Too Gross a Lie

From Marxists-en

The sage Rabochaya Gazeta has assured its readers that Plekhanov and Lenin are allies because both oppose the Stockholm conference of the social-chauvinists. Rabochaya Gazeta confines itself to issuing a few shouts, saying not a word about our arguments in substance, and keeping silent about the fact that this conference is a screen for capitalist diplomats!

This is a cheap trick!

Marxists must tell the people the truth and expose the tricks of the diplomats operating through the social-chauvinists.

No Marxist will allow himself, as Rabochaya Gazeta does, to keep silent about the fact that the refusal of the French social-chauvinists means a desire on the part of the Anglo-French and Russian bourgeoisie to drag out the war until Germany’s total defeat.
