PLAN OF SPEECH AT THE CONGRESS OF SOVIETS

1. To understand the turn in history, the change in the relation of classes and social forces.

2. The “independence” of the Russian revolution of February 23 (1917)–February 11 (1918). (Causes.)

3. The triumphal march: October 25 (1917)–February 11 (1918).

4. Imperialism: an epoch of severe defeats, retreats. Not the same enemy.

No army.

5. The “unhistorical” formulation of the question.

The bourgeoisie and its hangers-on.

6. Who demoralised the army?

7. The Vinnichenkos = the Kerenskys + the Tseretelis + the Chernovs.

8. Provocation and a trap. “Glad to see the German”…

9. Despair and phrase-mongering. Phrase-mongering and braggadocio: among the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries

[we have < 1/10 (453 and 36 and 8 = 497){197}]… [A sick army] …

10. Compare 1907 and 1918.

11. The peasantry and phrase-mongering.

12. “A breathing-space”. Defence of the fatherland.

13. 2 and 10; 200,000 and 1,000,000.

14. The Peace of Tilsit and the weak German people (only the weak and backward). Peace and war in their interconnection.

15. We are waiting, while retreating, for another ally: the international socialist proletariat.
