Summary/Abstract: According to the communists, in an intermediate period following the victory of the socialist revolution, during a transition from capitalism to communism, a state of the proletariat dictatorship would exist. They assumed that in the socialist regime, a oneparty system would function. As far as the capitalist regime, the communists fought against the parties of the right, the reformist and agrarian parties – except for periods when they voiced the slogan of a two-stage revolution (1923, 1935–1937). In those periods they proposed that a worker-peasant government should be established, including inter alia PPS and PSL Wyzwolenie. The communists ran also into a difficulty when determining their attitude toward legally operating revolutionary organizations. In practice, they accepted their existence, stressing, however, that those would continue to operate only as long as the socialist revolution had won.
