"Te position of the Moscow Rulers among the Governments of other
countries presents an unprecedented and, at first sight, an enigmatical
phenomenon. Never before did a government so frankly claim a world-
mastery; never has any one yet made so brutal an attempt on a people's
right to live a life it had worked out for itself through centuries; never
had that yet been so defiantly rejected what centuries and thousands of
years had created, — from frontiers and laws, to faith and innermost
emotions of a man’s or a peoples soul. The Moscow rulers acknowledge but
one end and aim to which all people on earth without exception should
aspire: viz., Communism, and but one all-saving order: that of the Soviets.
To replace the various national flags by their own red one, which should
be the only one for the whole of our planet, — this is the direct problem
the Bolshevics have set themselves to solve; this is what they are longing for,
and in their present condition cannot do but long for. Nevertheless the
peoples of Europe, and for the matter of that, of the whole world suffer
them, nay, more than suffer, — in one way or the other, to this or that
extent, — they support them; only a few turn awav from the Bolshevics.
and not one takes action against them.
Of all the constitutions existing now or having ever existed, only that
of the Soviets lovingly opens its arms to “all! all”, plotting in anticipation
of annexing to the Soviet Union any country made happy by the Soviet
system; the frontiers of the Soviet Empire are open to one and all, and
are to close only then, when the entire humanity will be languishing under
the Bolshevic burden. But, as no one has ever been known to place his
neck under the yoke voluntarily, the Soviet rulers do not wait to be looked
for. Wherever there is bloodshed, or wherever it may occur; wherever a
revolt is raging, or may be aroused; wherever there is rottenness and
decay, — there the black hand of the Soviet is at work. In China and
Morocco, in Mexico and on the Balkan Staates, in Hamburg, Sofia, Vienna
or Java and in India, in the coal districts of Great Britain, — everywhere
the fire has been kindled and blown high by Moscow’s emissaries. Europe
