In volume 26 of LCW, there is an essay titled "Can the Bolsheviks retain state
power." In this article Lenin writes:
"We are not utopians. We know that an unskilled labourer or a cook cannot
immediately get on with the job of state administration. In this we agree
with the Cadets, with Breshkovskaya, and with Tsereteli. We differ,
however, from these citizens in that we demand an immediate break with the
prejudiced view that only the rich, or officials chosen from rich
families, are capable of administering the state, of performing the
ordinary, everyday work of 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."
I need the page number for this quote. I would deeply appreciate help here.
Many thanks in advance.
