      We are not Utopians. We know that an unskilled labourer or a cook cannot immediately get on with the job of state administration. We demand that training in the work of state administration be conducted by class-conscious workers and soldiers and that this training be begun at once, i.e., that a beginning be made at once in training all the working people, all the poor, for this work.
