Under certain circumstances the Communist International may be threatened with the danger of dilution by the fluctuating and half-and-half groups, which have not yet done with the ideology of the Second International.
Besides, in some of the large parties (Italy, Sweden), the majority of which are adhering to the point of view of Communism, there iis up to this moment a considerable reformist and social pacifist wing, which is only waiting for the moment to lift Its head again, begin an active "sabotage" of the proletarian revolution, and thus help the bourgeoisie and the Second International.
