COMINTERN

Jane Degras, ed., The Communist International: 1919-1943 Documents (London: Frank Cass & Co., Ltd, 1971) Vol. 1, p. 427.

 


"The communist parties must bear in mind that while every bourgeois government is a capitalist government, not every workers' government is a really proletarian government, that is, a revolutionary instrument of power. The Communist International must consider the following possibilities:

"1. Liberal workers' governments, such as there was in Australia; this is also possible in England in the near future.

"2. Social-democratic workers' governments (Germany).

"3. A government of workers and the poorer peasants. This is possible in the Balkans, Czechoslavakia, Poland, etc.

"4. Workers' governments in which communists participate.

"5. Genuine proletarian workers' governments, which in their pure form can be created only by the communist party.

"The first two types are not revolutionary workers' governments, but in fact coalition governments of the bourgeoisie and anti-revolutionary labour leaders."

[MC5 adds: The above was accepted by the COMINTERN including Lenin, Stalin, Zinoviev and Trotsky. Zinoviev was responsible for heading the COMINTERN while Lenin was alive.]
