Dictatorship can be established only by a victory of socialism in different<br />

countries or groups of countries, after which the proletariat republics<br />

would unite on federal lines with those already in existence, and this<br />

system of federal unions would expand . . . at length forming the World<br />

Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. 4<br />

<strong>The</strong> blueprint was further developed by William Z. Foster, national chairman of the<br />

Communist Party, U.S.A., from 1933 to 1957, when he wrote:<br />

A Communist world will be a unified, organized world. <strong>The</strong> economic<br />

system will be one great organization, based upon the principle of<br />

planning now dawning in the USSR. <strong>The</strong> American Soviet government<br />

will be an important section in this world government. . . .<br />

Once the power of the bourgeoisie is broken internationally and its<br />

States destroyed, the world Soviet Union will develop towards a<br />

scientific administration of things, as Engels describes. <strong>The</strong>re will be no<br />

place for the present narrow patriotism, the bigoted nationalist<br />

chauvinism that serves so well the Capitalist warmakers. 5<br />

By 1945 the blueprint was being drafted into its final form. Delegates from countries all<br />

over the world were preparing to participate in a conference at San Francisco which was<br />

to mark the creation of something to be called the United Nations. Earl Browder, well<br />

known past leader of the United States Communist party, in his book Victory and After,<br />

stated: "<strong>The</strong> American Communists worked energetically and tirelessly to lay the<br />

foundations for the United Nations, which we were sure would come into existence." <strong>The</strong><br />

April 1945 issue of the Communist periodical Political Affairs explained to its readers the<br />

importance of getting the capitalist countries committed to this international body. It<br />

pointed out that since Russia would be one of the dominant voices in the UN, it could be<br />

used to prevent other countries from acting independently against Communism. <strong>The</strong><br />

magazine stated:<br />

Victory means more than the military defeat of Nazi Germany. It means<br />

the collapse of anti-Soviet policies and programs as dominant<br />

tendencies within the capitalist sector of the world. It means that the<br />

policy predominant during the interwar years of attempting to solve the<br />

world crisis at the expense of the Soviet Union is replaced by the policy<br />

of attempting to solve the crisis through cooperation with the Soviet<br />

Union. 6 [Italics added.]<br />

Five months later the Communists printed a pamphlet entitled <strong>The</strong> United Nations which<br />

further explained what function they had in mind for the United Nations. To be sure, it was<br />

not the function of "peace" that Americans anticipated. <strong>The</strong> pamphlet said: "It [the San<br />

Francisco conference] met to outlaw war. But everyone knows that war cannot be<br />

abolished until imperialism [i.e. capitalism] is abolished." It went on to explain that there<br />

were four primary reasons why Communists should support the United Nations:<br />

1. <strong>The</strong> veto will protect the USSR from the rest of the world.<br />

2. <strong>The</strong> UN will frustrate an effective foreign policy of the major capitalist<br />

countries.
