Discurso sobre el Frente Único
—
en DiscursosCamaradas, no pude asistir a la sesión de ayer pero he leído con atención los dos discursos que, en principio, se han opuesto a la táctica definida por el Ejecutivo: los discursos de nuestros camaradas Terracini y Daniel Renault.

—
en DiscursosCamaradas: Estamos sesionando (esta Conferencia de Mujeres Comunistas y el presente Congreso de la Internacional Comunista) y realizando nuestro trabajo en un momento que no parece tener aquel carácter definitivo, aquella claridad y rasgos distintivos fundamentales que aparecían, a primera vista, en el Primer Congreso Mundial, cuando se reunió inmediatamente después de la guerra.

On the Eve of a Revolution
—
en DiscursosThe streets of Petrograd again speak the language of 1905. As in the time of the Russo-Japanese war, the masses demand bread, peace, and freedom.

We are socialists!
—
en DiscursosGentlemen of the bench, gentlemen representatives of the estates! The question of an armed rising — a question which, however strange this may seem to the Special Court, occupied no place whatever on the agenda of the meetings of the Soviet of Workers’ Deputies throughout the 50 days of its existence — is the principal…
