LENIN ON ORGANIZATION 
Foreigners do not need that. They require some- 
thing higher, including first of all to understand 
what we wrote about the organizational structure 
of the Communist Parties, to which the foreign 
comrades set their signature, without reading and 
without understanding. That should be their first 
task. This resolution is too Russian: it reflects 
Russian experience, and for that reason is entirely 
incomprehensible to foreigners. They cannot rest 
content with hanging it up in a corner like an ikon 
and praying to it. That will lead us nowhere. They 
must understand a part of the Russian experience. 
How that is to be done, I do not know. It is pos- 
sible, for example, that the fascisti in Italy are 
doing us a great service by showing the Italians that 
they are still not sufficiently enlightened and that 
their country is still not guaranteed against the 
Black Hundreds. That may be very useful. We 
Russians must also attempt to explain to foreigners 
the fundamentals of the resolution. Otherwise they 
will not be able to put the resolution into effect. I 
am convinced that in this respect we must tell both 
the Russian and the foreign comrades that the most 
important thing in the coming period is to study. 
We are learning in a general sense. You must learn 
in a special sense, in order to achieve the organiza- 
tion, the structure, the method and content of revo- 
lutionary work. If that is achieved I am convinced 
that the prospects for the world revolution will be 
not only good—they will be excellent,
