II. PROLETARIANS AND COMMUNISTS

In what relation do the Communists stand to the proletarians as a

whole?

The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to other

working-class parties.

They have no interests separate and apart from those of the

proletariat as a whole.

They do not set up any sectarian principles of their own, by

which to shape and mould the proletarian movement.

The Communists are distinguished from the other working-class

parties by this only: (1) In the national struggles of the

proletarians of the different countries, they point out and bring

to the front the common interests of the entire proletariat,

independently of all nationality. (2) In the various stages of

development which the struggle of the working class against the

bourgeoisie has to pass through, they always and everywhere

represent the interests of the movement as a whole.
