THREE NOTES ON THE DRAFT MANIFESTO

I.

AGAINST PACIFISM

Arguments against the slogan of a democratic or proletarian peace

1) The true state of affairs is concealed: imperialist policy, which is preparing an imperialist peace...
2) The roots of this policy lie in the economic conditions of imperialism.
3) A reformist solution is proposed for questions that have been posed in a revolutionary way.
4) Confidence in the bourgeoisie is instilled... opportunism is strengthened...
5) The proletariat is diverted from the revolutionary struggle.

II.
