Investigation of Communist Activities in Seattle, Wash., Area, Hearings, Part 1
United States. Congress. House. Committee on Un-American Activities
Communism -- Washington (State) -- Seattle
A system of Fascism will not bring about a stabilization of
Capitalism, but will instead bring a whole train of persecutions,
and inflict the most abject misery upon the toiling masses. It
will mean the continuous lowering of the living standards of
the working people, and with them large sections of the petty
bourgeoisie. The inexorable laws of Capitalist Development will
continue to bring new crises in spite of the repressive measures
of Fascism. During the Present Economic Crisis the Fascist nations
have suffered along with the other Capitalist Nations, and they
are now staggering under the strain, thereby intensifying the
present World Crisis of Capitalism. Only in the Soviet Union
where there is the open dictatorship of the Workers and Farmers,
where Socialism is being definitely planned and organized and
put into operation is there any escape from Economic Crises.
The experiences of the Soviet Union during the World Crisis of
Capitalism stands out as a Beacon Light to the toiling masses
throughout the world as a living example of the Working Class way
out of the Crisis.
In contrast to the Soviet Union, the Capitalist nations are
attempting to introduce Fascism in various forms of FORCED LABOR
CAMPS and Peonage systems. A notable example of which is proposed
for the United States by the Roosevelt Government in the name of
Unemployment Reserves, which in reality are Forced Labor Camps
designed as ARMY RESERVES in preparation for a new Bloody Conflict
among the Imperialist nations for a re-division of world markets
and for a war of intervention against the Workers and Farmers
Government, the Soviet Union.
This program is that of Fascism the world over, and it reached
such a degree of misery to millions and millions of workers in
Germany that the Social-Democratic Parties there appealed to
the Communist International to cease its attacks on the Social
Democrats and join in a struggle against Fascism.
The Executive Committee of the Communist International answered
this appeal by making a statement that, during this period of
struggle against Fascism, it will be the policy of the Communist
Parties to refrain from attacking the Social Democratic Parties
and other Political groups which join the United Front, so long as
they actively struggle against Fascism.
