"In the early stages of the revolution, even before the seizure of power, the workers will organize the Red Guard. Later on this loosely constructed body becomes developed into a firmly-knit, well-disciplined Red Army."

"The leader of the revolution in all its stages is the Communist Party. With its main base among the industrial workers, the Party makes a bloc with the revolutionary farmer and impoverished city petty bourgeoisie, drawing under its general leadership such revolutionary groups and organizations as these classes may have.
