23. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below
The main point in the teaching of Marx is the class struggle.
This has very often been said and written. But this is not true.
Out of this error, here and there, springs an opportunist distortion of Marxism,
such a falsification of it as to make it acceptable to the bourgeoisie. The theory
of the class struggle was not created by Marx, but by the bourgeoisie before Marx and is,
generally speaking, acceptable to the bourgeoisie. He who recognises only the class struggle
is not yet a Marxist; he may be found not to have gone beyond the boundaries of bourgeois reasoning
and politics. To limit Marxism to the teaching of the class struggle means to curtail Marxism
to distort it, to reduce it to something which is acceptable to the bourgeoisie. A Marxist is one
who extends the acceptance of class struggle to the acceptance of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Herein lies the deepest difference between a Marxist and an ordinary petty or big bourgeois.
On this touchstone it is necessary to test a real understanding and acceptance of Marxism. And it is not
astonishing that, when the history of Europe put before the working class this question in a practical way,
not only all opportunists and reformists but all Kautskyists (people who vacillate between reformism
and Marxism) turned out to be miserable philistines and petty bourgeois democrats, denying the
dictatorship of the proletariat. Kautsky's pamphlet, Dictatorship of the Proletariat, published in
August, 1918, i.e., long after the first edition of this book, is an example of petty bourgeois
distortion of Marxism and base renunciation of it in practice, while hypocritically recognising it
in words (see my pamphlet, The Proletarian Revolution and the Renegade Kautsky, Petrograd and Moscow, 1918).
