Excerpt from A. B. C. Of Communism, Vol. 1 Russian Proverb. Can best be advanced, and who organize themselves in a party. The whole working class, therefore, does not belong to the party, but its best and most energetic members does. These members lead the others. To the workers' party (the Bolsheviki) the best workers and peasants attach them selves; to the party of the landlords and capitalists Party of Peoples' Freedom the most ener getic landlords, capitalists, and their servants: lawyers, professors, officers, etc., belong. Consequently every party represents the most thoughtful members of its class. There fore, a landlord or capitalist, who is in an organized party, can better fight workers and peasants than one who is not. Similarly, organized workers can more successfully fight capitalists and landlords than those who are unorganized. The former have reflected upon the aims and the interests of the working class; they know how these interests can best be served; and they know the shortest way to their goal All those aims which a party strives to realize, while representing the interests of its floss, constitute a party program. In the program is therefore shown what a cer tain class aspires to. In the program of the Communist Party is consequently shown what the workers and poor peasants strive for. A program is a most important thing for a party. From a program we can always ascertain whose interests are represented by the party to whichthe program belongs.
