LENIN ON ORGANIZATION 
Axelrod think that this dispute plainly showed the 
antagonism which existed at our congress between 
the Jacobins and the Girondists of modern Social 
Democracy? Is not Comrade Axelrod railing at 
the Jacobing because he finds himself in the com- 
pany of the Girondists? 
Third example. The dispute on par. 1 of the 
statutes. Who emphasises “the proletarian tendency 
in our movement’: who insists that the worker does 
not fear organization, that he has no sympathy with 
anarchism and he responds to the stimulus “Organ- 
ize yourselves!” who warns us that the bourgeois 
intellectuals are thoroughly imbued with opportun- 
ism? The Jacobins of Social Democracy. And 
who drags the radical intellectuals into the Party 
and are greatly concerned about the professors, 
the students, the individuals and the radical youth? 
The Girondist Axelrod and the Girondist Liber. 
Comrade Axelrod defends himself very clumsily 
against “the false accusation of opportunism,” 
which was openly made at the Party congress 
against the majority of the group “The Liberation 
of Labor.” He defends himself in such a way that 
by repeatedly chanting the worn-out Bernstein 
melody on Jacobinism, Blanquism, etc., he simply 
corroborates the accusation! He is now shouting 
about the danger of the radical intellectuals simply 
in order to drown his own speech at the Party con- 
gress, which was full of expressions of concern for 
the intellectuals. 
Those “terrible words” Jacobinism and so forth,
