imperialism, and is suitable as a model of tactics for all. Not only the European, but also the universal world proletarian revolution is maturing under everybody's eyes, and it has been assisted, has been accelerated, has been supported, by the victory of the proletariat in Russia. Is all that enough for a complete victory of Socialism? Certainly not. One country cannot do more, but this one country, thanks to the Soviet régime, has nevertheless achieved so much that even if the Soviet régime were crushed by World Imperialism, by way, for instance, of an agreement between the German and the Anglo-French Imperialism—even in this worst possible case, the Bolshevik policy would still have brought a gigantic benefit to Socialism, and would have rendered the greatest assistance to the growth of the invincible world revolution.
