LENIN ON ORGANIZATION will be acquainted with the general situation, will be accustomed to fulfill the detailed functions of the national all-Russian work, and who will test their strength in the organization of revolutionary activ- ities. This network of agents * will form the skel- eton of the organization we need: namely, one that is sufficiently large to embrace the whole country; sufficiently wide -and many-sided to effect a strict and detailed division of labor; sufficiently tried and tempered undeviatingly to carry out its own work in its own way in spite of all adversities, changes and unexpected surprises; sufficiently adaptable to be able if necessary to renounce an open fight against superior and concentrated forces and yet capable of taking advantage of the awk- wardness and immobility of the enemy and attacking at a time and place where he least expects attack. Today we are faced with the comparatively simple task of supporting students demonstrating in the streets of large towns: tomorrow, perhaps, we shall be faced with more difficult tasks, as for instance, supporting an unemployed movement in some loc- ality or other. Tomorrow, perhaps, we may have to be ready at our posts to take a revolutionary * It is understood, of course, that these agents can act successfully only if they work in close conjunction with the local committees (groups or circles) of our Party. Indeed, the whole plan we have sketched can be carried out, only with the most active support of the committees, which have ‘already made more than one attempt to achieve a united party, and which, I am certain, sooner or later, and in one form or another. will achieve that unity. 59
