the elementary problem of the bour-
geois democratic revolution. On the
other hand, it is almost impossible
for the bourgeoisie to enter into any
compromise with the peasantry, since
in China even the scantiest land re-
form would involve the appropriation
of the gentry and small land owners.
an action of which the bourgeoisie is
absolutely incapable. 1t is therefore
much more likely that the temporary
defeat of the revolution will be fol-
loweds in comparatively short time
by a fresh revolutionary advance.
27. At the present time the Com
munist Party of China is Party
against which the fire of all the OPP
ponents of revolution is directed. 1t
is confronted by the most difficult
and responsible tasks. First OF all
it must free itself from the iquida-
tory elements in its own ranks, recog-
nize the errors which it's leaders have
committed, consolidate the Party on
the basis of the instructions of the
Comintern, reform the leadership, ap-
point new leaders from among the
members possessing actual revolu-
tionary experience, and at the same
time extend it's illegal apparatus in
the Wuhan territory.
The Communist Party must carry
on an energetic and systematic fight
against all theories which bring into
conflict interests of the class strug-
gle of the workers and peasants.
These counter-revolutionary ideas,
spread abroad by the betrayers of the
revolution (Chiang Kai-Shek, Feng
Yu Hsiang, Wan Ting-Wei etc. who
deceitfully hide themselves beneath
the cloak of Sun-Yat Senism, have
as their object the subsection of the
masses of the people to the interests
and the leadership of the counter
revolutionary unification of China,
and it's emancipation from the yoke
of imperialism are only possible on
the basis of the class struggle of the
broadcast masses of the workers and
peasants against the feudal lords and
capitalists.
Further, the Communist Party
must take all measures necessary to
arouse the lower strata of the Left
Kuomintang against the upper, and
must institute an energetic campaign
to this end. At the same time the
Communist Party must carry on en-
ergetic propaganda for the idea of
Soviets.
Should the efforts of the Com
munist Party for the revolutioniza-
tion of the Kuomintang not meet
with success, and should it be found
impossible to democratize this organ
ization and to convert it into
broad mass organization of the work
ers and peasants; and should, on the
other hand, the revolution make a
fresh advance, then it will be neces-
sary to change the propaganda slo-
gan of Soviets into a slogan of inn
mediate fight and to proceed at once
to the organization of workers peas
ants and artisans Soviets.
At the same time every effort
must be made to develop the agrarian
movement, to employ every means to
arm the workers and peasants, and
to lay the foundations for a really
revolutionary workers and peasants
army. The Party must systemati-
cally expose the treachery of Chang
Kai-Shek and Wuhan, ruthlessly tear
every mask from their faces, and act
as the real advance guard of the
working class, fighting for the hege-
mony of the working class and march
at the head of the broadest masses
of the peasantry and the city poor.
