ABSTRACT
Opportunism in its developed form-according to the classic definition of Lenin-is a bloc formed by the working-class leaders with the bourgeoisie and directed against the majority of the working-class. The extraordinarily swift growth of our industry during the restoration period has been one of the fundamental causes of that opportunistic illusion which the majority of the Central Committee has systematically encouraged in the party and the working-class. The growth of the Leninist Opposition in the party has impelled the worst elements of the bureaucracy to resort to methods heretofore unheard of in the practice of Bolshevism. The growing danger of war is already impelling the worker member to think more deeply about the fundamental problems of the revolution. The working-class section of our party has been largely crowded out of the party leadership in late years. The most important, the most militant, question, and the one which troubles all the members of our party, is the question of party unity.
