“It is essential to grasp the incontestable truth that a Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.” RealFactsRealityTheoryEssentialsYesterdayReal LifeComplexityOutlinesMarxistTrue Fact Book:Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution Source: Bolshevism and the Russian Revolution
