Trotskyism, they must be left to their
own fate. If TRENT and Giraud will
hesitate under pretext of the strug-
PIE against Trotskyism then stake
must be put on the group against the
current as the only group of our true
aGherents.
1T is most desirable to attract Ros-
mer to work in review against the
current 1t is necessary to have the
right relations with the group of
Monatte. We, viii have to form a
bloc with the revolutionary anarcho-
syndicalists.
Regarding Souvarine, he has, in
q number of questions, taken up the
wrong position. However, he is
talented historian and revolutionary
and we will not lose hope that his
path will join ours.
Regarding the Characterization
Opposition, it is necessary to be quite
clear on the matter soon. To the best
Of our knowledge, the Belgian Central
Committees position is Indefinitely
buffer-like Would it not be possible
to have the Belgian Central Commit
tee publish our materials for the
rarty's knowledge? 1t is necessary
to devote special attention to Belgian,
however, not relying upon the buffer
Of the Central Committee, but en-
deayoring to create reliable support
among the rank and file. French adj
herents should be instructed accord

Fear to be Sect
I'm Holland our documents were
published previously. How is it now?
IL conclusion we again take up the
talestion of one or two parties. We
are against second party and
against the Fourth International.
From the viewpoint of the interna-
tional working class as a whole. the
Opposition would place itself in the
hopeless position of a sect if it al
lowed itself to shift to position of
advocating Fourth International.
The question is of that of winning
ever the Communist International
Differences are deep enough to Justify
the existence of a left fraction. but
this fraction in 5 given period is a
,leans Of influence on the Commun-
ist Party"
The course of the second letter adj
dressed to certain Peter said: "The
fundamental task Of the Opposition
within the Communist International
sections are to win over the Commun-
ist Parties from within. 1t is not
right to consider that Thermidor has
taken the place of USSR. this would
mean to facilitate it actually.
Repudiate Thermidor.
'The class forces have not yet
spoken their decisive word, The pol
icy of the International Opposition
should be SO directed so as to work
together with the Opposition Com
,nunist Party of the U. S. S. r. to
prevent the further development of
the Thermidor and to reconquer the
positions lost by the proletariat.
"The petty bourgeois elements of
the Communist Party of the T. S. S. |
Il. are directing the Party and the
State, but they are compelled to seek
the support of the working class and
10 oppose world Imperialism. How
ever the energetic onslaught of the
hourgeoisie may cause decisive left
wards shift within the Party. The
Soviet Union, even under the given
direction, plays revolutionary part |
Of international scope.
"The existence of the U. S. S. r. |
throughout has been the source feed
ing the Chinese Revolution. The
leadership of the Communist Party
of the U. S. S. r. has doomed the
Chinese Revolution to defeat. We
must struggle against the leadership |
of the Communist Party of the u S.
S. R.. without putting ourselves in
opposition to the U. S. S. R
Admit j. S. S. r. Production.
This refers to the Communist
Party of the u s. S. r. and the Com
nunist International. If the OPPOSE
ton merely charges that the U. S. S. |
II. is a bourgeois state and that phe |
Communist Party of the U. S. S. R. |
and the Communist International are
petty bourgeois parties, it will be-
come sect.
Communists of capitalist coun-
tries must always emphasize three
moments: even under opportunist |
leadership, the Soviet States gives |
workers and peasants infinitely more
than bourgeois states would give on |
the same level of productive forces;
the main cause of the greatest inter-
,;al difficulties of the U. S. S. r. is
insufficient activity of the European |
proletariat and inadequate fighting |
capacity of the European Communist
Parties; the European Social Democ-
racy while Indignantly rejoicing about
the data on the internal difficulties of |
the U. S. s. r. bears the chief part
of the responsibility for these diff
culties.
