parliameniary forms when carrying through the fascization of the bour- geois dictatorship. The fascists,/ however, insist on the full or partial abolition of these old, shaken forms} of bourgeois democracy, on carrying} through fascization by means of the) establishment of an open fascist dic-| tatorship and by a wide application) of both police violence and the ter- the bourgeoisie also in the countries of open fascist dictatorship. In fight- ing against the revolutionary unity of the proletariat and against the US.S.R., it helps the bourgeoisie to prolong the existence of capitalism by splitting the working class. In the majority of countries, however, it is| already in the process of disintegra- | tion. The radicalization of the social- democratic workers intensifies the squabbles among the leading circles of the social-fascists. Avowed neo- fascist groups are arising; “left” frag- ments break away and try to patch together a new two and one-haif in- ternational. Trotsky, the lackey of the counter-revolutionary bourgeoisie, is unsuccessfully trying to prevent the social - democratic workers coming over to the side of Communism by his despicable attempts to form a fourth international, and by spread- ing anti-Soviet slanders. On the ba- sis of the sharp antagonisms between the imperialist countries, the inter- national organization of social-demo- cracy is disintegrating. The crisis of the Second International is a fact. Finance Capitalism Cannot Restore Stabilization of Capitalism 4) The economic policy of the fi-| nancial oligarchy for overcoming the crisis (the robbery of the workers and peasants, subsidies to the capi- talists and landlords) is unable to restore the stabilization of capitalism; on the contrary, it is helping still further to disintegrate the mechan- ism of capitalist economy (disorgan- ization of the money system, of the budget, state bankruptcies, a further deepening of the agrarian crisis) and| to sharply intensify the fundamental industries to unprecedented dimen- sions, and are adapting all the prin- cipal branches of industry, as well as agriculture, to the needs of war. The “demand” thus created for means of extermination and destruction, com-/} bined with open inflation (US.A,, Great Britain and Japan), super- dumping (Japan), and hidden infla- tion (Germany), has in the past year caused an increase in output in some branches of industry in a number of countries (particularly iron, steel, non-ferrous metals, the chemical and textile industries). But this whipping up of production for non-productive purposes, or the speculative leaps in production on the basis of inflation, is accompanied by stagnation or a fall in production in a number of other branches (machine construc- tion, building, the production of ar- ticles of consumption), and in the near future cannot but lead to the still greater disturbance of state fi- nances and fo a still further inten- sification of the general crisis of capitalism. The furious struggle for foreign and colonial markets has already as- sumed the form of an actual inter- national economic war. Social-Democracy’s Wrong Estimate of Crisis 5) Therefore, the social-democratic estimation cf the present world situ- | ation as one in which capitalism has succeeded in consolidating its posi- 6) It would, therefore, be a right opportunist error to fail to see now the objective tendencies of the accel- jerated maturing of a revolutionary crisis in the capitalist world. But the presence and operation of these ten- dencies, both economic and political, do not imply that revolutionary de- velopment is proceeding upwards by | itself, or unhindered without resis- |tance from counteracting forces. | Revolutionary development is simul- | taneously hindered and accelerated | by the fascist fury of the bourgeoisie. |The question as to how soon the rule of bankrupt capitalism will be overtfrown by the proletariat will | be determined by the fighting pre- paredness of the majority of the | working class, by the successful work of the Communist Parties in under- mining the mass influence of social- | democracy. | In the present situation, in con- ditions when antagonistic class forces are strained to the utmost, the growth of the revolutionary mass movement | in individual capitalist countries can have a constant or level character even less than before. In China there BB a war, intervention and revolution. In Japan there is the growth of the | | | less open forms. There, enormous | revolutionary energy is being accu- mulated among the masses and a | new revolutionary upsurge is already beginning. The strained situation in | Germany sharpens to the extreme | the class relations in the neighboring jcountries—in Czecho-Sloyakia, Aus- tria, the Baltic countries, as well as Jin the Scandinavian countries, in Holland, Belgium and in Switzerland. |In Poland, the mass strikes of the workers are accompanied by big revo- | lutionary actions in the Polish rural! districts. In Bulgaria, in spite of the | terror, the majority of the working} class solidly follow the Communist |Party. In Rumania, there is a big | strike of railwaymen, with barricade fighting. | At the same time, the main strong- |hold of the world proletariat, the | powerful Land of the Soviets, the |Jand of the victorious working class | which is making the present year in- to the last year of economic diffi- culties, raising the well-being of the} | toiling masses to a new and higher jlevel by its great socialist victories, | serves as an i tion to the toil. ers of all countries in their revolu- | tionary struggle. | Ii.—The Inperialis New World War t Preparations for a The \@ way out of the crisis only by the | intensified exploitation of the tollers of their own countries, has led the | imperialists to put their main stake Soviet China Big Factor of World Revolution 1) The flames of a new world war are flaring up in the Pacific.

Pursuing a policy of con- | tinuous provocation against the U. S. |S. R. and contemplating the seizure | of Soviet territory, the fascist imili- tarists of Japan are acting as an outpost in a counter-revolutionary | war against the Land of the Soviets. | At the same time, German fascism is \ inviting the international bourgecisie | to purchase its national-socialist mer- | cenaries to fight against the US.S.R., | intriguing with British, Italian and Polish imperialists (the German- Polish negotiations). The British im- perialists at the present time have taken the place of the French as the! chief organizers of an anti-Soviet war.

Retarding the outbreak of a new war by the gigantic growth of its power, the U.S.S.R. invokes upon itself a new wave of hatred on the part of the most reactionary and ag- gressive groups of the imperialists. Fascist Germany Chief Instigator of War in Europe 3) The fascist government of Ger- many, which is the chief instigator of war in Europe, is provoking trou- ble in Danzig, in Austria, in the Saar, in the Baltic countries and in Scandinavia, and on the pretext of fighting against Versailles, is trying to form a bloc for the purpose of bringing about a new bloody carving up of Europe for the benefit of Ger- man imperialism. Imperialist blocs, headed either by France or Italy, or by Britain, which intrigues behind their backs, are being feverishly re« organized around the key-points of imperialist contradictions. has become a powder-magazine which may explode at any moment. British and American imperialists, availing themselves of the war alarm | in Europe and the events in the Far East, are increasing their prepara-/| | tions for a decisive imperialist strug- | gle for world hegemony in the At- | lantic and in the Pacific.

The German social-demo- cracy openly voted in the Reichstag for the national front of German fascism, which is preparing for a mil- itary adventure, At the same time, the Second and Amsterdam Internationals are adapt- ing their policy to the situation of the eve of war, trying to safeguard the interests of their own bourgeoisie and to ensure that the main blow will be directed at the U.S.S.R.; they hypo- critically ask this by expressing readi- | ness to reply to war by a general strike and a boycott, but they declare in advance that they will do so only | against the government that will be Europe | declared the aggressor by the League of Nations. They pretend to.be lead- ing a boycott against goods from fa- selst Germany, but they persecute the workers who really carry out this boycott. Under the slogans of paci- fism and of a fight against war and | fascism, they act as pioneers in work- ing up public opinion in the capitalist countries in favor of a counter-revo- lutionary war against the U.S.S.R. oe Cw The bourgeoisie wants to postpone | the doom of capitalism by a criminal imperialist war and a counter-revolu- tionary campaign against the land of victorious socialism. The great his- torical task of international Commu- nism is to mobilize the broad masses against war even before war has be- gun, and thereby hasten the doom the victory of a revolution that breaks out in connection with war. ]I.—The Tasks of th e Communist Parties In the conditions of the maturing of the world revolutionary crisis, when the bourgeoisie is trying to divert the |ferment, the discontent and the in-| dignation of the masses into the channel of fascization and war in order to strengthen its dictatorship, the main task of the Communists is to direct this mass movement towards the fight for the overthrow of the dictatorship of the exploiting classes. A. The Fight Against Fascist Ideology The Communists must: Daily and concretely expose chau- vinism to the masses in every coun- try and oppose it by proletarian in- ternationalism; in the imperialist countries come out determinedly for the independence of the colonies, for the liberation of the dependent na- tions from all national oppression; in the keypoints of national antag- onisms Communists must struggle against imperialiss occupation and violence, for the right of self-deter- mination (Upper Silesia, the Saar, Northern Bohemia, etc.), coming out in all these regions, and also in Aus- tria and Danzig, against the chauvin- ism of their national bourgeoisie and against incorporation in the hang- men’s “third empire” of German fa- scism. Widely popularize the solution of the national question in the USSR. and the tremendous economic, social and cultural successes achieved by the peoples which were liberated by the October Revolution. 13th Plenum Proceedings | The XIII Plenum of the Executive) that the C. P, of Great Britain hadjregard to the Independent Labor | Committee of the Communist Inter-| achieved some success in carrying out |Party. The Plenum proposed that the its struggle for a united front on the basis of concrete demands, draw- strikes and leading the proletariat up to mass political strikes; (b) Penetrate all the fascist mass organizations and also carry on revolutionary work in the forced labor camps; while fight- ing against the revolutionary workers leaving the fascist trade unions in- dividually, but not calling upon the workers to join the fascist trade uniohs, the Communists must utilize all mass movements as well as all manifestations of discontent shown by the masses in the fascist trade unions in order to form and consoli- date independent class trade unions, VHILE at the same time continuing their revolutionary work inside the fascist organizations; (c) expose in the eyes of the peasants the policy which fascism pursues in the interests of the landlords and the kulaks, illus- trating this by concrete examples | from their own farm life; join the mass fascist organizations in the rural districts in order to split off the toiling peasants; organize the agri- cultural proletariat in independent trade unions which are to serve as the main lever for the whole work in the rural districts. In fighting against war, the Com- munists must prepare even now for the transformation of the imperialist war into civil war, concentrate their respondence with the British I pendent Labor Party. Social- cracy, which split the working cl, its treachery at the time of the in perlalist war and the October R=vo- lution, has in all countrics, in ¢2- cordance with directives of the S International, refused the offers 1 by the Communist Parties for unit working class action, and sabota the united anti-fascist and an movements created in Amster and Paris, and in the face of fasc!sm and war, strived to deepen the split in the ranks of the proletariat. The XIII Plenum of the E.C.C.1. calls upon all Sections of the Con: munist International persistently to fight for the realization of a uniied militant front with the social- cratic workers —in spite of against the will of the tre: leaders of social-democracy. The Plenum fully approves the resolution of the Presidium of 1) E.C.C.X. of April 1, 1933, on the ation in Germany and the p Mne pursued by the Central Co: tee of the Communist Party o7 many, headed by Comrade mann, before and at the time fascist coup. The Pienum notes the heroic Bolshevik siruggie waged by the Communist Party of Ger forces in each country, at the vital against the fascist dictatorsh'p. 1V.—Fhe Tasks of Strengthening of Communist Pariics Mass Work and the The fulfilment of these fundamen- tal tasks demands the genuine reor- trade unions, which still represents their weakest sector. In the situation when the toilers are in a state of) great ferment, the Communists, while | taking into account the moods of the masses, must formulate slogans and) demands in such a way as to make) them arise from the present level of the movement; at the same time they must show the workers the revolu- tionary way out. This means: (a) That the content and language of agitation and the press must henceforth be addressed to the broad- est strata of the proletariat and the toilers, showing the face of the Com- munist Parties in both agitation and in mass actions (caemonstrations, strikes and other mass actions). (b) Securing within the shortest time possible a decisive turn to the work in the factories, concentrating the forces of the Party organization in the decisive enterprises and raising the political level of the leadership given by the factory nuclei to the daily class struggles.
