AN INTERVIEW WITH H. G. WELLS

23 July 1934

Fascism is a reactionary force which is trying to preserve the old system by means of violence. What will you do with the fascists? Argue with them? Try to convince them? But this will have no effect upon them at all. Communists do not in the least idealise the methods of violence. But they, the Communists, do not want to be taken by surprise, they cannot count on the old world voluntarily departing from the stage, they see that the old system is violently defending itself, and that is why the Communists say to the working class : Answer violence with violence; do all you can to prevent the old dying order from crushing you, do not permit it to put manacles on your hands, on the hands with which you will overthrow the old system.

It is a lie , if the Social Democratic leaders say that we communists would shatter the unity of the working class. Conversely, it is true that the Social Democratic leaders make a pact with the bourgeoisie to save her class rule of the capitalist class enemies and so to split the working class and the working people !
