LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

een a serious character SOONER, he would have used his enormous
printing space for the reprint of the thought of the American founders,
Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, and the distribution of the works of the
Adams descendents. BUT he omitted it. And I don’t ’spose he listens in
to Rome radio. So somebody better tell him.
Twenty years ago Stalin was talkin’ about self-criticisms within the
proletarian parties, their education and instruction on the basis of their
own mistakes. The proletariat, wrote Mr. Stalin, can not retain power if
it does not possess adequate educated administrative cadres, ready for
and capable of organizing the administration of the country. It’s the
question of the advance with seven-league strides to raise the cultural
level that gives one pause. Instead of educatin’ and teachin’ the party
true revolutionary tactics from a study of its own mistakes, we find a
studied evasion of thorny questions, which are glossed over and veiled.
“Left wing communism, and infantile discord,” the words are not mine,
but Lenin’s.
Mr. Stalin said in regard to slogans and resolutions that it was enough to
recall the history of the famous watchword “war against war,” to realize
the utter falsity and rottenness of the political processes of these parties
which veil, etc. There really seems to have been little doubt as to Stalin’s
direction in 1922. His mind appears to have been remarkably clear.
The main query to be raised at this moment, when Mr. Stalin is
undoubtedly as victorious INSIDE the U.S. and Britain, as U.S.
particular interests are being in absorbing the flesh pots of Empire,
(British empire first), the main query is as to the nature and direction of
the evolution of revolution in the United States. I know it is exceedingly
difficult to get a general idea into, let us say, Co. McCormick’s head or
Hamilton Fish’s. Do we move toward REVOLUTION, as from man
toward the amoeba, or do we move, or even desire to move toward an
integration of the individual AS component of the general social scene?
