Such a body was adequate, in our view, to provide the principals with a number of benefits. National parties from the socialist family had invested much political energy, as well as some financial resources, in this new organisation. They did gain advantages in return. Undoubtedly, the SI through its bureau provided a powerful means of socialisation for the emergent socialist elites in different countries; to read the list of attenders at the bureau is to be reminded, anachronistically, of similar lists of participants at the summits of such as the European Peoples’ Party (EPP) or PES in the 1990s.
Under its aegis, it became clearer what a socialist party was, and which organisations in the various countries could qualify. Devin shows (1993: 285) mixed results for the decantation process; if the SI succeeded in brokering unity between fractions of French socialism to form a unified party SFIO (Section Française de l’Internationale Ouvrière) in 1905, it was singularly unable to generate similar unity among the socialists of Britain, Russia or the USA. 1 It is doubtful how far this benefit could have been foreseen by the founders of the SI but it was no less real for that.

Leninists saw contemporary capitalism as highly unstable, driven to expand its markets constantly in the search for profits and thus having recourse to occupation and exploitation of other territories, in various formal and informal guises.
