Revolutionary chauvinism is based on the class position of the petty bourgeoisie.
The latter always vacillates between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. At the moment the Trudoviks, the Socialist-Revolutionaries, Nasha Zarya, Chkheidze's Duma group , the Organising Committee, Mr. Plekhanov and the like are political spokesmen for this petty bourgeoisie in Russia. Under the present governments, neither Germany nor Britain and France would accept this condition. There is no doubt that a victory of the proletariat in Russia would create extraordinarily favourable conditions for the development of the revolution in both Asia and Europe. Even 1905 proved that.
