Transcript | TENTATIVE DRAFT OF THE NEW PROGRAM OF THE YOUNG COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL (as adopted b\f the Third Congress of the Y. C. I. Moscow, December 1922) / THE time when the working class youth suffered without protest under the yoke of exploitation is forever gone. A tremendous development has taken place in the minds of the masses of young workers in the city and in the country; of apprentices, of the children of the proletariat who have been thrown ruthlessly into the process of production by growing capitalism. The unbearable servitude of the young workers in capitalist industry and capitalist society has awakened in them also the consciousness of class and has united them in the struggle against their miserable conditions of existence. The young workers have gathered in hundreds of thousands around the banner of the Young Communist International. Millions of young workers and poor peasants, the oppressed and martyred youth of the colonies, aroused by imperialist wars and gigantic social conflicts have joined the army of the militant proletariat. Closely united with the adult workers in this struggle, the working class youth gradually approaches the goal to which the Communist International points-the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a communist society.
