In short, 1) intensified agitation around daily needs linked with the general class needs of the proletariat, 2) organisation and consolidation of the committees in the factories and works as the Partys most important district centres, 3) the transfer of the most important Party functions to the advanced workers and 4) the organisation of discussion groups for the advanced workers—such are the means by which our organisations will be able to rally the broad masses around themselves. One cannot help observing that life itself is pointing out this path to the overcoming of the Party crisis. The Central region and the Urals have been doing without intellectuals for a long time; there the workers themselves are conducting the affairs of the organisations. In Sormovo, Lugansk (Donets Basin) and Nikolayev, the workers in 1908 published leaflets and in Niko-layev, in addition to leaflets, they published an illegal organ. In Baku the organisation has systematically intervened in all the affairs of the workers struggle and has missed scarcely a single conflict between the workers and the oil owners, while, of course, at the same time conducting general political agitation. Incidentally, this explains why the Baku organisation has maintained contact with the masses to this day. Such is the situation as regards the methods of linking the Party with the broad masses of the workers. But the Party suffers not only from isolation from the masses. It also suffers from the isolation of its organisations from one another. Let us pass to this last question. JV Stalin: Collected Works Volume II - The Party Crisis and our Tasks - Pages 157-158
