So Stalin. with his usual practical realism. modified Marx and shifted the major emphasis and effort to getting a revolution in the nonindustrialized countries. the backward areas of Asia. which we have ignored heretofore. and still ignore in this bill. It was in 1928just 25 years agothat they adopted their "Theses on the Revolution in the Colonies and SemiColonies." The target was still Europe and America. but the way to get it was to work first in Asia where they could more easily subvert the weak governments there as the people struggled to overthrow colonial control by the West. or to develop real independence. The Communists could not subvert the Government of the United States. they could not subvert the Government of Sweden. they could not subvert the Government of England. but maybe they could subvert the governments of these Asiatic countries newly emerged from centuries of colonialism. Just look at the success the Kremlin has had since- it turned its attention to Asia. I repeat. as the way to get Europe and America.
