Comrades, in every country communist leaders are enduring unprecedented sacrifices; they are dying by the thousands in Finland, Hungary, and other nations. Yet no persecution can halt the rise of communism, and the heroism of fighters such as Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg fills us with vigor and unwavering faith in the ultimate victory of communism. (The speech of Comrade Lenin is met with thunderous cheers. The “Internationale” is sung.)
