"The working classes in every country only learn to fight in the course of their struggles.... Social democracy... is only the advance guard of the proletariat, a small piece of the total working masses; blood from their blood, and flesh from their flesh. Social democracy seeks and finds the ways, and particular slogans, of the workers' struggle only in the course of the development of this struggle, and gains directions for the way forward through this struggle alone."
--Rosa Luxemburg
Action as antidote to free-floating theory: the emphasis on struggle is salutary and will provide the only way forward, if a way forward is to be found.
Now, to draw myself a bath.
