Having thus rebuked the Right M. Stalin had an almost

equally severe rebuke for the Left. The Left, he said, was becoming desperate because it over-estimated the danger of Capitalism. It believed that if a victorious revolution in the West. did not hurry to the relief of Communist Russia the Proletarian Dictatorship must fall or be utterly transformed. We can see no sign of the Proletarian Dictatorship falling because there is nothing to take its place. It is much more likely, indeed almost certain, that it will be gradually transformed: It is obvious that the Communists have never succeeded in introducing Communism. Capitalism is in an enforce(' sleep but is everywhere ready to awake. There can be only one end to such a progress of events.
