This text was first published in the May-June 1982 and subsequent issues of the now-defunct magazine /Line of March/, a journal that came out of the Maoist movement in the United States. It deals with the development of Lenin's theory of labour aristocracy. At the time of writing, *Max Elbaum* was a member of the /Line of March/ editorial board. *Robert Seltzer* was a member of the /Line of March/ Labour Commission. A nationwide grouping of Labour Commission members and associates contributed to the research and preparation of the article.
The articles were republished in 2004 as a pamphlet by Resistance Books, and with the publishers' permission the pamphlet has been made available to /Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/.
