"He allowed, at a certain phase
and at a certain time, the possibility
of q bloc and even an alliance with
the nationalist bourgeoisie of colonial
countries if it fights against imper-
ialism and if it does not interfere
with Communists educating theswork-
ers and poor peasants in the Commu-
mist spirit. The Opposition definite
ly breaks with this attitude, adopting
the attitude of the Second Interna-
tional, denying the expediency of
supporting revolutionary wars in
colonial countries against imperial
ism. This explains the deductions
drawn by the Opposition from the
Chinese revolution.
Denies United Front.
"Sixthly, the united front question
in the international labor movement.
The Opposition breaks with feminist
tactics on the question of the gradual
winning of the working class masses
for Communism. The Opposition def

come, what are its social roots? The
social roots of the opposition lie in
the dissolution of the petty bourgeois
strata owing to our development, in
their discomfort with the proletarian
dictatorship, in their aim at changing
the regime, in improving" it in the
spirit of bourgeois democracy. | said
above that as result of our progress,
as a result of the development of
our industry, as result of the grow
ing relative strength of Socialist eco
nonic forms, one section of the petty
bourgeoisie, particularly the urban
bourgeoisie, becomes ruined and sinks
to the bottom. The Opposition re-

"The results of joint work with
Trotsky were shown by Kamenev in
special pamphlet published in 1911
entitled 1.-TWO Parties" No doubt
the pamphlet was very useful to all
comrades who still cherished illusions
