pamphlet under discussion.
Lenin wrote in the pamphlet:
TN order to do something seri-
ouS, one must pass in a really
revolutionary way, from burocracy

against the oil kings and share
holders, decree The conisc2tiOn OF
their property, and jail sentences
for delaying the naturalization of
the oil industry, FOR cOncealing in

V4kS would be exposed before the
masses for what they really are.

tionary democracy" did not accept the
proposals. of Lenin, though they were
to oe carried out within the frame
work Of capitalism" They did not
do so because to accept Lenin's
proposals would undermine the rule
CT monopoly capitalism and revolu-
tonize the masses. And no repre-
sentative of the Second International
would ever allow this to happen!
The feminist strategy, in the bour-

In the First Address Of the Gen.
trail Committee of the Communist
League to It's Members in Germany. -
written in London, March, 1850, Marx

possible, bourgeois appeals for peace
by forcing the democrats to carry
out themselves their present ter
roristic phrases They must
demand guarantees for the workers
as soon as the bourgeois democrats
get ready to take over the govern
ment into their own hande. In
case Of necessity, they mast obtain
these guarantees by force, and es-
pecially they must see to 1t that
