I have just had the telegram, and changed the envelope, which had been marked for A....
Whatâs happening to the Central Organ?? This is a disgrace and a scandal!! No sign of it yet, and not even the proofs. Enquire and get an explanation, please.
The issue of Vorwärts where Kautsky used the rotten phrase that there is no Party (die alte Partei sei verschwunden literally) is No. 333 of December 18, 1913. You should get hold of it (rue de Bretagne. 49 or somewhere else) and organise a protest campaign. We are for an exchange of opinion, for the resolution of the I.S.B.âthis N.B.âbut are absolutely against Kautskyâs scoundrelly phrase.[1] He should be beaten unmercifully for this, with the reservation that we are for Aussprache (exchange of opinion), etc.
- â Reference is to Kautskyâs speech at the meeting of the International Socialist Bureau on December 14, 1913. It was criticised severely by Lenin in his articles âA Good Resolution and a Bad Speechâ and âKautskyâs Unpardonable Errorâ (see present edition, Vol. 49, pp. 528â31 and 546â48).
