34 SOCIAL SCIENTIST man working class. And the Nazi dictatorship was smashed only by the dictatorship of the proletariat in the Soviet. Bernstein at least had not the experience of Nazi rule when he allowed his revisionist imagination to run riot. But what can we say of his successors who return to his reasoning to convince others that things can be arranged peacefully under the State of the capitalist class and that the exploiting class will faithfully observe democratic norms? In any case it ou^ht to show that Carrillo's reasoning for rejecting the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat, rejecting revolution and putting his faitfe In tne parliamentary path alone, is not original. It dates from fitly years back and produced disastrous consequences for the German working class. Santiago C'arrillo, op cit., p 149. Ibid, pp 149-150. Ibid, p 150. Ibid.p 155. Ibid.

Der Spiegel (the West German big bourgeois organ), of 12th December 1977, reported as follows: ^Leading members of West European (Spanish, Italian) CPs have embarked upon a public relations foreign policy initiative. Garrillo was invited to speak at American Universities and seems to have done a great deal to popularise the image of an Iberian Socialism. He assured the American intellectuals that a communist can be a reasonable person who does not want to wage a war (against America/" In New Haven, he assured American industrialists that their interests would be protected. Only Gus Hall (American GP)' seems to be critical. In order to speak in Yale, Carrillo had to ignore the strike posts of the Yale staff which was agitating for its own demands. The same paper reports an interview with Manuel Azecarte (Spain) and Lucio Lombardo-Radico (PCI) whose main points are as follows: There is need for a united and independent Ewope which is free of both American and Soviet influence.
