     He had not reacted to Jaurès’s appeal. Why? Because the reunion movement has spread like a plague, until in the last few years it had infected the whole of Russian social democracy. Nothing could be more dangerous and damaging to the proletariat than this epidemic: “conciliation,” “reunification”—cretinous nonsense, it could ruin the Party! The leaders of the ditherers’ International had seized the initiative. Let them “make peace,” let them unify the two factions. They had summoned “the majority” to their sordid little unification conference in Brussels.
