No dispute, but we know also that the Russian revolution was not
made under the banner of "Communism" either, but *for*:
PEACE, LAND, BREAD!
In other words: real, tangible necessities for the people.
Basically, for all our abstract arguing, it is the masses,
led by a self-aware working class, who will wage the
revolution.  Despite what some might say (no names)
they are the only force that can overthrow the capitalist order.
The role of intellectuals on this list should be outward .
And upward.
Raise that fist.
Let that middle finger spring out now, and then.

boing!
