The degeneration of the revolution in Russia does not pass from the revolution for communism to the revolution for a developed kind of capitalism, but to a pure capitalist revolution.

A better economic order is worth a little bloodshed.

They produce self-loathing to the point of extinction of self, and it is respect for self that makes resistance conceivable.
