Since the Red Army is only the instrument of a particular regime, the basic guarantee against Bonapartism, just as against any other form of counter-revolution, has to be sought in the regime itself. Counter-revolution cannot in any way develop out of the regime of proletarian dictatorship it can establish itself only as a result of a direct and open bloody victory over this regime.
Desde el momento que el Ejército Rojo no es más que el instrumento de un régimen determinado, la garantía fundamental contra el bonapartismo, como contra otras formas de contrarrevolución, hay que buscarla en el régimen mismo.
