LENIN ON ORGANIZATION

start organizing literature distribution at a moment of unrest, a strike, or ferment; it must be done gradually, distributions being made twice or even three times a month. If there are no newspapers it must be done with leaflets, but the distributing machine must in no case be allowed to remain idle. We must try to bring the machine to such a pitch of perfection that the whole working class population can be advised, and, so to speak, mobilized overnight. That is by no means a utopian demand, provided there is a systematic transmission of leaflets from the centers to the narrower intermediary groups and from them to the distributors . . . .
