adapted to the conditions and aims
of its work Under the reformist
policy of the social-democratic parties,
which endeavoured to exert an in
fiuence upon the bourgeois govern
ment by means of the ballot box, it
was natural that attention should be
chiefly directed to the organization
of voters. The organization, there
fore, was based upon electoral divi-
sions and residential areas. The Com
munist Party inherited this form of
organization from the social-demo-
cratic parties, but it is entirely op-
posed, not only to the final aims of
the Communist Party, but also to its
immediate tasks. The final aim of
our Party is to overthrow the power
of the bourgeoisie, seize power for
the working class, and bring Com
munism into being. It's immediate
tasks are to win the majority of the
working class by active participation
in the everyday struggles of the work
ing masses, and to secure the leader
ship of these struggles. This can
only be achieved by means of the
closest contact between our Party or
CARNATIONS and the working masses
in the factories.
1t was from this point of view that
the Third Congress of the Commun-
list International decided that the
basis of the Communist Party must
be the factory nuclei. In the majority
of the Sections of the Communist In
ternational this has not yet been car
ried into effect; and in many, the
question of organizing factory nuclei
has not even been concretely formu-
lated. The experience of the German
revolution, lat the end of 1929 once
more clearly demonstrated that with
out factory nuclei and the closest con-
tact with the working masses, it is
impossible to draw the latter into the
struggle and to lead them, that it is
impossible to gauge their moods ac-
curately and thus take advantage of
the most favorable moment for our
action, and that it is useless to ex-

The Fundamental Forms of Local
Organization.
1. The Factory Nuclei form the
Basis of the Party Organization. All
Communists working in a factory
must be members of the nucleus in
that factory.
Note: Where there are only one or
two Party members in factory and
therefore they cannot form a nucleus,
they are to be attached to the nucleus
of the nearest factory, which must
conduct the work in all adjacent fac
tories where there are no nuclei
2. Communists who do not work in
factories, workshops, shops, etc.,
housewives, domestic servants, house
porters, etc. form Residential Party
Nuclei.
Note: Members of factory nuclei
who live in other sections are obliged
to register with the committee of the
section (part of the town. where they
reside. The section committee as
signs them to residential nuclei. Mem
bers Of Party nuclei of other sections
who are assigned by Section Commit
tees to residential nuclei, vote in
these nuclei on questions which they
have voted on in the factory nuclei,
Questions of Party principle, election
of Party delegates, etc.
8. Unemployed members remain at
tached to the nucleus of the factory
where they were formerly employed.
In the event of protracted unemploy-
ment, with the consent of the sec
ton committee, they may leave their
nucleus and be transferred to the sub
section where they live, and be at
tached to another nucleus.
4. In small Industrial centres, towns
and villages, where the workers re-
side in close proximity to their fac
tories, or farms, uniform nuclei are
