from "pure" (does it mean non-class or above-class democracy?) and simply says: without equality of all citizens there can be no democracy, one has to ask the learned Mr Kautsky, the "Marxist" and the "Socialist," the following question: can there be any equality between the exploited and the exploiters? It is monstrous, it is incredible that one should have to ask such a question in discussing a book by the leading thinker of the Second International. But there is no way of escaping from this necessity. In writing about Kautsky one has to explain to him, learned man that he is, why there can be no equality between the exploiters and the exploited.
