revolutionary measures should be started with the expropriation of the biggest and big capital.

7. This is to be continued by revolutionary measures:

work).

8. Switch of manpower to the production of coal and raw
materials and to transport....

Organisation of exchange of grain for implements, footwear, clothes....

+ 9 . Switch of manpower from bombs to useful products.

of resources and manpower.
