Three Keys To Success: Read, Read, Read.

You Cannot Do Anything Without Rousing The Masses To Action. A Plenary Meeting Of The Soviet Must Be Called To Decide On Mass Searches In Petrograd And The Goods Stations. To Carry Out These Searches, Each Factory And Company Must Form Contingents, Not On A Voluntary Basis: It Must Be The Duty Of Everyone To Take Part In These Searches Under The Threat Of Being Deprived Of His Bread Card. We Can't Expect To Get Anywhere Unless We Resort To Terrorism: Speculators Must Be Shot On The Spot. Moreover, Bandits Must Be Dealt With Just As Resolutely: They Must Be Shot On The Spot.

We Must Not Depict Socialism As If Socialists Will Bring It To Us On A Plate All Nicely Dressed. That Will Never Happen. Not A Single Problem Of The Class Struggle Has Ever Been Solved In History Except By Violence. When Violence Is Exercised By The Working People, By The Mass Of Exploited Against The Exploiters -- Then We Are For It!

You Must Have Your Heart On Fire And Your Brain On Ice.

By Destroying The Peasant Economy And Driving The Peasant From The Country To The Town, The Famine Creates A Proletariat... Furthermore The Famine Can And Should Be A Progressive Factor Not Only Economically. It Will Force The Peasant To Reflect On The Bases Of The Capitalist System, Demolish Faith In The Tsar And Tsarism, And Consequently In Due Course Make The Victory Of The Revolution Easier... Psychologically All This Talk About Feeding The Starving And So On Essentially Reflects The Usual Sugary Sentimentality Of Our Intelligentsia.
