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

"Our enemies-my enemies-wouldn't win. The demon lizards had hurt me for the last time. Now, they had a new foe, and I would make sure they remembered my name when I destroyed them on the battlefield. I would work hard. I would excel. I would become the perfect soldier."

"There are no conditions in which we subordinate the interests of the class as a whole to the interests of any sect, any chapel, any separate organization."

Unity

"There has been hardly a single year since 1917, and in a certain sense since 1905, without a revolution somewhere in the world in which the workers participated in a rather important way."

Revolution

"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."

Power

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

Militancy

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

Society

"The conclusion you can draw from these characteristics is that you have an uneven development of class activity and an uneven development of class consciousness in the working class."

Development

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

Nation

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

Time

"And you cannot have a socialist revolution commandeered from the top, ordered around by some omniscient leader or group of leaders."

Leadership

"You need a vanguard organization in order to overcome the dangerous potential brought about by the uneven development of class militancy and class consciousness."
