Stalin thihks the events.! results of a com

private ownership of tV means of production, but
social, collective ownership, (b) TVre will V no
dasssa or state, but workers in industry and agri
culture managing their economic affairs as a free
association of toilers, (c) National economy will

on the highest technique in both industry and agri
culture. (d) Science and art will enjoy conditions
conducive to their higVst dewlopment (e) The
individual, freed from brand and bitter caret, and
of necessity of cringing to the ‘powerful of the
earth,' will become really free."

ferent from all other revolution* in that* one
economic order replaced a different one on an in*
ternational, not a national, basis. TVre was no
mere transfer of political Sovereignty, nor tV mere
substitution of one party for another. Harold Laski
