“[If] we were to make “recognition of the dictatorship [of the proletariat]” a condition of trade union membership, we should be committing a folly, we should be damaging our influence over the masses, we should be helping the Mensheviks. For the whole task of the Communists is to be able to convince the backward elements, to work among them, and not to fence themselves off from them…”

“What distinguishes bourgeoisie society from other class societies…?

It admits within its limits all variations of the scale from absolute monarchy to the democratic republic.”
