Axelrod's Idea of Organizing Independent Workers Congresses

Lenin said the cadets were simply there to advise the czar on the best methods of strangling the people. In the russian context, the democratic revolution must be accomplished by an alliance of workers and peasants. The bensheviks lost this vote and shook their head. They could not believe lenon and the bolshevik were turning their backs on what seemed be the clearest and most obvious task of the party at this stage of the revolution. Inviting them in would simply disrupt the policies of the party organization. It would be a massive mistake.
