compromise between the lefts and right. In `Dialogue with Heinrich Brandler' (Marxism,
Wars and Revolutions, Deutscher, Verso, 1984) the latter says: "Radek was accused
by Moscow of being the author of my definition of the five forms of workers' government.
In reality, he tried to prevent this definition from being adopted; not because he thought
it incorrect but, as I learned years later, because it irritated Zinoviev, and Radek found
this inconvenient for his factional struggle in Moscow." pp.158-159. Brandler
advanced it at the 8th Congress of the KPD in January 1923, just after the 4th Congress of
the Communist International which took place in Nov-Dec 1922. See Revolutionary History
