Marxism is always open, always critical, always self-critical.

The more workers you have in your organization, the better you are implanted in the working class, the more likely you are to come up with the concrete problems of the class.

Revolution is an instrument, like a party is an instrument.

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

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.

There is a process of social and of political differentiation going on in the real working class all the time.

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