How ever, an answer to this question is of decisive im' portance if we are to understand in the future the fate of all these "dual composition" parties and have a clear idea of their very conception which throws us back far behind not only the program of the C.P.S.U. of 1919, but even the manifesto of the Communist Party of 1847. The question as to what has become of the celebrated nine-tenths becomes clear to us only if we understand, first, the impossibility of a dual com", position, that is, a dual class Party, expressing simultaneously two mutually exclusive historical lines —the proletarian and petty-bourgeois lines—secondly, the impossibility to have in capitalist' sc ciety an independent peasant party, that is, a party independent of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. Marxism has always taught, and that was accepted by Bolshevism, that the peasantry and the proletariat are two different classes, that every identification of their interests in capitalist society is false, and that the peasant can join the Communist Party if, from the property viewpoint, he adopts the views of the proletariat. An alliance of the workers and peasants under the proletarian dictatorship does not do away with this fact, but confirms it, only in a different way, and under different circumstances.
