I guess what I always found funny was the human condition. There is a certain comedy and pathos to trouble and accidents. Like, when a driver has parked his car crookedly and then wonders why he has the bad luck of being hit.

Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds.

If you don't start somewhere, you're gonna go nowhere.

So we have had to dispense with the indispensable.

Long speeches, the shaking of fists, the banging of tables and strongly worded resolutions out of touch with the objective conditions do not bring about mass action and can do a great deal of harm to the organisation and the struggle we serve.

As a leader, one must sometimes take actions that are unpopular, or whose results will not be known for years to come.
