"Formerly, the bourgeoisie presumed to play the liberal, 
defending bourgeois-democratic freedoms, and thereby gained
some popularity for itself among the people. Now not a trace
of this liberalism remains. There are no longer any
so-called "personal freedoms"--the rights of individuality
are recognized now only for those who have capital. . . 

"The banner of bourgeois-democratic freedoms has been thrown
overboard. In my opinion, it has fallen upon you, representatives
of Communist and democratic parties, to pick up this banner and
carry it forward if you wish to gather around yourselves the majority
of the people. There is no one else to raise it."

[Why this prediction was right: Although the united $tates has
extensive civics training on questions of individual rights,
in practice,

the united $tates has the highest imprisonment
rate in the world.</a> 

Meanwhile, throughout Europe fascist movements
are on the rise and have already achieved state power in 
Italy and Austria. Stalin said this would happen in 1952,
while the capitalist propagandists were all busy saying
that the world had learned its lesson about fascism. Quite the
contrary, imperialism continues to spawn fascism.]
