the revisions of Marxism which appeared at the time.

He did insist at all times uncompromising upon an struggle for Marxist principles and sought to develop Marx- ism creatively to equip the Party to take the leadership of the working class and prepare it for power. 'Lenin attached primary im- portance to the unity of the Party, says Suslov and em- phasizes the need for discipline and democratic centralism.

By this means he uses Lenin's name to oppose all dis- cussion in the CPSU, to pre- serve its Stalinist character and to sally forth to restore a semblance of conformity the foreign Communist Parties.

In reality the inner life of the Bolshevik Party was quite different from that which pre- vails in the CPSU and its 'fraternal parties'. There was, within its ranks, cussion eveich polited dise discussion of differences and the formation of tendencies and groupings on a program- matic basis. Lifelessness Suslov's acceptance of 'de- mocratic centralism' is purely formal. What he means by it is that the policy requirements of the Kremlin buraucracy have to be obediently carried out. It has to be seen in relation- ship to the rise of new oppo- sition forces in the USSR and in the CPSU itself, in a de- mand, that is, for genuine dis- cussion and a real return to Leninism. The main characteristic of the CPSU is its lifelessness and the reduction of Marxism to a sterile dogma, turning Marxism al- many against together. Self-praise has always been a failing of the bureaucracy.

the working class in the Stalin at the 22nd Congress and attempts to show Leni alongside the Nazis, or explain why. In making economic advance the touchstone of success he says nothing about the claims and promises of the Khrush- chev period and the failure to fulfil them. In fact, the right sub-title for Suslov's article would be an essay in deception. All the crimes of the bureau- cracy, its blunders, mistakes and false promises, are con- veniently consigned to the memory hole. Of Lenin it remembers nothing but some convenient from their quotations torn context which suit its present needs. Its fulsome praise for Lenin in words is a cloak for a complete break with Lenin- ism in practice. the blood omits Suslov purges of the 1930s, the oppression of the nationalities and the blows struck against the working class. He quotes Engels on the peasantry as though oblivious of the fact that the forced collectivization ordered by Stalin was in direct contradic- tion with everything , which Engels counselled. Suslov has even 'forgotten' Khrushchev and especially his denunciation of Stalin in 1956 and the call for a restoration of Leninist norms at that time. In the same way Khrush- boastful and un- chev's own realistic claims that full com- would be established munism by the 1980s are also forgotten.

about What Lenin said economic management in the desperate days of the Civil War and the New Economic Policy (NEP) are made to cover the retreat to individual and material incentives made for the benefit of factory managers in the 'economic re- form'. That Lenin was pre-emin- antly an internationalist is formally acknowledged and even in part correctly ex- plained. Lenin's interest in and know- ledge of political and the economic development of all the main countries was based upon a wide Marxist culture, an understanding of the inter- national character of capital- ism and thus of the class struggle. It was precisely this under- standing which made it im- possible for Lenin at the same time to be the protagonist of the theory of socalism in one country. His understanding of Russian development, breaking. with the parochialism of the Narod- Susloy makes it clear that as far as the Con concerned the mass actions of the working Japan (above) must 'not go beyond the fran Tuesday, December 23, 1969 pts to show Lenin as the founder niks and the exceptionalism of could not the Mensheviks, have been acquired on any other basis. However indispensable Lenin's personal contribution, he did not work alone, but as a member of a Party and in collaboration with others.

To isolate Lenin from the life of the Bolshevik Party, with all its inner conflicts, struggles and splits is to pro- duce a Lenin who stands out- side history. Instead, Lenin is forced into a mould made by the bureau- cracy in its own image and becomes unrecognizable as the originator of 'socialism in one • country, 'peaceful co-existence' and the parliamentary road to socialism Suslov's praise for Lenin is thus part of the bureaucracy's self-praise, an assertion of its belief in its own infallibility.

Speaking of the mass actions of the working class in France, Italy, Japan and other coun- tries in the past two or three years, he does not stop to ask why they have not opened up the road to power. He admits, indeed, that as far as the Communist Parties are concerned such struggles 'do not go beyond the frame- work of the capitalist system, monopoly erosion power'. Old recipe He does not say where monopoly power been has 'eroded' or explain how such a policy differs from the gradu- alism of the reformists. Any serious reader of Lenin will know in what terms he would have qualified such policies. In every case the policies of the Communist Party leader- ship has been at variance with Lenin's teachings. Suslov serves up the same old recipe, the usual indigest- of distortions and ible dish falsifications. He repeats the tired phrases of the International Confer- of Communist Parties ence held in Moscow last June.

Such incantations will not save the bureaucracy from the wrath to come. The advance signs of a real return to Leninism, of a new opposition which is finding its way to the political revolution and the path of the Fourth International are now visible throughout eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union itself.

The celebration of Lenin's centenary will signal not the apotheosis of the bureaucracy, but its impending defeat and the victory of the working class. as far as the Communist Party is of the working class in France, Italy and beyond the framework of capitalism'.

Tuesday, December 23, 1969 ITALY'S acute political crisis has produced great strains within the Com- munist Party and brought to a head disputes within the leadership apparent since the early 1960s.

The weaknesses of the Party's perspectives over the past decade have been exposed in a period in which they threaten to bring disaster to the working class. Even since Togliatti ap- peared at the Bari Congress in 1944 and imposed the Moscow involved support line which for the government of that time led by Mussolini's old Marshal, Bagdolio, the Party has acted as loyal opposition, playing the parliamentary game. It has evidently been hoping, the time was ripe, to when enter into a left coalition com- prising elements of the Christ- Democracy-the ruling party supported by the Vatican and big business-as well as the Socialist Parties. The eruption of the masses on to the political scene, as well as the obvious danger of a right-wing coup, has blown sky-high this perspective of peaceful development along the parliamentary road. Party leaders have them- selves been forced into open debate which has centred on the question of the conditions under which they would enter a government. In other words, the debate proceeds in a form which is now largely out-distanced by events and therefore has an divorcing abstract quality it from the needs of the working class. In August two articles in 'L'Unita' by Party leader Amendola under the title 'Party or Government' put the right-wing point of view.

Using the authority of Tog- liatti as his starting point he argued it is necessary to con- front the problem of the entry of the Communists on to the government plane' as a matter of urgency. Evidently Amendola meant that the time had come actu- ally to enter the much-discus- sed left-centre coalition.

In other words he was urg- ing the Party to enter into a governmental coalition with a section of the bourgeoisie in the so-called left' of the Christian-Democratic Party.

Caught as it is between the demands of the masses and the desire to preserve its old rela- tionship with the state through activities, parliamentary the Party leadership is in an un- comfortable situation. The position established by Amendola was corrected by Enrico Berlinguer, another Party leader, in the Chamber of Deputies on the lines that the question had been posed prematurely. As they are still divided and risk finding themselves cut off from their worker base, the Party leaders hesitate to make a decision. Presumably they hope that in some way the crisis will be overcome. To that end they seek to speed up the conclusion of new labour contracts in indus- try and generally to defuse the explosive situation existing in the big plants like Fiat.

the meantime, 'Il Mani- festo' expresses the view of a section of the middle leader- ship which is dissatisfied with the 1960's policies, but which does not yet dare to go further back to seek the roots of the Party's present impotence.

In the September number, under the heading 'Who With and For What?'-the reference is to the possibility of the Communist Party entering a government-Aldo coalition Natoli seeks to resolve the problem of entry on different lines to Amendola or Berlin- guer. He argues that the situation is not at all the same as in 1944-1947 when the CP was in the government under the Catholic politician De Gasperi, different but contains ele- ments. 'What is the character of the social crisis?' he asks. 'Not just that the government is in- efficient, the urgency of or satisfying the immediate and
