A REALSOO'IALIST ON RUSSIA.
While many American Socialists
still regard Sovietism as a name to
conjure with. and Bolshevism as a
millennial fact. John pargo, the able-st
Socialist leader'and writer in America,
calmly informs his misled brethren:
"There is no Soviet government in
Russia. They haven't el 0 ted the in
fifteen months. Lenlue has abolished
the wot'krs‘ councils. Russia is in the
grip of an autocrack of Lenine-and his
commissaires. No one else dares raise
his voice. Ilalehewism is not even me
dictatorship of the proletariat." ‘
Facts. as Carlyle said, are “Stubborn
things." but not so stubborn as ”the.
fancies ,of memoir-belted radicaluiaho
stylus himself as Socialist. and takes
up Bolsuceiamrbecause it l:‘ the unv-
est thing. and rolls the: term Soviet
uudr-r his tongue as a chi co [‘l'll’SQl.
All ‘.l-""l-i;lft|.‘lllt’d people ki’l-)lv'_ as' Mr.
Spars-i does, that Sovietisn in lluSuia
is a mere name. which Lenine pre-
served after he had destroycd‘the pow-
er of the Sbviets. or peasants: and
workers“ councils.« because the name
waspopular.TheAll-Societ government
straiglitway became the All-Bolshevist
government. which i turn proved to
be the All~Lenlne g vernment. Now
the poor fools who trusted first to
the power of their Soviets and then to
the doctrines of Bolslievism are forc-
ed into thr avmy or driven to work in
factories. and forbidden to strike as it
they were serfs‘like their ancestors.
it is the literal truth that Russia
today represents not only the oven,
throw of democracy—Liar the Soviets
“ore democratic—Jim also the betray"
a] of the extreme type of Socialism
knowi- as Ilolshev—lsm. It is therefore,
a spectacle at which any trite Social-j
i-rt may wc'l grieve, as Mr. Sparse (hr;
cs. instead of shutting his' eyes and
feeding (in delusions.
“We need a revolution," says Mr.
Sparao. “a revolution of social consci-
ousnrss in tin; minds of citizens. For.
amass-if, l repudiate Bolshevism rout
and branch. for it means the destruc-
tion of that which is most prectous.’
D'Annuzlo is talking through “his
helmet again. as follows: “I will lOUlt
across the vast expanse of the Padilla
lift. myself from the earth and start
toward your land_ your: tree America,
stepping from island to island." Some
