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.

I do not believe in self-proclaimed parties.

Factions are a sign of illness in a party.

You cannot make a socialist revolution without really trying.

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

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.

The only conclusion you can draw from the real historical movement is that by and large, in day-to-day life, what Lenin called trade union consciousness dominates the working class. I would call it elementary class consciousness of the working class.
