[UAH] Quote by V.I. Lenin

Begin forwarded message:

"I assert," Lenin wrote, "1) that no revolutionary movement can endure without a stable organization of leaders that maintains continuity; 2) that the wider the masses spontaneously drawn into the struggle… the more urgent the need of such an organization, the more solid this organization must be…3) that such an organization must consist chiefly of people professionally engaged in revolutionary activity; 4) that in an autocratic state the more we confine the membership of such organization to people who professionally engaged in revolutionary activity and who have been professionally trained in the art of combating the political police, the more difficult will it be to wipe our such an organization, and 5) the greater will be the number of people of the working class and of the other classes of society who will be able to join the movement and perform active work in it."   From the book, History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks Short course 1939 edition, edited by the Central Committee of the C.P.S.U.  p. 33
