Excerpt from Bolshevik Aims and Ideals: And Russia's Revolt Against Bolshevism In the discussions (at Zimmerwald In 1915) regarding the question - What would the Proletariat Party do if a revolution were to put it in power during the present war? - we (i. E., Lenin and Zinovieff) replied: we would offer peace to all the combatants on the basis of the libera tion of the colonies and of all dependent, down-trodden and subject races. Neither Germany nor France nor England would accept these terms under their present governments. We would then prepare (after a separate peace with Germany, of course) to carry out in full by the most decisive measures our minimum programme, and also systematically to stir up revolt amongst all the peoples at present oppressed by the great Russians, amongst the colonies and dependent countries of Asia, India, China, Persia, etc., and also, above all, to call to arms the Socialist proletariat of Europe against their Governments and in spite of their chauvinist Socialists.
