Ministerial Tone
The editors of Ivestia of the Petrograd Soviet have adopted a ministerial tone. They do not like Pravda; they condemn it for its âsharp attacks against the Provisional Governmentâ.
To criticise what he doesnât like is the sacred right of every publicist. But why make oneself ridiculous by dispensing ministerial censure for our âattacksâ without criticising the issues we raise? Would it not be better to analyse our arguments, or at least one of our resolutions, or at least one of our statements on the class struggle?
âThe country today is heading for ruin,â says Izvestiaâs editorial. Correct. For that very reason it would be unwise today to rely on the conciliatory policy of the petty bourgeoisie, the Narodniks and the Mensheviks, with regard to the capitalists. The country cannot be saved from ruin in that way.
