第15章 III SOCIALIST AND COMMUNIST LITERATURE(5)

They hold fast by the original views of their masters， in opposition to the progressive historical development of the proletariat. They， therefore， endeavour， and that consistently， to deaden the class struggle and to reconcile the class antagonisms. They still dream of experimental realisation of their social Utopias， of founding isolated "phalansteres，" of establishing "Home Colonies，" of setting up a "Little Icaria" -- duodecimo editions of the New Jerusalem -- and to realise all these castles in the air， they are compelled to appeal to the feelings and purses of the bourgeois. By degrees they sink into the category of the reactionary conservative Socialists depicted above， differing from these only by more systematic pedantry， and by their fanatical and superstitious belief in the miraculous effects of their social science.

They， therefore， violently oppose all political action on the part of the working class； such action， according to them， can only result from blind unbelief in the new Gospel.

The Owenites in England， and the Fourierists in France， respectively， oppose the Chartists and the Reformistes.

第一章IV. POSITION OF THE COMMUNISTS IN RELATION TO THE VARIOUS EXISTING OPPOSITION PARTIES

Section II has made clear the relations of the Communists to the existing working-class parties， such as the Chartists in England and the Agrarian Reformers in America.

The Communists fight for the attainment of the immediate aims， for the enforcement of the momentary interests of the working class； but in the movement of the present， they also represent and take care of the future of that movement. In France the Communists ally themselves with the Social-Democrats， against the conservative and radical bourgeoisie， reserving， however， the right to take up a critical position in regard to phrases and illusions traditionally handed down from the great Revolution.

In Switzerland they support the Radicals， without losing sight of the fact that this party consists of antagonistic elements， partly of Democratic Socialists， in the French sense， partly of radical bourgeois.

In Poland they support the party that insists on an agrarian revolution as the prime condition for national emancipation， that party which fomented the insurrection of Cracow in 1846.

In Germany they fight with the bourgeoisie whenever it acts in a revolutionary way， against the absolute monarchy， the feudal squirearchy， and the petty bourgeoisie.

But they never cease， for a single instant， to instil into the working class the clearest possible recognition of the hostile antagonism between bourgeoisie and proletariat， in order that the German workers may straightaway use， as so many weapons against the bourgeoisie， the social and political conditions that the bourgeoisie must necessarily introduce along with its supremacy， and in order that， after the fall of the reactionary classes in Germany， the fight against the bourgeoisie itself may immediately begin.

The Communists turn their attention chiefly to Germany， because that country is on the eve of a bourgeois revolution that is bound to be carried out under more advanced conditions of European civilisation， and with a much more developed proletariat， than that of England was in the seventeenth， and of France in the eighteenth century， and because the bourgeois revolution in Germany will be but the prelude to an immediately following proletarian revolution.

In short， the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.

In all these movements they bring to the front， as the leading question in each， the property question， no matter what its degree of development at the time.

Finally， they labour everywhere for the union and agreement of the democratic parties of all countries.

The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims.

They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.

Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution.

The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.

They have a world to win.
