" In
Germany there are 3,000,000 men who begin their letters "Dear
Comrade" and end them "Yours for the Revolution"; in France,
1,000,000 men; in Austria, 800,000 men; in Belgium, 300,000 men; in
Italy, 250,000 men; in England, 100,000 men; in Switzerland, 100,000
men; in Denmark, 55,000 men; in Sweden, 50,000 men; in Holland,
40,000 men; in Spain, 30,000 men--comrades all, and revolutionists.
These are numbers which dwarf the grand armies of Napoleon and
Xerxes. But they are numbers not of conquest and maintenance of the
established order, but of conquest and revolution. They compose,
when the roll is called, an army of 7,000,000 men, who, in accordance
with the conditions of to-day, are fighting with all their might for
the conquest of the wealth of the world and for the complete
overthrow of existing society.
There has never been anything like this revolution in the history of
the world. There is nothing analogous between it and the American
Revolution or the French Revolution.
