"We have said that there could not have been Social-Democratic consciousness among the workers. It would have to be brought to them from without. The history of all countries shows that the working class, exclusively by its own effort, is able to develop only trade union consciousness, i.e., the conviction that it is necessary to combine in unions, fight the employers, and strive to compel the government to pass necessary labour legislation, etc."
- "What is to be done?", Chapter B. 1902.
Congratulations, you take a quote of context from a chapter detailing that you must get the view out there of an alternative system (a propagandists words and an agitators voice).
It's like citing Chomsky as a "bad person" because you said non-violent resistance to Nazis is bad when the quote is "you can't have non-violent resistance against the Nazis in a concentration camp, to take an extreme case..."
"We must take up actively the political education of the working class and the development of its political consciousness."
tl;dr. lick
ling to view the boring shit.
