| Transcript | with more skilled Party workers. Our Party cells, particularly in the factories, also require a serious reorganisation of their work. In the direction of the reconstruction of the work of the unions, Soviets and the Party, and also of other organisations of the working class, there is still considerable work ahead of us. 4. INTERNAL PARTY PROBLEMS. Now as to the tasks arising directly from our internal Party policy. It should not be forgotten that the successes we have won have been possible only thanks to our stubborn and systematic fight against distortions of the Leninist policy of the Party, against all deviations from Leninism. Events move so fast that we do not always remember clearly enough the stages we have gone through. Yet after the 10th Plenum of the E.C.C.I., i.e., in quite recent months, we have had in the C.P.S.U. some very momentous happenings. Amongst these must be classed the rout of the Right wing and their subsequent capitulation. This fact has been of great importance, not only for the C.P.S.U., but for the whole Communist International. It had its influence on the attitude of various groups in other parties. The latest news of the capitulation of some of the Right wingers in Germany, e.g., Ewert and others, confirms this conclusion. During the same time the final disintegration of the Trotskyist cadres has taken place. You are aware that the overwhelming majority of the Trotskyists, together with their most prominent leaders, have capitulated and recognised the correctness of the Party's policy and the mistaken character of their own views. Trotsky retains only a miserable group who are unknown by the workers. All this must be put down to the credit of the Party. But, comrades, we are not concerned with the laurels of the victor. We are concerned above all with the principle at Sta The principle involved in the struggle against the Right opportunists—the opportunists of the frank type—and against the "Left" opportunists—those of the Trotskyist persuasion—we must recall again and again. Without overcoming these Right and "Left" deviations we should never have the successes which the proletariat of the U.S.S.R. has achieved to-day. The struggle against Trotskyism was a struggle for a Leninist policy in respect of the main ally of the proletariat in the U.S.S.R. —for an alliance with the middle peasantrv. Without routing Trotskyism, without exposing its anti-revolutionarv essence to the bitter end, we should not have been able to make our alliance with the middle peasant so firm and powerful as it had to be to carry out collectivisation. Without this alliance, led by the working class in power, the building of socialism is impossible. Yet the very 44 I |
