V. I.

Lenin

Theses

1) Peace without annexations
a world revolution against capital,

2) Revision of the treaty
either a farce, or a world revolution against capital.

“ Steps for an agreement with the Allies.”

2 bis ) Puffing the capitalists: “Allied democracies”: glossing over the
class struggle.

3) All land to the peasants — this can be realised even
without a revolution against capital, by means of a bloc , an alliance of
the capitalists and the rich peasants.

4) All land to the working people — this cannot be
realised without a revolution against capital.

5) Organisation of production — either a fraud (and
more enrichment for the capitalists) or a utopia without a revolution
against capital.

6) “ An offensive” — a utopia without the greatest
revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses, which can flow only from the
greatest revolution, a revolution against capital.

7) Departure from the Soviets,
betrayal of them, transition to bureaucracy :
“state control”, we are for . But by whom ?
Who is to exercise control?
Officials?
Or the Soviets?

8) Constituent Assembly on land:

already out of date

9) No confidence and no support!

10) Even more strongly: explanation of the proletarian line, drawing a distinction between it and
the petty-bourgeois line σσ= a Ministry of petty-bourgeois illusions and petty-bourgeois compromise.
