The PPR must have such an attraction, such a solid and dynamic organization,
that it can withstand all attacks, whether open or underground. These attacks
are inevitable.

(b) The PPR must strive for maximal expansion of the party by enlarging its
cadres and the number of members, activists, and sympathizers among the
workers, white collar workers, and peasant masses.
(c) We must continue to proclaim the slogan of a united workers clsa and a
united PPR-PPS front, at the same time eliminating our adversaries within
the PPS and advancing our own friends.
(d) We use this democratic bloc idea because it permits us to achieve our oen
aims while creating the impression that we are actually striving for a union
of the democratic masses. It is of no importance to us how the other political
parties react to our activities.

I., Polish society must lose its antagonism toward the PPR,and the Government, we
have plotted a definite course in our efforts to change political, social and
economic concepts, The ephemeral older generation must be overruled and excluded
from our work and plans, We must insure our future by attracting and building
upon the youth of the nation,
2Q More than ever, the PPR must adhere to realism which is of double value to us:
it affords us clear vision in our choice of methods; it permits us to achieve
supremacy over our enemies who, like the AK and PSL; have been destroyed by their
lack of political realism, or like the Sanacya and the National Democrats, have
learned reality only through enormous losses and defeats.
3. Our realistic principles may be expressed as follows:

If objectives can be achieved by putting on a mask, we should use the mask;
if they cannot, we should use the whip. Polish individualism must be bent
to the aims defined by the PPR, and these aims must be attained vrithin
definite time limits.
