ABSTRACT
The need for the communist elements in the colonies to combine forces with the revolutionary elements of the bourgeoisie, and with the peasantry, in a concerted attack upon imperialism and the bourgeois compromisers in their midst, in order to march forward to a genuine revolutionary struggle for emancipation from the yoke of imperialism. A considerable number of colonial lands are on the eve of their 1905, so to speak. It is, therefore, essential to gather the more advanced workers of such lands into a united communist party capable of taking the lead in the oncoming revolution. In 1922, writing about the ripening revolutionary movement in Colonial lands, Lenin said: The actual "victors" in the recent imperialist war have not the strength to vanquish a small and weak country like Ireland, they have not even the strength to set their own financial and monetary house in order.
