m, or
capitalism, had its ways and means of labour compulsion and
labour education in the interests of the exploiters.

The Soviet system is faced with the task of developing its
own methods of labour compulsion to attain an increase of the
intensity and wholesomeness of labour; this method is to be
based on the socialization of public economy in the interests
of the whole nation.

In addition to the propaganda by which the people are to be
influenced and the repressions which are to be applied to all
idlers, parasites and disorganizers who strive to undermine
public zeal--the principal method for the increase of
production will become the introduction of the system of
compulsory labour.

In capitalist society rivalry assumed the character of
competition and led to the exploitation of man by man. In a
society where the means of production are nationalized, labour
rivalry is to increase the products of labour without
infringing its solidarity.

Rivalry between factories, regions, guilds, workshops, and
individual workers should become the subject of careful
organization and of close study on the side of the Trade
Unions and the economic organs.

The system of premiums which is to be introduced should become
one of the most powerful means of exciting rivalry. The system
of rationing of food supply is to get into line with it; so
long as Soviet Russia suffers from insufficiency of
provisions, it is only just that the industrious and
conscientious worker receives more than the careless worker.

It must be remembered that even the "industrious and conscientious
worker" receives less food than is required to maintain efficiency.

Over the whole development of Russia and of Bolshevism since the
October revolution there broods a tragic fatality. In spite of outward
success the inner failure has proceeded by inevitable stages--stages
which could, by sufficient acumen, have been foreseen from the first.
By provoking the hostility of the outside world the Bolsheviks were
forced to provoke the hostility of the peasants, and finally the
hostility or utter apathy of the urban and industrial population.
These various hostilities brought material disaster, and material
disaster brought spiritual collapse. The ultimate source of the whole
train of evils lies in the Bolshevik outlook on life: in its dogmatism
