Transcript | account of the practical effect now being given in our country to the watchword of "liquidating the kulak as a class." The exceptionally violent anti-soviet campaign is intended to serve as a preliminary on the part of the imperialists to the attack on the Soviet Union. In connection with the first item on the agenda of our session, we saw how this anti-soviet campaign is bound up with the internal situation in the capitalist countries and colonies, and what relation it bears to the economic development and the sharpening of class conflict in those countries. My task, therefore, is only to examine the connection between this anti-soviet campaign abroad and our internal situation. I.—The Building of Socialism and the Class Struggle I. THE STRUGGLE FOR THE PLAN AND THE WORKING CLASS. The first part of my report will try to bring out what is going on in the U.S.S.R., what is the economic position here, and how class relations are taking shape at the present stage of the building of socialism. For this purpose I shall have to dwell on the main facts of economic development and the class struggle, confining myself to the principal events in the economic year just concluded and the new year which began in October. This means that I shall be dealing with facts bearing on the first and the beginning of the second year of the Five Years' Plan. I shall first deal with industry. Exactly one month ago the Central Committee of the C.P.S.U. appealed to the Party and to the whole working class to make a new effort along the whole industrial front. The Party established the fact that the industrial plan laid down for the current year was not being carried out, and sounded the alarm. It directed the eyes of the working class first and foremost to the front on which the struggle for the industrial and financial plan is proceeding. An energetic mobilisation of working-class forces to carry out the second year's plan has begun. Further on, I shall deal with the definite facts which produced (the Central Committee's manifesto of January 25th. I must, however, first of all expose the bourgeois lie, assiduously circulated by the capitalist newspaper trusts abroad, in connection with the courageous proletarian self-criticism contained in the manifesto I have mentioned. The bourgeois press asserts that the Party has itself admitted the failure of the industrial plan, and that this shows the economic collapse of the country. We are used to these lies, and are used also to reply to such an outcry by facts and an analysis of the real economic situation of the U.S.S.R. We shall do the same on this occasion. What are the facts? |
