"An Alien Philosophy"

They say Communism is alien and unpatriotic, emanating from Moscow—unlike the Roman Church, who merely take their orders from a cabal of Italian bishops in Rome. They say that, because the Russian Government is Communist, therefore all Communists are Russian.

But the Russian Communists were accused of being German spies. The German Communists were accused of being in the pay of the English, since Marx lived in England; and English radicals were always suspected of being Frenchmen in disguise.

The truth is that Communism, like the working class, is native to every land. It knows no frontiers.
