The Most Revolutionary Thing One Can Do

On The One Hand, We Have The Mass; On The Other, Its Historic Goal, Located Outside Of Existing Society. On One Hand, We Have The Day-to-day Struggle; On The Other, The Social Revolution. It Follows That This Movement Can Best Advance By Tacking Betwixt And Between The Two Dangers By Which It Is Constantly Being Threatened. One Is The Loss Of Its Mass Character; The Other, The Abandonment Of Its Goal. One Is The Danger Of Sinking Back To The Condition Of A Sect; The Other, The Danger Of Becoming A Movement Of Bourgeois Social Reform.

Self-criticism, Cruel, Unsparing Criticism That Goes To The Very Root Of The Evil, Is Life And Breath For The Proletarian Movement.

The Masses Are The Decisive Element, They Are The Rock On Which The Final Victory Of The Revolution Will Be Built.

Life Is Singing Also In The Sand Crunching Under The Slow And Heavy Steps Of The Guards, When We Know How To Listen To It.

Before A Revolution Happens, It Is Perceived As Impossible; After It Happens, It Is Seen As Having Been Inevitable.
