V. I. Lenin Collected Works, Vol. 31 Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1960, pp. 152-3 "Preliminary Draft Theses on the Agrarian Question" "The industrial workers cannot accomplish their epoch-making mission. . .if they. . . smugly restrict themselves to attaining an improvement in their own conditions, which may sometimes be tolerable in the petty-bourgeois sense. This is exactly what happens to the 'labor aristocracy' of many advanced countries, who constitute the core of the so-called socialist parties of the Second International; they are actually the bitter enemies and betrayers of socialism, petty-bourgeois chauvinists and agents of the bourgeoisie within the working-class movement."
