—inter alia, this passage: “The militia system
is the organisation of the armed services of a
democratic state for the purpose of guaranteeing
the country’s external and internal security. The
militia is, of course, quite unsuitable for wars
of conquest and that is the reason why we support
it” (p. 768).

 Also a quotation from Engels, 1865 (to be copied out),
to the effect that it is a matter of indifference to the
workers which Great Power gets the upper hand, but
they are not indifferent to learning the art of war.
