No such inconsistency exists. The Communist Party was right in both cases. That accords with the logic of revolution.

During the last four months re presentatives of the Right Wing of the Kuomintang have repeatedly used repressive measures against. the workers and peasants organi sations. They have disarmeded the working people and imprisoned their leaders. As long, however, as the burgeoisie did not go over openly to the enemy cause, the workers and peasants conned themselves ta
