Epilogue
I CANNOT END my story without regarding the present state of affairs in the ranks
of the German workers, which is of the greatest interest to the anti-nationalist
working class as a whole.
It is quite true, the German labouring masses tied to an outmoded system and under
the pressure of a careerist leader dictatorship have lost their long and bloody revolutionary
battles. But so have until now the great masses in all countries. In fact, the German working class in general, though tortured with terrible suffering, is contrary
to nationalistic idiocy, free from any kind of race hatred, nationalism, and so-called
patriotism.
Nevertheless, they knew that they have under conditions which often were the logical
outcome of their own activities, failed to defeat 'Fascism' and that they therefore
strive to value the arguments of their class-conscious fellow workers abroad. But
they cannot be expected to change their present nationalistic hangman for another nationalistic
hangman.
Equipped with an empirically organised underground network, using continually changing
methods, the German revolutionary workers are trying their utmost to inform the masses
as to just what is going on, so that they will more readily understand the true situation. These fellow workers cannot be fooled by any nationalistic propaganda.
They are aware that to destroy 'Fascism' which is more or less the ruling form of
the capitalist powers today the workers of all lands must destroy capitalism, and
that this can be achieved only on the basis of true working class solidarity. The
time is not far away, when it cannot be ignored any longer that considerable parts of the German
working class have resolutely fought for the great cause, and are even in the time
of the darkest reaction, still fighting in the forefront of the revolutionary proletariat.
Let the nationalists, who are surely the last to be entitled to throw stones at anyone,
shout spreading their lies and mockery at the real fighters for freedom, this will
only strengthen and raise the spirits of the anti-nationalist forces and, in process
of time remove the scum of human community.
