plenty of revolutionists throughout to

do that God knows the state's job is

containment we put out fires we

fortunately the same size and a gun side

rioters killed a hundred and forty

three wounded over two hundred arrests

made two dozen already hanged it's all

there in the fire we can win if we have

the will Majesty but we must make them

understand that we are serious and if we

are serious we must be coherent we must

be ruthless and above all we must be

intelligent

ordered a Grenadier regiment up from

Orenburg to burn a few houses and

again friend

there will be no revolution in Russia

based upon the personal heat some

marksmen the peasant is a petty

bourgeois we actually elevate an arch of

opponent of progress as what we have

honorably demonstrated when the

proletarian revolution has taken place

ridiculous calling ourselves socialist

urologist whaaaat [ __ ] Nadia

hi my good to have you with us

let me willow you know we expected you

weddings - that's what Sassoon except

she told me I'd find you here

yes well you know me I need an argument

i I need dialectic today is Wednesday do

you know I think no right comment

Joey drink that get your your arrival is

auspicious

defer my destruction of the anarchist

position it's a great place for

'anarchist is London Olivia let's talk

yes of course

yeah oh yeah not less you do it in here

yes good work what does the carnal thing

does it matter

Logano couldn't organize a trip to the

theater and God knows he's had enough

practice in any case he's a theoretician

organization isn't abstract enough for

George but has he approved the broad

strategy the Carlo fan axelrod have

agreed to leave it to my judgment that

is to say and support my view that we

should not only take a full party

Congress until our tendency has been

strengthened at the expense of all other

tendencies and the Iskra men have a

strong position within the party on the

ground then we can convene a Congress

which will recognize us as the leading

element and that won't happen until I

scratch one the minds of the party

workers oh how we have missed you

comrade face it what we have now is a

fragile chain of agents and contacts

spread thin across Europe and Russia

it's we you a week where Emmy Grey's

dilettante intellectual unreliable we

must change that and we must begin with

ourselves if we have to create an

organization of professional

revolutionaries whose duty is to devote

not only their free evenings but their

whole life to working for the revolution

in a year we must have built the embryo

of a party

each cell working implicitly from the

nucleus a center a source of power

what does yours say Peconic agrees

Ilyich is right we have to establish an

entirely new relationship between center

and periphery now I think I'd probably

want a wider membership than he appears

to envisage and I'd want more power in

the hands of local committees but on the

whole I agree with your perspective I

still think it's a pity about the

peasants what is they have revolutionary

potential - they need organizing - they

won't make the revolution the problem of

the peasant arises after the Revolution

when they are forced to bow to the

dictatorship of the proletariat then

we'll see how revolutionary they are it

seems a bit late leaving it till then

comrade what you propose to do about it

then may I ask shoot them all there are

millions of them I've discussed that at

length with you some other time comrade

s rich at the moment I'd prefer if you

stayed with the agenda that becomes

policy

look comrades we have a newspaper we

have an organization now we must find

the will then we will be fit to lead

until tomorrow the Bible reads comrade

Rhodes Pierre they're too soft with him

Julius do you want me know

you want to talk

perhaps with the wrong people no turning

into fossils Nadia Emme grave yes mrs

rooster who wants to know

Trotsky Bronstein the pen welcoming

comment I'm M never forget the forms we

heard you on on your way but I can't

pretend we were expecting you exactly

comrade would you be so good as to pay

the cabbie for me seems to be having

difficulty making himself understood on

the next floor first door on the right

comrade Lenin Trotsky the pen Trotsky I

thought you were branch day but

understand I got tired of Trotsky I

borrowed from a jailer just before I

escaped you think it suits you have a

letter something of course welcome to

London covering it's an honor to be here

comrade Lenin I'm entirely in your hands

tell me what I can do you tired no why

do you ask

doesn't matter come first you must tell

me what you know people trends

organization center cannot hold without

intelligence

coffee tea you've met our new comrade

the young eagle wasn't it Saburo Jets

called him something to do with the way

I hold my nose I think we need all the

eagles we can get tell me do you mind if

I remove my shoes how door breeze these

belong to Trotsky to think the least

they could do is provide waters with

sensible feet if I were one of the

celestial bodies I would look with

complete detachment upon this miserable

ball of dirt and dust

I would shine upon the good and the evil

alike but I am a man world history which

to you dispassionate gobbler of science

to you book keeper of eternity seems

only a negligible moment in the balance

of time is to me everything as long as I

breathe I shall fight for the future

a radiant future in which man strong and

beautiful will become the master of the

drifting stream of his history and

directed towards the boundless horizon

of beauty

joy and happiness it seems as if the new

century this gigantic newcomer were bent

at the very moment of its appearance on

driving the optimist into total

pessimism and civil nirvana

surrender you pathetic dreamer Here I am

your long-awaited 20th century your

future no replies the unbowed optimist

you are only the present have you shown

it to Pecan off no he's seen other

things of mine and he thinks my style is

florid and rhetorical what do you think

he's right but jaws always put style

first he's a great European he once said

not long ago that I had no style at all

in the French sense cause no it's not

the style which bothers me I think it's

too soft I don't understand all right

how do we achieve this future that you

talked about by struggle how else but

against who

the state and the classes who's

interested protects the duty of the

revolutionary is to fight those forces

and personalities which impede or

obstruct the socialist revolution that's

what I said no it isn't what you said

and you must see the difference the

future is less than six months away we

make the future with every new theory we

evolve every organizational change reset

in progress

there will be no revolution millions

will not be mobilized against the sorry

state unless we make it possible

we are Marxists we understand as the

anarchists and liberals cannot the

nature of power of the state and so on

but it is not enough to

no the world we must learn how to change

it and in order to do that we must first

and foremost build an organization a

party to develop the theory and lead the

revolutionary struggle

you see Ramin objectively the enemy can

be your best friend your lover your

party colleague the chairman of your

local branch the editor of your party

Journal the enemy is he who impedes the

course of the revolution God batter for

our comic Trotsky's nothing with the

czar with ourselves

Conrad Trotsky doesn't leave so he'll

miss fear violence mutton stew all right

think about it I want to stay for a

while work with this crime find yourself

and a word of advice don't become an

émigré these capital cities fat boos rah

they skew in if you let them live only

for the revolution in Russia you

understand yes I saw a fair bit of it in

Paris on my way here yeah see it here to

tell me about Paris Paris is like Odessa

only Odessa is better

I'm sorry comrade I mustn't miss my

mutton stew this is halal I hate parades

these are these are honors differences

in its right we should talk them out

let's see no need for personalities a

name-calling surely were beyond that

sort of thing

beg you comrades do you have further

criticisms of my programme via revolver

I simply say that as a program for the

second Congress of the Russian social

democratic party the or Guerra even if

na has made her point Ilyich it's quite

simple she prefers click on up stuff to

yours as to Axelrod and George himself

you fought wrestled and I prefer yours

if you press for about you give comrade

plaque on/off the opportunity as

chairman of the Iskra board to cast the

deciding vote in his own favor may I

make a suggestion please do give me the

two drafts let me see if I can't find

something in them to please everybody

what do you think

comrade Trotsky as a comrade I mean I

think it's probably possible to

safeguard your salient points within

picanha of sticks personally I think

Khan have staffed better suited to a

textbook of economics than a party

program look young man George Blake

Arnoff was running a revolutionary

movement when your father your mother

was still holding hands in the front

parlor yes I know he told me all right I

accept what you say Julius but I think

it's important to preserve the notion of

an all-out attack on Czarist absolutism

as well as capitalism and it must be

clearly understood through the program

we eventually agree that the

dictatorship of the proletariat means

just that it does not mean the

dictatorship of the proletariat in

conjunction with the peasants with those

two conditions I concede the need to

prepare a new Congress program based on

both drafts it looks like July comments

in Brussels questions

l would you mind waiting a little longer

each commuters asked if he might address

the meeting he's upstairs now

stairs why was this not on the agenda

comrade militant arrived ended this

afternoon from all ah I bring the matter

up only now because I didn't want the

main body of the meeting to be disrupted

I see what does comrade militant want I

think he should be allowed to tell us

that himself nevertheless comrade

million has it laid grave charges

against one of our own agents whom any

barman of charges Bauman got millions

wife with Charo during his exile in all

off after his escape he began to slander

her labelled her the [Â __Â ] of all often

even used our own underground networks

to revile her wasn't long naturally

before party workers in all off picked

up the stories to defend her honor as

she put it she hanged herself this is

her suicide note it's the best of the

party

Vieira Ivana up and has already seen it

so will you see him

no bye

Christ you will you what you won't see a

comrade who has traveled 4000 miles to

ask for justice from the party Oh what

did it say the party of the struggle for

the freedom the dignity and the

happiness of ma'am I fetch him in myself

you're a disgrace to the party

I've written to Picard off edging that

you'll be co-opted on to the board that

is if you still want it more than ever

she won't come back but she won't fing

involution unless we send for him and it

else yes

I haven't finished I want to know what

you intend doing about Baumann nothing I

think there should be an inquiry

Navya tell comrade martyr common bombers

role in the East crew Network I know his

Lowell conveyed don't play the

grandfather with me it doesn't work

don't be so childish bowman is an

outstanding agent not average not good

outstanding in party matters I would

trust him above anyone else I know now

you're asking that he be disciplined huh

expelled yes yes certainly if it's true

for personal misdemeanors let me tell

you comrade I rule an inquiry as being

out of order as outside the competence

of his secret and detrimental to the

interests of the party now if you want

my private views on the matter you can

have them privately

you can't separate private from public

like that don't you see that man we are

what we do you mean bomb and all of us

part in morality isn't simply loyalty to

the party is it's the highest level of

ethical consciousness yet afforded the

human species metaphysics Julius another

time perhaps we may speculate right now

we are trying to make the revolution

possible

so you'll do nothing I will do my duty

that is to say I would protect comrade

Bauman from any move on your or anybody

else's part to expel or discipline him

now be warned I think we should go you

go I want to speak with V area than

oakna I'll follow

it's simple see I'm the party right

party organ mmm-hmm

sounds looking busy right central organ

Central Committee see I'm the party

HM I'm the party

no I'm mmm mom

Julius you're not listening Marge off

you can't go on like this beloved yeah

let me get a doctor I want you to pack

the trunks I'm prepared to leave

we can't leave you're ill man do it who

do this try hmm to take a little breath

milk

listen tell Julius I want to see him

Julius is in Paris on route for Geneva

there's a meeting of the organising

committee did he call it blew up there

suddenly he left as soon as he heard of

the meeting he's still hurt bitter to

see who called him easy on the

organising committee

no he did try to rest rest

I rest when they rest no I must go to

Geneva to see black enough it looks as

if Julius he's making his bid for power

no no

I say the party must be built like a

fist like a brain board he wants a party

like a saucer fourth cars Hoss put down

for the cat

am i showing he's wrong

Thank You comrade

yeesh we meet again how are you

we've been worried about you recover

thank you sit down sit down

well we're almost there you've worked

hard the operative word is almost short

I've dreamed of this Congress for over a

quarter of a century you know that the

Congress that will unify the party with

Iskra as it's theoretical and

organizational center they exactly

covered but will it how do you mean we

risk run have 41 votes out of a total of

51 our principled opposition being the

Jewish born with five votes and the

workers cause on the southern workers

faction with to vote each theoretically

we of the Iskra group cannot fail to

dominate the Congress push through our

own resolutions elect our own people to

the Central Committee the question

remaining is who will control this club

doesn't this grass pick with one voice

what do you think you surprised me by

Gulf Coast up in personal frictions the

Bauman affair for example but surely

there's no evidence of ideological

division is own Shores Mart off has

tabled his own draft rules your

membership seen the agenda I must have

read them side by side yours and his and

I'm damned if I can see much choose

between them part of course from a

certain stylistic difference I'll tell

you the difference in a sentence yours

his rules allow anyone any opportunist

any windbag any professor any high

school student to proclaim himself a

member of the party whereas my rules our

rules yours

confine membership to a narrow Vanguard

of professional revolutionaries or in

strict Allegiant

to the party center that's the

difference I'm not sure that I accept

the definition of Martin's formulation

that you offer a leash well I think you

should George because comrade mucked up

certainly does now you sure

perfectly then I'd better speak to him

uh I think that might make matters worse

I think we should simply see to it that

his rules are defeated Oh

cameras argue persuade make sure of our

votes secure them keep them hard if they

look like softening I think we are the

right people to leave the Revolutionary

Party comrade become theory an

organization drawn together like that

what do you think let us build the party

comrade

I've always been fascinated by your

hardness it's always him to mizu man

relative I was a gentle enough charm one

thing I must insist on there should be

no place for the man

Trotsky on the new editorial board he's

too young and he's too arrogant

all right I withdraw my suggestion is it

still longer if the police stop is in

Brussels in it right well I don't

anticipate any trouble on Emir Mac

individual groups cannot recover it is

part it must be supreme so let me get

this straight

comrade if the Jewish bull refuses to

surrender to party control over its own

organization this Congress is prepared

to expel us from the party does that

mean I have to tell you yes then I

demand that this procedures committee

ruled that the resolution vehicle

despair must be as commissioners can

achieve the second anniversary coverage

comrades six delegates over the rest of

their jobs I'm informed that the Belgian

police are on their way here to break up

the speaking now comments the

contingency plan is an operative

Congress will reconvene in London in

four days time go now

go take care of krupskaya ah cover it

how fortunate we'll travel together I'm

sorry I couldn't get the car off to

co-opt you on board there was nothing I

could do now nothing comrade no of

course

well you're coming with me no I shall

make my own way

avoid personalities comrade they could

prove your downfall if we're dog power

Lenin's formula we should be throwing

overboard a section of those who even if

they cannot be admitted to an

organization are nevertheless party

members our party how the class comrades

we must take care that we do not leave

outside the party ranks those people who

consciously though perhaps not very

actively associate themselves with our

party indeed the more widespread the

trifle party member the better is right

all the Buffy for me a conspiratorial

organization only has meaning when it is

enveloped by a broad social democratic

working class party you're confusing a

party with a movement company they're

not the same thing Okami it is you who

are confused you confuse the party with

a bunch of professional thugs New York

hundreds reserved your abuse for the

enemy I look forward to the day comrades

when every striker every demonstrator

against the Czar and his regime accounts

for his actions by stating I am a member

of the Social Democratic Party of Russia

if you support that hope you will

support this motion comment you've heard

the arguments Matos and mine what we're

arguing about is both an image and a

reality if you support my motion you

vote for coherence organization

discipline above all for power at the

center you will say in effect that it is

important to distinguish between those

who belong to the party and those who

associate themselves with her you will

make the necessary distinction between

an entire class shaped by capitalism and

its Vanguard the party the title party

member is a fiction if it cannot be made

to correspond to the facts capitalism is

bound to weigh down white sections of

the working class with oppression

disunity stall Tiff's occasion social

democracy seeks to lift the worker out

of his present level of consciousness to

a genuinely revolutionary one but if we

fail to recognize the distinction there

is no way we can achieve that

but from our tarts proposal and you

create a teapot not a party of

revolutionaries ready to lead a class

into battle

yeah those in favor of comrade Lenin's

proposals on party membership

23 those in favour of comment matas

proposals

twenty-eight come Roboto proposals are

carrying

good fun oh yes there's nothing funnier

than watching a man commit political

suicide you think said today you have

entered into an opportunist alliance

with a center and right wing elements

you've surrendered your political

credibility I doubt it in any case you

want left me little option in the matter

you forced me to beat you

you've won a battle comrade the war has

only just begun

full porkers meeting tonight to discuss

our lists for Central Committee and

party council 7:30 sharp questions no

good bomb and whence the Commission on

the bun boys reporting back next week

sometime according the two preaching I

want to vote and the report first thing

tomorrow you seem to put a GLC pucara do

it now that concludes the lists of the

Central Committee's now I don't have to

remind you that the voting will be

sullen it we have outlived the wavering

days the bone I seen the gun off the bun

problem will be taken first thing

tomorrow to believe is your Commission

ready to report it will be fun no

problem nope right that's all now let's

cover the back up in with the other

comrades of left will you do you want me

what is happening Volodya I don't know

what you mean I was in caucus you had me

locked out why because you no longer

belong to the caucus why because my

motion won the majority in Congress

because your majority was based on an

openly opportunist alliance with the

swamp with those elements we as a

tendancy have been fighting for the last

year there was no alliance

I haven't spoken with the Bund since

Brussels believe it whadya come made

there are no fundamental differences

between us the compa simply sit down you

talk it out we share the same vision

conveyed we spent the night talking the

night before Siberia

don't you remember on and on building

the vision

tell me what I must do

I can't do that you must find that for

yourself the choice is clear you are not

to be tainted with the bun for the rest

of your days you must make it clear

tomorrow at your position is as it

always was the total authority over

activities of members shall be exercised

by the party center tonight and the

procedures committee have decided to

tackle the question the bunt once that

the Bund Commission hasn't reported yet

that's been taken care of if on the

other hand you decide that you need to

vote to the bund and other center

elements to gain control of the party

you will be exposed as an opportunist

and a counterfeit revolutionary choice

is yours there can be no question of my

cynically changing my position over

national autonomy within the party my

position is identical with yours as you

very well know comrade the point is not

that I know it the point is that the

whole party including the Bund knows it

I wanted to talk to you about the

composition of the new Central

Committee's there is a good argument for

building on the existing organizing

committee I mean there's nothing to talk

about

we've decided our list see

I see

have you also made recommendations as to

who should be elected dictator of the

party or will you be able to manage

without that I asked your question

Conrade white Axelrod was like what

wrestle was right you think your moves

yeah that's what they think by god

they're right now the vote itself those

against the Jewish Bund being allowed to

remain in the party

rty founding majority

there's no question of staying calm in

the insult and humiliation you have

dealt us will live with us many a day

like you we dream of and work for the

socialist revolution all we ask is that

we be allowed to do it in our own

language with our own people you denies

this basic right because of some

Napoleon who prays well we will continue

to work for the revolution with or

without the aid of the party we help to

form the core group wish to demonstrate

their solidarity with the bund against

the dictatorial tendencies that are

allowed we hereby withdraw

mr e seeks an opportunist it will not

be in my direction that it looks if it

does not label you an opportunist may

welcome you you're a fool

I believe it may very well call you both

now nominations for the new editorial

board of East Grau comrade Lenin we have

already in an earlier vote affirm the

role of a scrub as the ideological

center of our party it is now our duty

to elect its editorial board whose roles

will be to lay down party guidelines for

political action in the struggle against

the Russian state I have as you know

been associated with Eska since its

foundation three years ago and I think I

can say in all modesty that the work we

have done on the Iskra front has been of

decisive influence in the shaping and

development of our party but it is the

future not the past which calls us on

times change capacities change objective

circumstances change what our party

Journal requires now is a small nucleus

trained ideologues and organizers

capable of spreading the word far and

wide across the Russian Empire it is for

that reason that I propose to decrease

the number of seats from 6 to 3 and

furthermore I nominate is the editors

myself comic the cutoff and comrade

Marta

this is not possible

economy chairman haven't we already

voted for the continuance of the Easter

ball you bastard now you dirty stinking

dictatorial God if I have a pistol I'd

blow your rotten brains out sure you'll

never come regular you dictator you're a

bloody czar I see your cave Lenin hook

or by crook isn't it anyway so long as

it's your way

how do you care about loyalty and

service and dedication I spent a

lifetime into as Axl rotten Petraeus off

of devotion to this party and now what

do you do you cut it up just like that

to fall into the swamp you're no man to

lead this great movement and you you

whom I worshiped as a great mind and

comrade one of these days this man will

may I remind those coverage who now

revile conveyances UNIX that they are

availing the Khmer to shut the infamous

kernel Chapel of the Moscow secret

release when he ordered the flogging of

demonstrators against the Tsar

I will not accept nomination under these

arrangements you're not able to refuse

comrade under the laws you yourself

voted in only days ago I will not serve

that man

that man is not a good man

if this is comrade Lenin's image of the

party I want no part of it

what he has done today shames and

degrades all of us says Ulla Jan Axelrod

in particular have fought all their

lives to build the party and now here on

the brink of success they are ruthlessly

cut off sent out into the wilderness to

satisfy the insatiable lust for power of

one individual comrades we are

privileged to be listening to the sound

of party debate new style I so move

cognitive

we dedicate this great unifying Congress

to the memory of the man who lies here

in well goodbye coverage good luck

wherever your work may take you

okay

good

and I speak with the arrival nothing I

must

I did what I had to do but what you had

to do was not what had to be done

least I didn't destroy the party

yesterday the party was made not destroy

what is more history will prove it to be

the only party the only sort of party

capable of capturing state power you

seem to think a party is an organization

for the deliberation of complex model

choices a sort of political sewing

circle well you will not find the Czar

and von clever and trip often written on

the state apparatus sitting around

deliberating model choices they are

organizing their defences and there is

only one slogan that will defeat them

Salus populi Lex supreme arrest in

revolutionary language the success of

the revolution

is the supreme law now until you can say

that comrade and mean it history will

have no use for you

I suppose that will depend on who writes

the history

so Sulak whipped

she cannot understand why you have done

what you have done remember Millicent's

remember the peasant crouched over in

the field jerking his arms about

inexplicably we thought he was mad but

when we walked across the field and

reached him we saw at once that he was

sharpening his side on a stone from the

path it was impossible to say she has

nothing left she said there is nothing

to be done about that
