First of all, Bolshevism represents revolution and the revolutionary struggle.

All peoples are entangled in the net of the world market.

The struggle for socialism is the struggle for proletarian (working class) democracy. Proletarian democracy is not the crown of socialism. Socialism is the result of proletarian democracy. To the degree that the proletariat mobilizes itself and the great masses of the people, the socialist revolution is advanced. The proletariat mobilizes itself as a self-acting force through its own committees, unions, parties, and other organizations.

Capitalism has socialized production. It has brought thousands of people together in the factory and involved them in new social relationships.

It is in revolutionary periods that the culmination of previous trends and the beginning of new ones appear.

It is over one hundred years since the abolition of slavery. The Negro people in the United States have taken plenty and they have reached a stage where they have decided that they are not going to take any more.

The international proletariat first appeared on the scene in the early Thirties of the nineteenth century, and its first great action was the French Revolution of 1848.
