an inevitable finale.
1:10:04
Lenin voiced criticisms
of a general strike...

1:10:06
insofar as it tends to preclude
other forms of struggle.

1:10:14
If you wish to discuss Lenin,
then we'll discuss Lenin.

1:10:17
You accuse us of voluntarism,
but Lenin proved precisely that...

1:10:21
a dose of voluntarism, of revolutionary
subjectivism, is indispensable.

1:10:25
Your criticism is purely negative.
1:10:28
What are you really proposing?
1:10:30
Criticism is always negative
at first.

1:10:34
You try to make yourself
understood...

1:10:36
to explain it's not the idea of
a general strike you're criticizing...

1:10:39
but merely the specific situation
to which it's being applied.

1:10:41
You oppose the call
for a general strike on April 30th...

1:10:44
because the required conditions
are absent.

1:10:47
Another failure may discourage
the masses from this form of action.

1:10:50
You oppose deciding
from a position of exile...

1:10:52
a plan of action
and its date of execution in Spain.

1:10:56
We cannot be proxies for workers
in Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid...

1:10:59
or decide for them.
1:11:01
Our underground can only organize
and serve as an instrument...

1:11:04
to carry out
the will of the masses.

1:11:06
It cannot replace that will.
1:11:08
Why speak of exiles as if they were
in opposition to those in Spain...

1:11:10
the underground
in opposition to the masses?

1:11:12
No, I don't.
1:11:15
I only mean one cannot
replace the other.

1:11:29
It would be absurd to imply...
1:11:31
that Carlos has been intimidated
by the arrests.

1:11:34
Over the past ten years he has often
proven he's not easily intimidated.

1:11:37
But he has been lacking
in political insight.

1:11:40
Just what is the situation?
1:11:42
Juan is in Barcelona.
1:11:43
He is scheduled to meet Carlos
in Madrid on Thursday.

1:11:46
But Carlos is here and Juan
has been left to his own devices.

1:11:50
We must reach Juan
in Barcelona...

1:11:52
and set up another contact for him
with the group in Madrid.

1:11:56
We're forced to increase
the number of trips...

1:11:58
and, as a result,
the risk automatically increases too.
