It Is Not Difficult To Be A Revolutionary When Revolution Has Already Broken Out And Is In Spate, When All People Are Joining The Revolution Just Because They Are Carried Away, Because It Is The Vogue, And Sometimes Even From Careerist Motives. It Is Far More Difficult--and Far More Precious--to Be A Revolutionary When The Conditions For Direct, Open, Really Mass And Really Revolutionary Struggle Do Not Yet Exist.
