Theses on the Provisional Government Declaration
Source: Lenin Collected Works, Progress Publishers, 1971, Moscow, Volume 36, pages 446-447
Theses[edit source]
1) Peace without annexations a world revolution
against capital,
2) Revision of the treaty either a farce, or a
world revolution
against capital.
âSteps for an agreement
with the Allies.â
2 bis) Puffing the capitalists: âAllied democraciesâ: glossing over the class struggle.
3) All land to the peasants â this can be realised even
without a revolution
against capital, by means
of a bloc, an alliance of
the capitalists and the
rich peasants.
4) All land to the working people â this cannot be
realised without a
revolution against
capital.
5) Organisation of production â either a fraud (and
more enrichment for the
capitalists) or a utopia
without a revolution
against capital.
6) âAn offensiveâ â a utopia without the greatest
revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses, which can flow only from the greatest revolution, a revolution against capital.
7) Departure from the Soviets,
betrayal of them,
transition to bureaucracy:
âstate controlâ, we are for. But by whom?
Who is to exercise control?
Officials?
Or the Soviets?
8) Constituent Assembly on land:
already out of date
9) No confidence and no support!
10) Even more strongly: explanation of the proletarian line, drawing a distinction between it and the petty-bourgeois line
ĎĎ=a Ministry of petty-bourgeois illusions and petty-bourgeois compromise.
