DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1934 Page Five Forward from the February Uprising to the Red Bolshevist October! STATEMENT OF COMMUNIST PARTY OF AUSTRIA ON HEROIC ARMED STRUGGLE AGAINST FASCISM Pledges Unrelenting Struggle, Carrying Forward | Fighting United Front Battles on Austrian Barricades Communist Party is being circu-|in a bloody struggle—betrayed by lated in Vienna and all over Aus- | the agents of the class enemy hold- \ing the commanding positions in VIENNA, Feb. 20 (By mail).—The following appeal from the Austrian tria: READ! DISCUSS! PASS ON TO ANOTHER READER! Forward from the February Up- rising to a Red October! Workers, Republican Guards, Comrades! The Austrian workers have fought | a gigantic battle. It was the first uprising of the working class of a whole country against a fascist dic- tatorship. The boundless revolu- tionary heroism, the undaunted boldness in the face of death, shown by the Republican Guards and the Communists in the joint struggle, form a beacon which will point the way for ever to the international proletariat in its struggle for eman- | cipation from capitalist slavery. The | working class of the whole world greets the brave heroes of the bar- ricades, and lowers his conflict and of the gallows. Massacre of Workers The Dolifuss-Fey government has crushed this uprising with a bru- | tality which finds its parallel only in the massacres committed by the butchers of the Paris Commune. This government directs murderous fire from guns and mine-throwers upon workers’ tenements, in which there are defenseless women and children. It has caused workers’ headquarters to be set on fire. It has set up gallows all over the country. It throws sincere and hon- est workers into jail for 20 years, for life. Dollfuss Hypocrisy The government is accompanying its terror and the suppression of all the rights of the workers with the Jesuitical hypocrisy that it is “rep- resenting the Austrian people,” that its desire is the “renewal of Aus- tria. No. This fascist government supported on the points of bayonets and the mouths of cannon, is a gov- ernment of hangmen, a government of murder, of starvation, and prep- aration for war. It is a government of lies and deception. Not one word of its proclamations is true, not one word of the speeches of its mem- bers. They lie as only Jesuits can lie. This government knows only one goal: The “renewal” of the profit system of the Christian and Jewish industrial magnates and fi- nancial kings, of the aristocrats and large landowners—of the system tottering under the crisis. The only “right” to be left the starving masses is to preserve law and order whilst being exploited and trampled underfoot. The fascist dictatorship government must be combatted with rodovbled determination. How Did Dolifuss Succeed? How has it been possible for this government, supported only by a few thousand paid mercenaries, and by the priests and capitalists, to crush the heroic forces of the work- ers, fighting with such elan and with such an arsenal of arms? In view of the hundreds of dead among the workers, and in view of the fact that tens of thousands of workers have been involved in the armed struggle, and with them many so- cial democratic functionaries who have fought honorably, we Commu- nists state clearly and distinctly, in full consciousness of our responsi- bility: The blame lies at the door of the whole policy of Austrian so- cial democracy in the past and dur- ing the days of the uprising. Social Democratic Strategy What was the defeatist strategy of social democracy in the days of the uprising? The workers took up arms to overthrow the fascist dic- tatorship and to establish social- ism. But the social democratic leaders, headed by Otto Bauer, were anxious to exploit the no longer restrainable fighting determination of the masses for the purpose of maintaining their own positions in the system of the Dollfuss dictator- ship, Therefore they did not give the masses the political goal of the overthrow of the fascist dictator- ship, the sole goal which could have led to victory—they preferred to chatter of the “defense of the con- stitution.” Therefore they did nothing to lead the whole of the masses of the workers, the gigantic army of the entire working class, into the general strike and the armed in- surrection. Therefore they issued no clear and binding directives for the general strike, and indeed broke it off from the beginning. Socialists in “Patriotic Front” The social democratic leaders of the railway men went over to the Patriotic Front, and dealt a deci- sive blow against the general strike, whilst thousands of railway men in the workshops and depots were waiting for the call for the general strike. On Monday evening the ty- pographical workers commenced work, which would have been im- possible without leave from the trade unions. By this tt was made possible for the government to spread its lying reports, carrying disruption into the ranks of the fighters. Seitz, the president of the Social Democratic Party, handed over the city hall to the fascists without a struggle, without upon the masses to defend a build- ing always stressed by the Socialist Party as the symbol of its political power. With the city hall as head- | and provinces, where the workers | flags in| honor of the victims of the open | Forged In Proletarian ers’ functionaries, you Communists, who had been plunged for 50 hours your own ranks, S. P. LEADERS OPENLY JOIN ENEMY \ And more than this! Social | democratic leaders went over to the enemy openly and directly. They prevented whole districts were anxious to fight, from tak- | ing part in the struggle. This was the case in Carinthia, and in such important districts as Vienna— | Neustadt, St. Polten, and in the 2d, 14th and 15th Districts of Vi- enna. To this must be added that the social democratic leaders have always deliberatey erected a di- viding wall between the Republi- can Guards and the rest of the workers, They isolated the armed struggle of the Republican Guards without supporting it by the po- litieal and armed struggle of the whole working class. They con- demned the heroically fighting Republican Guards to a position of defense, in which they had to see one position after another fall. | And defense is the death of every armed insurrection. All this is the result and the ex- pression of 15 years of social demo- | |eratic policy under the leadership | |of Otto Bauer and Seitz. The fact | |that individual leaders of this party | fought bravely here and there in the struggle alters nothing of the fact that they, too, are fully co- responsible and co-guilty in the pursuance of a policy which has led to the success of Fascism and the | suppression of the uprising. Contradiction Within Social Democracy Social democracy has carried a deadly contradiction within it: On the one hand it has comprised tens of thousands of workers, revolution- lists, ready to give their lives for the cause of the proletariat. But on the other hand the policy of the so- cial democratic leaders has been di- rected for 15 years to the mainte- nance of the capitalist system, and against its overthrow by the prole- tarian revolution. It has been di- rected to collaboration with the bourgeoisie, and against the real By VY. I. LENIN ... As regards civil war. After the imperialist war, in face of the terror that is employed against the pro- letariat by the reactionary generals and officers, in face of the fact that by the present policy of all the bourgeois states new im- perialist wars are already being prepared—and not only are being consciously prepared, but follow with objective inevitability from their whole policy — under such conditions, in such a situation, to bemoan the civil war against the ex- ploiters, to condemn it, to fear it means, in reality, to become a reactionary. It means to dread the victory of the workers which may cost some ten thousand lives, and to make certain a new imperialist slaughter which cost yes- terday, and will cost tomor- row, millions of lives. It means, actually, en- couraging the reactionary inclinations towards vio- lence, the designs and prep- arations of the bourgeois generals and bourgeois of- ficers. —Written in the beginning of June 1920. UNDER THE BANNER OF STALIN | Maxim Gorky addressing the Fourth Moscow District Conference of the Communist Party, in the Hall of Columns of the Trade Union House in Moscow, January 16. By J. STALIN The victory of revolution never comes by itself. It has to be prepared for and won. And only a strong proletarian revolutionary Party can prepare for and win victory. Moments oc- cur when the situation is revolutionary, when the rule of the bourgeoisie is shaken to its very foundations, and yet the victory of the revo- lution does not come, be- cause there is no revolu- tionary party of the prole- tariat sufficiently strong and authoritative to lead the masses and take power. It would be unwise to be- lieve that such “cases” can- not occur. The masses of the people have not yet reached the stage when t are ready to storm the citadel of capi- talism, but the idea of || storming it is maturing in || the minds of the masses— eloquently testified by such facts as, say, the Spanish revolution which overthrew the fascist regime, and the expansion of the Soviet re- gions in China which the united counter-revolution of the Chinese and foreign bourgeoisie is unable to stop. —From Stalin report at the 11th Party Congress of the C.P. of the U.S.S.R. workers in the revolutionary united front against them.

In the heart of Bu- rope the artillery of the former Austrian imperial army has been brought into action to lay waste the working class quarters and bat- ter down the modern tenement dwellings erected by the Vienna workers in years of hard struggle. With a thimble on his head in- stead of a shrapnel helmet the pocket dictator of the Austrian bourgeoisie sought to destroy the Austrian proletariat with fire and sword. But the Austrian proletariat, apparently utterly demoralized by the social democracy and a nerve- Jess victim of the Austrian brand of “left-wing” social fascism, with its superb -jesuitical subtleties, defended itself like an aawkened lion. The fascist murderers had to take the working class houses in a hand- to-hand struggle even after their artillery had smashed open a way. Floor to floor, corridor for corridor had to be won against the tena- ciously fighting workers who de- fended themselves to the last breath. Bomb after bomb was necessary to shift the workers out of their posi- tions. Hail Austrian Proletariat. The Austrian proletariat appears before the world in a new guise. It has drawn itself up to its full height and grandeur. The Austrian flag of the social democracy and hoisted the red fiag of the prole- tarian revolution. Whilst the cannons are still boom- ing sporadically, whilst the fascist Storm detachments, the armed po- lice and the military are dragging off their prisoners to the exceptional courts, our first feeling is one of pride and admiration for the fight- ing Austrian workers, and our first words, words of solidarity with them. The first thought that comes to us when we read the stirring news from Vienna is one of con~ tempt and hatred for the Austrian social democracy and for the Sec- ond International. For years they have worked to emasculate the Aus- trian working class, to curb the fighting spirit of the proletariat, to prevent its heroic struggle end- ing in well-earned victory. Rose Against Own Past workers have torn down the lying} ccracy “THEY ROSE UP NOT ONLY AGAINST BOURGEOISIE, BUT. GAINST OWN Austrian Workers Break Thru 18 Years of Bauer Treachery HISTORIC PAST,” SAYS RADEK to keep it within the bounds of a rotten parliamentary reformism. In a country seething with na- tional antagonism and _ national struggle, antagonisms and enmities exploited by the bourgeoisie, the feudal clique, and the bureaucracy to maintain their own rule and in- cite the pedples against each other, the social democracy could not put forward the slogan of proletarian solidarity without at the same time putting forward the slogan of the right of self-determination for the oppressed nationalities. Instead of putting forward these slogans, the Austrian social democracy came for- ward With a plan to rationalize and organize the oppression of the na- tional minorities by the Austrian bourgeoisie and the Polish and Hun- garian magnates. Bastard “Austro-Marxism” When the struggle against re- formism in the working class move- ment began on a world scale the Austrian social democracy, under the leadership of Victor Adler, pro- duced a bastard mixture which be- came known to the world as “Austro-Marxism” and which whilst opposing reformism in words itself pursued a centrist policy and tactic. In an article, entitled “Marxism and the National Question,” Dux lished in 1913, Comrade Stalin laid bare the treacherous content of this theory. Whilst the whole world was preparing feverishly for war, the Jeaders of the Austrian social dem- came forward with the idea of “a ‘ul reorganizaton of Aus- tria.’ When the threatening spectre of a terrible war began to shake the rotten edifice of the Austro- History confirmed the brilliant criticism directed by Comrade Stalin against “left-wing” social fascism with unusual clarity, The sorry “hero” of the Austridn social dem- ocracy, Otto Bauer, has written a cians were necessarily the losers.

Mr. Bauer tells about it very frankly: “No bourgeois government could racy showed strength and deter-| mination only in one thing—in the struggle against the proletarian revo- lution.

The prole-/| tarian revolution would have been victorious throughout the whole of} Southern and Central Europe and would have united with the Russian | revolution. The world would look different today. Extinguishing Revolutionary Fires But the social traitors, with Otto Bauer at their head, did their ut- most to smash the forces of the proletarian revolution and to in- timigate the Austrian proletariat | with the threat of blockade and |famine.

There is only one revolutio Party of the roletariat, advancing this path s this is the world Party of Commu- , nism, the Communist International and its Sections in all countries of the world. It alone is inspired by the tea gs of Marxism-Leninism and is supported by that mighty a0- cialist stronghold of the world pro- letariat, the land of the Soviets on one-sixth of the globe, whose in- spiring example it follows in Aus- tria as everywhere else. Hence, all revolutionary forces must be welded together in the Communist Party, y\ the C. P. made into the mass party of the Austrian proletariat. This is the historical task which it has to fulfill. Republican Guards and Com- munists stood side by side in the struggle against the class enemy in Floridsdorf and Favoriten, in Meidiung, in Simmering, in Linz, Steyr, Upper Austria, Salzkam- mergut, and many other places. Together their blood has been shed for the common revolution- ary cause. This united front of revolutionary class struggle musi live on in all the struggies of the revolutionary class fight. It musi be developed into revolutionary unity in the Communist Party. Working men and women! Re- publican Guards! You who have placed your lives at the service of | the cause of Socialism; follow the {call of the heroic engineer Weisl, |who shouted from the scaffold: “Long live the IIT International, long live Soviet Russia!” Gather around the flags of the real leaders of the proletariat, Marx, Lenin, Sta- lin, Dimitroff!

Fascists Rejoice Too Soon Communists! Our Party has stood the ordeal by fire. You stood in the foremost ranks of the fighters. Now it is your historical task to assemble |the leaderless workers, to organize |them in the Communist Party, to |lead them to renewed struggle! The fascists rejoice: The upris- ing has been crushed! But not so fast—the rejoicing is too hasty. The fascists have been able to repulse |the working class, and the brave fighters of the February uprising, | the elite of the revolutionary work- | ers, remain enshrined forever in the | memories of the working class .. . but their revolutionary example |spurs us on to fresh deeds. The | Austrian fascists have sown the wind, and Austrian capitalism will reap a whirlwind which will sweep |{t away. The call is swelling from every side: Long live the revolu- | tlonary mass uprising of the Aus- | trian proletariat for the overthrow |of the fescist bourgeoisie! Long live the dictatorship of the prole- tariat! New Crises Await Fascists Workers, Comrades! The fascist |Dollfuss dictatorship is rapidly ap- | proaching fresh crises and convul- sions. The structure of capitalist Austria is undermined. The war danger is growing rapidly in Eu- rope and all over the world. The |Dollfuss dictatorship will increase the economic and political pressure on the workers in the shops and factories, on the unemployed, on the toiling masses. It will do its utmost to sweep away social insur- ance, to abolish the shop stewards, the works councils. Class antagonisms have become intensely acute. The hatred felt by the masses against the ruling class, against the Dollfuss dictatorship, is | stronger than ever before. The an- tagonisms in the camp of the bour- geoisie itself are growing, and urge forward to fresh decisions. But at the same time they all seek to unite against the workers. The Patriotic end the Brown fascists alike en- deavour to gain adherents among the workers, but at the same time they rail against you as “red rabble” and “Marxist sub-humans.” Down With Heimwehr and Hitler Fascism Do not permit yourselves to be decoy cries of the retend to be an “op- pe ” and opponents of the Doillfuss dic‘atorshi The Brown fascists, cruel executioners of the German proletariat, blood- stained merecnaries of Thyssen and Krupp, the Aryan and Jewish bank and industrial hyenas of Germany, are “fighting” solely for the purpose of gaining the greaicst poscible share of the spoi!s for themselves in their squabbles with the Green fas- ciss.
