During the Reformist po l isy of the Social>:Demoor at io Party which by moans of the ballet box triad to gain influenoe upon the bourgeois state,, it was quite natural that principal was paid to the organ isat ion of the voters. It was neoeasary, therefore, to base the organisation on election district,* irid doaloiles. This organisation structure was also taken over by the Communist parties from the Social-;,amoorat io Party. iowever, this is oontrsdtetory not only to the ultimate aims of the Communist Party, but also to its proximate twits.

The proximate tasks are to conquer the majority of the labor alasre* by mows of active part io ipat ion in the every-day struggle of the labor masse a, and by guiding such struggle. This can be achieved only by closest contaot of our Party organisations with the labor macsee at the various works and establishments, an these grounds already the Third Congress of the Communist International re- solved that the gazi&-oells at the veu ious individual establishments should oonst itato the formation of the Approved For Release 2011/01/20: CIA-RDP90-01226R000100120017-2 Approved For Release 2011/01/20: CIA-RDP90-01226R000100120017-2 Communist Party.

In the mear_tims, the experience of the German revolution (towards the end of the year 1983) has clearly shown that without germ..eslls at the individual establishments and without closest oontaot with the labor masses - the latter cannot be drawn into the struggle, nor guided, that their moods rind frame of mind cannot be ganged correctly, that the right moment cannot be seized and v iotory oter the bourgeoisie moused.
