The Clergy, No Less Than The Capitalist

Revolutionary Tactics Cannot Be Invented By Leaders; They Must Develop Spontaneously-history Comes First, Leaders' Consciousness Second.

Only Through The Conscious Action Of The Working Masses In City And Country Can It Be Brought To Life, Only Through The People's Highest Intellectual Maturity And Inexhaustible Idealism Can It Be Brought Safely Through All Storms And Find Its Way To Port.

Freedom Only For Supporters Of The Government, Only For The Members Of One Party - However Numerous They May Be - Is No Freedom At All. Freedom Is Always And Exclusively Freedom For The One Who Thinks Differently. Not Because Of Any Fanatical Concept Of 'justice' But Because All That Is Instructive, Wholesome And Purifying In Political Freedom Depends On This Essential Characteristic, And Its Effectiveness Vanishes When 'freedom' Becomes A Special Privilege.

Freedom Only For The Members Of The Government, Only For The Members Of The Party - Though They Are Quite Numerous - Is No Freedom At All.

Without General Elections, Without Unrestricted Freedom Of Press And Assembly, Without A Free Struggle Of Opinion, Life Dies Out In Every Public Institution, Becomes A Mere Semblance Of Life, In Which Only The Bureaucracy Remains As The Active Element. Public Life Gradually Falls Asleep, A Few Dozen Party Leaders Of Inexhaustible Energy And Boundless Experience Direct And Rule. Such Conditions Must Inevitably Cause A Brutalization Of Public Life: Attempted Assassinations, Shootings Of Hostages, Etc.
