OTTO RUHLE

At war with the totalitarian states, primarily with German fascism, the democracies cannot be regarded as the arch-foe of the proletariat.

The Russian tactic is the tactic of authoritarian organization. It has been so consistently developed and in the end carried to extremes, by the Bolsheviks to the fundamental principle of centralism that it has led to over centralism.

No matter how hard we may try to revive Democracy, to help her once more stand on her legs, to breathe life into her, all efforts will be futile. All hopes for a victory of democracy over fascism are the crassest illusions.

For the laboring class there cannot exist a peace of compromise on the basis of a capitalist regime

We must continually stimulate the living politics of the street...it will be our task to try and break it (elections for the National Assembly) up by force.

This League of Nations, whatever its name, can be nothing else than a coalition of powers hostile to the workers and enemies of liberty; a Holy Alliance founded to crush the social revolution which is daily gaining ground.
