sia to-day and this is precisely what has made Soviet Russia the target of all the reactionaries all over the world, from tho millionaire owners of industry to the petty grafters who prey on society. To-day, provided yon aro a healthy man or woman, you eat according to the work yon do, according to the service you perform. Everybody who is a useful member of society is allowed his share in the food and clothing and pay in Russia. But nobody any longer is free to live off the labor of others or by the exploitation of men and women in any manner whatsoever.The coming days may be rather difficult for the social parasite# who do not understand tho events of the times. They do not realize' that CAPITALISM. or anarchy in production, has failed, nnd in bound to succumb in chaos and uttor rout because of its own contradictions.We are going to have world revolu tion, not because of the alias of any class, but because, through the failure of the capitalist credit system, capital ism is becoming unable to carry on production. The same money is deposited over and over again in tho banks and the bank deposits are increasing more than twenty times a.s fast as tho gold supply. So that the banks aro in a constant state of insolvency. They aro no longer able to lend suf ficient money to carry on business enterprises, to maintain industry. They aro compelled to curtail credit when the United States, for example, needs hundreds of millions of dollars to bo expended in extending and rebuilding and improving the railroads alone. They need either to print more unbacked paper money or to hold more nnd more money in tho hanks to partially protect their depositors.Industry in being CHOKED OFF by Capitalism, not by the revolutionists, nnd every student of history knows that when production ceaaea, the inevitable result i3 revolution in self-preservation for the mass of the people.And when Anarchy, or Capitalism, brings CHAOS, nothing on earth will lift society out of the disaster but SOCIALIZED production and SOCIAL IZED PLANNING. When it actually becomes impossible to produce for PROFITS, men and women will either have to Btarve to death or RESUME PRODUCTION on tho basis of HUMAN USE AND HUMAN NEEDS.:aldsAnd so the socialism of Marx and Engels is on its way. No matter who tlicr you are glad or sorry, no matter whether yon may be working for it, or die trying to prevent its coming, it i3 as certain as the approach of tho reasons.We are bouud to have a socialized world., socialized production and distribution — not because we do or do net. want it, but because Capitalism is going to leave the whole world high and drv in ntter chaos. There is onlv ONE WAY OUT!
