History Is At Once Freedom

How Many Times Have I Wondered If It Is Really Possible To Forge Links With A Mass Of People When One Has Never Had Strong Feelings For Anyone, Not Even One's Own Parents: If It Is Possible To Have A Collectivity When One Has Not Been Deeply Loved Oneself By Individual Human Creatures. Hasn't This Had Some Effect On My Life As A Militant--has It Not Tended To Make Me Sterile And Reduce My Quality As A Revolutionary By Making Everything A Matter Of Pure Intellect, Of Pure Mathematical Calculation?

From The Moment When A Subordinate Class Becomes Really Independent And Dominant, Calling Into Being A New Type Of State, The Need Arises Concretely, Of Building A New Intellectual And Moral Order, I.e. A New Type Of Society, And Hence The Need To Elaborate The Most Universal Concepts, The Most Refined And Decisive Ideological Weapons.

Indifference Is The Dead Weight Of History.

The Starting-point Of Critical Elaboration Is The Consciousness Of What One Really Is, And Is 'knowing Thyself'as A Product Of The Historical Processes To Date, Which Has Deposited In You An Infinity Of Traces, Without Leaving An Inventory.

Common Sense Is The Folklore Of Philosophy.
