Mistakes in themselves are unavoidable. |
On the contrary, history generally confirms that the more conscious and the better you are organized in vanguard organizations, the more constructively you operate in the mass organizations of the working class. |
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. |
Only under conditions of revolutionary crises do you have the highest level of self-organization; this is the Soviet type of organization, which is to say, workers' councils, people's councils, call them what you want, popular committees. |
Otherwise we get off the track and we do not fulfil the historical role which we want to fulfil: to help the masses, the exploited and the oppressed of the world, build a classless society, a world socialist federation. |
Periodically, the workers do revolt against bourgeois society, not by a hundred, five hundred, or a thousand, but by the millions. |
Revolution is an instrument, like a party is an instrument. |
Revolution is not a goal in itself. |
Socialist democracy is not a luxury but an absolute, essential necessity for overthrowing capitalism and building socialism. |
Socialist democracy is not, a luxury and its need is not limited to the most advanced industrial countries. |
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. |
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. |
The most elementary self-organizations are trade unions. |
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. |
The radical and international definition of a communist society given by Marx and Engels inevitably leads to the perspective of a transition (transition period) between capitalism and communism. |
