Lenin: There are different kinds of parliamentarism. Some utilise the parliamentary arena in order to win the favour of their governments, or, at best, to wash their hands of everything, like the Chkheidze group. Others utilise parliamentarism in order to remain revolutionary to the end, to perform their duty as Socialists and internationalists even under the most difficult circumstances. The parliamentary activities of some bring them into ministerial seats; the parliamentary activities of others bring them – to prison, to exile, to penal servitude. Some serve the bourgeoisie, others – the proletariat. Some are social-imperialists. Others are revolutionary Marxists. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
