"Every moment we have free from military activities, from war, we must devote to 
study."

Lenin, speech at Fourth Congress of Comintern



"It is better that ten men who work shall not call themselevs members of the 
Party (real workers do not chase after titles) than that one gas-bag should have 
the right and the opportunity to be a member of the Party." (1903, from Speech 
at the Second congress of the Party, p. 190 of <I>Lenin on Organization</I> 
Daily Worker Publishing, 1926

"Comrade Axelrod must certainly know that the <B> Girondists of the modern 
Social Democratic movement </B> frequently resort to terms like "Jacobinism" and 
"Blanquism" to describe their opponents. . . . Who warns us that the bourgeois 
intellectuals are thoroughly imbued with opportunism? <B> The Jacobins of Social 
Democracy. </B> . . . The real cause of the fear of conspiracy and of Blanquism 
is to be attributed not to the characteristics revealed in the practice of the 
movement (as Bernstein & Co. have been long and earnestly trying to prove), but 
to the Girondist timidity of the bourgeois intellectuals, whose psychology has 
so often betrayed itself among present-day Social Democrats." "One Step Forward, 
Two Steps Back," <I>Lenin on Organization</I> Daily Worker Publishing, 1926, pp. 
164-5.
