1. Why must we build the party through united front work?
2. How can we just effectively wage ideological struggle against reformism?

4. How does right opportunism manifest itself in legal democratic organizations?
5. How does “left” opportunism manifest itself in legal democratic organizations?

This episode is an investigation into the question of people's war or protracted people's war in the capitalist and capitalist-imperialist countries. I argue against the universality of protracted people's war and for the strategy of people's war, or people's revolutionary civil war, for the industrial capitalist and imperialist metropoles.
