Herman Gorter, 1920
OPEN LETTER TO COMRADE LENIN*
I wish to draw your attention, Comrade Lenin, and that of the reader, to the fact that this letter was written at the time of the triumphant march of the Russians to Warsaw.
I likewise request you, and the reader, to excuse the frequent repetitions. They were unavoidable, owing to the fact that the tactics of the "Lefts" are still unknown to the workers of most countries.
Herman Gorter.
