Bullshit.

Revolutionaries can't afford *not* to doubt. If you
stop doubting, you stop being able to objectively
critique - and correct - your mistakes.

(Unless you'd like to make the rather unique claim
that revolutionaries are incapable of error.)

If that comes with people thinking reactionary
thoughts, so be it - that's called a "necessary evil."
Stopping such thoughts is impractical anyway, and
trying to stop them leads to a society of witchunts.

How can the people effectively administer society if
they do not have the freedom to criticize themselves
and their peers?
