A Labour Party Is Not

If A Labour Movement, On A Bourgeois Basis, Has Hitherto Existed In The Country Where The New Movement Is Awakening It Will Certainly Not Disappear All At Once.

Without Socialism The Working Class Is A Heterogeneous Mixture Of Different Categories, Some Of Which Have Independent, Varying Interests, Sometimes Opposed To Each Other.

Every Social Organisation Which Is Rooted In Life Still Lasts A Long Time, Even After The Conditions From Which It Drew Its Strength Have Changed In A Manner Unfavourable To It.

In General, If Signs Of Sectarianism Do Appear In A Socialist Party, These Are Only The Products Of The Absence Of A Broad Labour Movement In The Country.

The Mass Of Workers, As Yet Non-socialist, Is Retarded In Its Development Towards Socialism.
