To whom exactly, and from whom, did you send the hundred roubles?

I firmly press your hand. Yours, Lenin

The slogan of peace is, in my opinion, incorrect at the present moment. It is a philistine, a priestly slogan. The proletarian slogan must be: civil war.

Objectively, from the radical change in the situation in Europe, such a slogan follows for the epoch of mass war. The same slogan follows from the Basle resolution.\(^1\)

We can neither “promise” civil war nor “decree” it, but we are obliged to carry on work—if need be, for a very long time—in that direction. From the article in the Central Organ you will see the details.* For the present I only outline the main points of the position so that we may come to a good understanding.
