 124 the apparatus and organs of state enforcement. While the transition from the dictatorship into the Communist society is going on, there is going on a gradual blending of the economic organs of proletarian dictatorship and the trade unions. A new synthetic organization is being created which directs all production.

From the trade unions, on the basis of trade unions, is being developed in society that organ which will direct and regulate production—will grow the economic organs for directing society. And as, in a developed Communist society, there will be no state organs except the organs of economic production and administration, thus, the trade unions in the process of their development become a new organ, the name of which we cannot know, but which will deal with production, regulation, distribution, accountancy, statistics, etc.

Thus we come to the conclusion that all forms of the labor movement, developing in the moment of revolution, expanding and embracing wide masses with the development of the revolution itself, in its process are changing; when the time comes of the general victory of Communism, they to a certain degress are absorbed in the new society, changing their forms, becoming filled with a new content and responding to the needs of the time.

Such are the prospects of the development of the world's trade union movement. That is about the way we active workers in the present revolution visualize the future relations between different organizations and the destiny of different forms of the labor movement created by the working class in the process of its historical development.

This analysis, or, if you please, this prognosis of future development, comes from our Marxian estimation of the relation of forces. Of course, life in the future will bring many changes into these relations. But if our fundamental analysis is correct, that we are moving toward a non-class society; if it is correct that the proletarian dictatorship is a temporary historical epoch, then it is absolutely correct, that the organs created by a class society must disappear because there will be no basis upon which these organs can exist.

For our generation, these questions will not make themselves felt practically. But we Communists have one peculiarity, we are not afraid to confront the future face to face, and in the sphere of estimating the development of events, we always follow realistic logic, no matter what the conclusion may be.

We do not know how the developed Communist society will look, but there is certainly no doubt that the historical forces, which started millions to moving and heaved up tens and hundreds of millions of people, will without fail lead humanity to that system of society.
