It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed.

How can you make a revolution without executions?

The state does not function as we desired. A man is at the wheel and seems to lead it, but the car does not drive in the desired direction. It moves as another force wishes.

One of the chief symptoms of every revolution is the sharp and sudden increase in the number of ordinary people who take an active, independent and forceful interest in politics.

A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.

The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
