LENIN ON ORGANIZATION of the Party. He argues that our Party must be a Party of the masses, but he has opened wide the door to every opportunist and has stretched the boundaries of the Party to complete difusion. Under present conditions, this represents a great danger, because it makeg it very difficult to draw a line of demarcation between a revolutionary and an idle talker. That is why we must make the concep- tion of the Party narrower. Martov’s mistake is that he opened the door widely to every passer-by, when it has been discovered that even one-third of those present at the Congress were merely hangers-on. In this instance, Martov displayed opportunism. His formula introduced a false note into the rules; every member of the Party must be under the con- trol of an organization so that the central commit- tee may have access to every single member of the Party. My formula created a stimulus to organize. (1903, from Speech of 11th Con- gress of the League of Revolution- ary Social Democrats abroad). 191
