The Joint Plenum of the and the C. C. C. is now in a position to state with satisfaction that this Right deviation in the leadership of the Chinese brother Party has been dated, and the policy of the leader- ship corrected. 2. The Trotzkyist point of view seeks its formal basis in an analogy with the revolution in Russia in 1905, now when the Bolsheviki fought deter- minedly an understanding | with liberal bourgeoisie, which was advocated by the Mensheviki. The gravest error of the Trotzkyist nt is the t that Comrade y and his adherents (Comrade Zinoviev, etc.) do not grasp the fun- damental nce: between an im- perialist country and revolution in a country bearing the banner of the fight agai imperialism. Just on this difference Lenin wrote as fol- lows “What is the most important, the main idea of our theses? The difference between oppressed and oppressor countries. We emphasize this difference, ignored by the II. International and bourgeois de- moeracy. It is especially important for the proletariat, and for the Communist International, to ascer- tain the “actual existing economic f ani to take conerete reali ties as the peint of departure for the soluticn of all colonial and : hlcms, and not abstract » (Lenin.

Therefore the Comintern laid down a new line of tactics for this new stage of development. This line consisted of a determined and relentle fight by the bloe of the workers, peasants and city poor, against the bloc of the imperialists and Chang-Tso-lin and at the same time against the bourgeoisie and Chiang Kai Shek. One part of the radical and petty bourgeoisie, which has remained in the Left Kuomintang and in the Wuhan government, de- clared war against Chiang Kai Shek, and enabled the Communist Party to continue ork, The Communist Party had to make use of this pos- | in order to organize the “de- |fence against the Cavaignacs” and to |mobilize the masses. The development of the class Struggle and the pressure exercised | by imperialists led, however, to |a fresh regrouping of forces. The majority of the Wuhan government and of the leaders of the Left Kuo- mintang deserted the revolution, and the suppression of the workers and peasan movement began. This |stage again brought with it a corre- sponding change in tactics and slo-| gar Withdrawal from the Wuhan government, declaration of war by| the Communists against this govern- ment, which had ceased to be “really revolutionary.” 23.
