LENIN ON ORGANIZATION
the fullest sense of the word, a permanent army of
tried fighters would be systematically rallied and
receive their training. On the scaffolding and
steps of this common organizational structure
would soon rise up from among our revolutionaries,
our Social Democratic Jeliabovs and our Russian
workers—our Bebels, who will take the lead of the
mobilized army and rouse the whole people to put
an end to the shame and the curse of Russia. It
is of this that we must dream.
Up till now, the majority of our local organiza-
tions have concerned themselves almost exclusively
with local organs and work actively almost exclu-
sively upon them. This is wrong. The very oppo-
site should be done. The majority of the local
organizations should concern themselves principally
with the all-Russian organ and concentrate upon it
chiefly. Until we do this, we shall not be able to
serve the movement with press agitation covering
all questions. When this will be done, however,
normal relations between the necessary central and
the necessary local organs will be established.
