Revolutionary Discipline
The Russian Communist Party has
been the party Of strong discipline
and GENERALIZATION. From that mem
orab1e discussion at the second con-
gress Of the Russian Sociai-Demo-
cratic Labor Party IN the summer of
1903 when Martov the Menshevik
defined membership In the party as
giving constant assistance to the
party" under the control of the organ
ization while the Bolshevik Lenin de-
handed personal participation (of
the members) In one Of its organiza,
tions," down to the last discussion
within the Russian Communist Party
by the end of 1923 when Trotzky was
understood to demand more demo-
cracy within the party and more free
dom from what he termed the rigid
rule of the old guard of Bolshevism
while the majority Of the Communist
Party sisted on maintaining stern
discipline akin to the dis
ciphne of military organization and
on keeping the old tried revolutionists
in leading positions, the question of
discipline, Of obeying the rule of the
majority, Of carrying out and defend
ing the policies of. the majority even
If they are against the. individual
members conviction, was paramount
in the Russian Communist Party. 1t
was due to this law of cohesion that
the Russian Communist Party could
attain to its present position.
The Russian Communist Party is
now the leading party of all the par
ties united in the Communist Interna-
tional. We all take the lessons of
the Russian Communist Party as
showing the way of proletarian die
tatorship to all countries now under
the iron heel of the capitalist state.
What are the main characteristics
of this party at PRESENT.
