Kautsky’s disgraceful rubbish, childish babble and shallowest opportunism impel me to ask: why do we do nothing to fight the theoretical vulgarisation of Marxism by Kautsky?
Can we tolerate that even such people as Mehring and Zetkin keep away from Kautsky more “morally” (if one may put it so) than theoretically.... Kautsky has found nothing better to do now than to write against the Bolsheviks, they say.
Is that an argument? Can one really so weaken one’s own position? Why, that is only putting a weapon into Kautsky’s hands!!
And this instead of writing:
Kautsky has absolutely failed to understand and has distorted in a purely opportunist way the teaching of Marx on the state , on the dictatorship of the proletariat , on bourgeois democray , on parliamentarism , on the role and significance of the Commune, etc.
