Lenin, "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back" (1904):

As a theoretical justification of this profundity came the caricature 
and over simplification so customary in vulgar Marxism: the Iskra-ists, 
we were told, “want to treat the peasants as something homogeneous in 
composition; but as the peasantry split up into classes long ago [?], 
advancing a single programme must inevitably render the whole programme 
demagogic and make it adventurist when put into practice” (p. 202).
