Periodically, the workers do revolt against bourgeois society, not by a hundred, five hundred, or a thousand, but by the millions.

Socialist democracy is not, a luxury and its need is not limited to the most advanced industrial countries.

Workers do not strike every day, they cannot do that the way they function in the capitalist economy. The way they have to live by selling their labor power makes that impossible.

You can have relatively high levels of class consciousness with a lower level of class militancy than one would have expected.

Only if you bring together the experience of the concrete struggles conducted by the real masses in the three sectors of the world (which are also called the three sectors of world revolution), then you have an overall, correct view of world reality.

For Marx, 'pure' economic theory, that is economic theory which abstracts from a specific social structure, is impossible.

For us, Marxism is always open because there are always new experiences, there are always new facts, including facts about the past, which have to be incorporated in the corpus of scientific socialism.
