lone, no ruling class in society has ever been
deposed from its power.... Workingmen cannot depend on '_peaceful_
evolution'; they must prepare for a revolution, and
class-dictatorship....
"To the Socialist at present, the meaning of class struggle,
Internationale and Dictatorship of the Proletariat, must be clear.
He must understand that Socialism is not a reform movement. He must
know that Socialism is a Revolutionary world-perspective, and that
the Socialist movement is a Revolutionary movement.... He must
cease to be a moral preacher and become a fighter. He must know
that the Socialist movement is a red movement, a movement with
blood in the veins, which knows that nothing in life can be won
without a struggle."
This is the real stuff, hid in a foreign tongue, with which Hillquit's
gang poisons the East Side of New York City, while the gang's leaders
lie to the American people.
Yet if the real plan is not to give us Socialism by "peaceful evolution"
but to impose it on us by "a revolution, and class-dictatorship," what
is the real object of the "political action" carried on meantime by
these hypocrites? Again the Yiddish book gives us the real thing:
"So long as the State is ... a tool in the hands of the bourgeoisie
in the fight against the proletariat, ... why do the Socialists
seek to send their representatives there? Where do Socialists fit
into the State? What can they do there?
"Socialists seek to enter into the government for two reasons,
first, to be nearer to the doors of the chambers, where
dictatorship sits, and second to hinder the dictatorial work in any
way possible. The first reason is the most important. Sitting in
Parliament or in Congress, being inside of the government ranks,
affords Socialists an opportunity to find out the plans, the
strategy of the State. And knowing this, they can carry out the
propaganda the better."
If this is not treason--wickedness using "political party" methods both
as a mask and a blackjack to destroy the State--what is it?
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Ample proof has been given in this
chapter to show that there is a nation-wide conspiracy to destroy our
government and institutions and replace the Stars and Stripes by the red
flag. I. W. W.'s, Communists, Communist Laborites, Socialists and
Socialist Laborites have united under
