The role of the bourgeoisie is "overestimated" uPjV; revolutionary democracy m[ay

NB:
And even the janitors of the Chernigov gubernia are for n[atioj
nali]zation of all the land, and the peasant j bourgeoisie, under pressure from] the people, may abandon

Contradictions can be overcome by democracy.

TO THE REPORT ON THE CURRENT MOMENT
Slutsky: Lenin has "revolutionary practicality", a struggle against phrase-mongering
..."In a short time, the bourgeois nature of the revo- lution is exhausted." . .
\В Hi ... "Référendum et plébiscite—voilà à quoi va Rocini "|||??
The bourgeoisie could reproach Lenin with opportu- nism ....
= Refer[endum ?? ?
^ !| "He had the overthrow of capital in his theses, but
II: not in his speech".......
We must demand that the government renounce annexations, but not a demand to the government,
but to the revolutionary people” (NB)
o
banks (?? nil) ... "International inst[itution" (? nil?).
Yakovlev: ... "The revolutionary proletariat is spinning
its wheels"__
Naumov: (Vyborg district):
What to do? Where to turn?
(who to demand from, where to turn to?...
and the Masses
NB ||] need to be occupied with something__
How to stop the war? Something is missing, they do not understand.
There is not enough practice (with Lenin)---- "We do not give the masses anything to do"__
Safarov: "Liberal pacifism"___
Letrikovsky:
"one cultural-educational work"...
Would the masses follow the Soviet of Workers' [Deputies]
without its contact with the Provisional Government]?
Prisedko: Disarmament! or socialist revol[ution? I do not know. In Europe, it is closer to disarmament. In Europe—
socialism, we do not have it.
It is impossible to replace the organs of local self-government: with Soviets!!
There is no point in separating] peasant [and] soldier]
deputies. There are no reasons.
Indefinite — Communi. An unfortunate example.

Kalinin:
I am an old Bolshevik. The old forms of Bolshevism do not hold back... I am a conservative.
Lenin does not deviate one iota from the old Bol- shevism.
Appearance procedure — an old truth----
He has an analysis, but not a method, not an approach.........
Sergei*: Three old whales:
{
renouncing annexations placing expenses on capitalists revolutionary democratic] dictature "is 1/2
there" this is an impossible thing. But how to make it so that it is entirely? That is the whole question.
(Difference between Lenin and Trotsky?)
The root of things is not in the lack of consciousness of the masses and in insufficient
organization, but in the inevitability of defensism.
Is it possible to complete the bourgeois-democratic revo-
lution] as we thought earlier? No.
What would it (Soviet of W[orkers'] Deputies)
do, being in power?
Socialist] transformation? No.
Commune?
"There is no radical]-democratic party in order to demand"
Antonina**: Provisional government=bourgeoisie-[- part of landlords].
The peasantry does not just hold onto the Provisional government] with illusions, but also with fear of the country proletariat.
Ivanov: ___ "Bolsheviks of all countries" ___
