The CLASS STRUGGLE is never over -even if smothered for years. A premise of revolutionary Marxism is that the modern working class -unlike generations of slaves and serfs - is not a passively suffering, permanently stupefied, politically impotent class.
It is also foolish to idealize the oppressed. Make them YOUR family and you can deal with their strengths and weaknesses . In " 1984 " Orwell's " hero " Winston Smith observes that the proles " lacked general ideas ".
Supplying " General Ideas for Revolt " are the creative activity of the vanguard socialist party- not self-proclaimed but proclaimed by a truly MASS movement.
If there is a better source than the World Socialist Web Site, kindly direct me there .
