imperialistiC war into Il civil war;
His aim was TO force upon Russia
Communism, and to summon the dis
contented OF the world to rise in rev
olution against their governments. All
existing governments were vile, lenine
said. and they must be overthrow.
Political action, parliamentary meth
DDS, peaceful voting, were worse than
useless. They were inventions of the
devil, Capitalism. Force must be
used the workers must arm them
selves and fight; the world could not
come to the eight of freedom and
justice except through blood lie.

Leninc decrics anyone and every
one who does not accept his gospel of
world revolution. He Is particularly
bitter towards socialists who are or.
posed to his program. Writing of
"the military program of the proletar

ticle in the November "Class Struggle"
for 1919: "Whoever. In view of this
last war, is not willing to carry out
this demand. let him be good enough
to refrain from uttering large words
about the international revolutionary
democracy. about the social revolution
and about the war against wars"
OF those who have dared to de.
nounce militarism and demand disarm-
ament Lenine has written:
"What will tho proletnriat women do
to prevent this? Merely denounce aIl
wars and mlitarism? Merely demand
