Using Documents C, D, and E (page 2) explain how Lenin and Stalin worked to secure the supremacy of the party.
Lenin says in document C that the "congress orders the immediate dispersal of all group." This is elimination of his opponents. This makes it so that there is no option to be against the Bolsheviks since there is no other party. Also in this document it says that the "failure to execute this resolution of the congress must result in unconditional and immediate expulsion from the party." This further explains that there is no choice other than to support him.
In document D, Stalin talks about how the Bolsheviks "succeeded in creating internal unity and unexampled cohesion of its ranks" because they were able to get rid of the opponents.
Document E implies that the Bolsheviks are fighting against the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionaries who are trying to hold them back and prevent a revolution. Since the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionaries are much smaller than the Bolsheviks, the implies that the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries are a lot less powerful than the Bolsheviks. The Bolshevik man is large and has some sort of weapon while the others are small and don't have any weapons.
