 106 on the destruction of Italian Fascism, the same as the attention of the bourgeoisie of all countries is concentrated on the destruction of Bolshevism. It is necessary to state that the bourgeoisie in this respect (as well as in others) is much more conscious than the working class, and sees clearly the international significance of Bolshevism.

The bourgeoisie sees in the Bolsheviks the enemy of the whole capitalist system, and on the other hand, no doubt, they see their friends in the Fascisti and in the Fascist governments.

Therefore, the problem of the international proletariat is to sharpen the struggle against Italian Fascism, and here many methods are possible, on condition, of course, of some kind of unity between all the labor organizations Here is possible a demonstration, and many other actions which could have influence on the Italian government. It could be done in Berlin, Paris, New York, etc. Such demonstrations would play a colossal role in the sense of influencing Fascist policy within Italy itself.

Besides that, we raised the question of anti-Fascist propaganda among the Italian immigrants in the United States. In the United States there are a few million Italians, in France there are over a million Italian workers. Out of these millions of Italian workers it is possible to recruit people who would be useful in the struggle against Fascism in Italy itself, for Fascism is attempting and threatening to create its groups all over the world.

These are the slogans which we advocate in the struggle against Fascism. The fundamental slogan and at the same time the best method against Fascism, is revolution, for where the revolution conquers Fascism is crushed. Fascism is as impossible with us as the revival of monarchism. Therefore, the best means against Fascism is the social revolution.

But the social revolution is such a strong means that not only the bourgeoisie but even the reformists cannot stomach it, and the problem in this sphere is contained in "liberating" the reformist leaders from the masses. It is true that this is not a special problem in the struggle against Fascism, because other problems than Fascism will be solved when this "liberation" is accomplished.

We now come to one of the central questions of our differences with the reformist labor movement. This is the question of the United Front. How do we understand the United Front? Instead of theoretical talk on that theme, it is sufficient to bring two international facts which show how the Communists understand the United Front and how they practice it: That is, the international conference at Frankfort and the international Transport Workers conference.
