LENIN ON ORGANIZATION 
the falsificators of revolutionary Marxism, that 
enabled him to mould the monolithic Bolshevik 
Party, without which the Russian proletariat could 
never have achieved its brilliant victory. 
In 1910, the last effort was made to come to an 
understanding with the Mensheviks. A plenary 
meeting of the Central Committee was convened 
at which the Menshevik liquidators were present. 
Lenin had already given up all hope of coming to 
an understanding with them, but the illusion still 
prevailed in the Bolshevik faction that it would be 
possible to bring the Menshevik Liquidators to the 
path of a revolutionary Social Democracy. That 
is why Lenin agreed to this joint meeting being 
called. At this meeting, a resolution was passed 
unanimously, and in this resolution we read: 
“The historical conditions of the Social-Demo- 
cratic movement in the epoch of bourgeois counter- 
revolution inevitably give rise, as a manifestation 
of the bourgeois influence on the proletariat, to a 
repudiation of the illegal Social Democratic Party, 
to a desire to minimize its role and significance, to 
attempts to modify the program and tactics, the 
tasks and the slogans of revolutionary Social Dem- 
ocracy, etc., on the one hand, and on the other hand, 
it gives rise to a repudiation of Social Democratic 
work in the Duma, and the utilization of legal 
possibilities, to the failure to understand the impor- 
tance of both these forms of activity, to lack of 
ability to adapt revolutionary democratic tactics
