Re: [Marxism] The DSP's fresh approach toapplying democraticcentralism

["Joaquin Bustelo" <jbustelo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Carrol writes, "Along these lines, consider the _FIRST_  Congress of the
RSDLP -- where nothing really happened, but a sort of really loose and
ineffective grouping got a name -- and out of that looseness came the Second
Congress!"

"Party Building now that uses the "Leniist" method in effect tries to have
the Second Congress first, and by doing so prevents the emergence of that
first congress."

Spot on, and aggravated by the fact that people confuse the second congress
of the RSDLP (do you actually have to join the local branch to be a member?)
with the second congress of the comintern (the "21 conditions," etc.).
