{ { Revolution is war } }

For no. 6—wouldn't it be good to write an editorial on the theme: Trial mobilization. Mobilization of the proletarian army.

2

It would be important to note in the article on mobilization of proletarian forces (the title, it seems, won't do, since it is too general, almost stereotypically general, does not express the transition of the proletarian movement into revolution) the following:

1) A tremendous broadening of the base of revolution is given by the gigantic agitational role. 9.1. One can shift many auxiliary, supplementary functions onto new, incoming forces, and allow purely (conscious) revolutionary elements to devote themselves more to the most urgent revolutionary tasks.

2) Broadening the base for organization: a mass of auxiliary circles must be created and can be created for insurrection, for revolution.

3) The practical goal—the overthrow of the government—must be practically discussed and clarified already as the immediate goal, as the "tomorrow's demonstration."
