Transcript | OF™ COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL 43 : in rhe i in the rop- ; to mislay' ind sur Exactly! In the same article we read: "The period of great development of the productive forces can begin only with the victory of the proletariat in several large countries. .. From here it follows that an all-round development of the world revolution and the formation of a strong economic alliance of the industrial countries with Soviet Russia is necessary." (N. Bucharin, "Proletarian Dictatorship in Russia and the World Revolution," The Communist International, No. 5, 1919). Bucharin's statement that a rise in the productive ibleforces, that is, real Socialist development, will be- '"^gin only after the victory of the proletariat of the lasadvanced countries of Europe—why, that is exactly >us,the phrase which was used as a basis of all acts of indictment against 'Trotskyism," including rlyalso the indictment read at the Seventh Plenum 17,of the E.C.C.I. It is only strange that Bucharin, 15.whose only salvation lies in his short memory, rinread the indictment. Side by side with this comical circumstance, there is also a tragic one— theimong those indicted was also Lenin, who ex- rldpressed, tens of times, the very same elementary in-idea. Finally, in 1921, six years after Lenin's alleged on-Aange of 1915, and four years after the October ous Revolution, the program of the Young Communist •^League, approved by the Central Committee headed ;d by Lenin and drawn up by a Commission under ide Bucharin's leadership, says in paragraph 4: "In the U.S.S.R. political power is already in the t.1 hands of the working class. In the course of three years of heroic struggle against world capitalism it maintained and strengthened its Soviet Government. Russia, although it possesses enormous natural resources, is, nevertheless, from an industrial point of view, a backward country, in which a petty- bourgeois population predominates. It can arrive at Socialism only through the world proletarian revolution, which epoch of development we have now entered." lit- to >ne ion i ide |
