The Moscow Manifesto, as cited from the copy of it in the "New York Call" of July 24, 1919, gives the Third International's plan of action for world revolution in a nutshell:

All other methods, e.g., revolutionary use of bourgeois parliamentarism will in the revolution have only a subordinate value."
