Plan after p. 12 M. S[123].

1. Expansion of the movement and liberation of the revolutionary from semi-legal functions. Cultural worker. Strike organizer. {Legal Marxist.}

2. Now. Gusev's letter in No. 8. Popular agitation, the street, conquered freedom. Legal press on universal suffrage.

3. Utter absurdity of the slogan: "workers' self-activity." Social-democratic self-activity.

4. Are we falling behind? No, not so much that, but rather the actual relationship of our party to the class and classes is being revealed. The role of the party as the vanguard of the class, as educator and organizer, acquires paramount significance. Until now almost only we have spoken; now hundreds of other voices. *Tant mieux!*[124]

5. "Wartime." Hundreds of circles = created new channels for new streams. Scope of revolutionary work. Broadly recruited circles enter the party and attach themselves to the party. Events teach. Do not fear youth. Struggle teaches. The political grouping of a stormy epoch teaches. Those on the right teach.
