[1921]

To the Members of the Politburo

Having now read in full the platform "We are Collectivists" (Vperedists, Bogdanovites, Proletkultists, etc.)1, I definitively conclude that it is absolutely useful and necessary for us to publish it as a pamphlet in 2-3 thousand copies with the _most thorough_ criticism, with the addition of an article on Bogdanov's political speeches in 1917, etc.

I propose to commission this pamphlet from _a number of authors_ under the editorship of Bukharin, instructing him to distribute it to various authors, receive their manuscripts within 2 weeks, and show it in _proof to the Politburo_ 2. (This is also needed _abroad_.)
1) Central Committee circulars on Proletkults3.
2) "We are Collectivists."
3) Bukharin's article from Pravda
4) a series of other articles analyzing the platform.
