Page:Lenin - The Collapse of the Second International - tr. Sirnis (1919).pdf/22

 accelerate the collapse of capitalism. Guided by the example of the Paris Commune of 1871 and the Russian revolution of 1905, we must urge on the uprising of the oppressed of all lands.

Their action constitutes their renunciation of international principles, and signifies their passing over to the side of the master class.
