7 with its Presidium of l9 Persenen and the Political Secretariat of 7 persons (Secretary-General Dimitrow), among them various special secretariats and geographically structured offices. b. Working methods of the Comintern after the 7th World Congress The tactical line of Comin-tern policy for the coming years was established at the 7 th World Congress in 1935. The main direction here was the presentation by Dimitrov "The offensive of capitalism and the tasks of the Comintern in the struggle for the unity of the working class against fascism". The basic line of this presentation shows the following sentence: "In view of the tremendous danger of fascs ... the VII, world congress of the Comintern, declares that the production of the united front of the workers' klasse in the present historical epoch is the most important, closest task of the international workers' movement." The united front slogan was accordingly raised as both an internal political weapon and as a foreign policy tactic to the guideline of the entire Cominternal work. 1) The united front as a means of domestic political struggle includes the following specific objectives: a) Cooperation with the social democratic parties (model example: France; possibly from below_force); b) Unity of the trade union movement c) Wide anti-fascist popular fronts (tactics of the Trojan horse) 2) The united Front as a foreign policy tactic aims to encircle the authoritarian states (especially Germany) under the slogan "struggle for peace and against the imperialist war". In detail, the aim is: a) Further expansion of the Soviet Union as a "base of the proletarian world revolution" (armament of the red army)
