"Politics has nothing to do with being right, politics is about succeeding. One can have the best analysis, understand political developments, know that historical materialism is the key to understanding social processes. [Are you going to] scream that to people? That’s how the enemy wants us: small, speaking a language no one understands, hiding behind our traditional symbols. [Lenin] didn’t talk to the Russians about dialectical materialism, he talked to them about bread and peace. And that is one of the main lessons of the 20th century".
